First time I used Shazam, was so amazed. Had to download the original paper, still couldn't understand well enough how it worked, in order to code it. now lets get to work on it.

Great article, thank you

Hey Andrew, sorry I can't help. having the same problem here, seems like CSS, html, JavaScript, PHP, a nice website, and a github account, just don't make the cut to earn a decent living. Every company asks for years and years of professional experience.

If I find the solution I'll share it with you anyway. hope you do the same. best of luck, keep working and leave you a nice motivational video http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=ujMP41Rphzc

however, if we want to become outstanding developers, the only option is to work harder, smarter, and enjoy the process

Hey Zach thank you for the heads-up, the carousel is intentional. However, it is worth checking if you found it estrange.

Same question here. (rant) I'm based in Australia and have found very difficult to land a full-time Job for an Entry level web developer. (adding I'm international, on a temporary working visa). freelance sites promote races to find the lower bidder and Job seeking boards are full of recruiters who usually ask for 5+ years of commercial experience in every known to man JavaScript framework + ASP.Net, PHP, SOAP, REST, LAMP environment and Cloud-based VPS what ever that means to the recruiter. (I feel relieved already) If any of you have read this far, my portfolio is on http://smaugh.net/ and I'm available for hire!

this is a tutorial worth watching for beginners and advanced users, https://tutsplus.com/course/improve-workflow-in-sublime-text... an hour or two of investment, could save countless hours of work.
