1. He did all the work. Spent 4 months learning Javascript on codeacademy.com, then started working on the app.
2. I helped with teaching coding and debugging.
3. Yes, just playing would be really simple. But it also records and allows you to edit phrases. So it's more than just a soundboard.
4. No one is claiming this is world changing. But he's 12 and stuck with it from coding through submission to the app store.

Enterprise Security For the Executive 75
brothke writes "If Shakespeare were to write an information security tragedy, it would not be titled Hamlet, rather Bayuk. The story of Jennifer Bayuk is tragic in that she spent a decade as CISO at Bear, Stearns, building up its security group to be one of the best in the business; only to find it vaporized when the firm collapsed and was acquired by J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp. After all that toil and sweat, Bayuk was out of a job. (Full disclosure: Bayuk and I have given a presentation together in the past, and I did get a copy of this book for free.)" Read below for Ben's review.
Guitar Hero World Tour Won't Allow Copyright Infringement 92
1Up did an interview with two of the developers for Guitar Hero: World Tour about the process of creating the game. One of the interesting things they mention is that they won't be putting up with people who use the song creation tools to make covers of existing songs. "We'll be actively monitoring the site. And, obviously, if the copyright holder complains, Activision will pull it down immediately. We can't condone people putting up covers of music. It's really there for original content." We discussed the creation tools themselves recently. Since then, Activision has announced that they'll be including a MIDI sequencer to assist with making your own tunes.
