If You Want To Be The Donald Trump Of Startups, Learn To Code

Programming is a practical application of abstract math combining esoteric theory with experiential practice. And learning it can be every bit as brain-scramblingly incomprehensible and front-row-seat-for-Celine-Dion tedious as the previous sentence suggests.

But, if you want to start a technology company, you should learn to code. And the reason is Donald Trump.

Say whatever you want about the man (and, as a New Yorker, I can say plenty), Donald Trump achieved no small level of success in the real estate business. His real estate portfolio stretches from sea to shining sea, including a good-sized chunk of Manhattan, skyline causing Forbes to estimate his worth at $2.9 billion. He sits at #134 of that publication's list of wealthiest people in the United States, fomenting a serious bit of celebrity and funding a less serious flirtation with the White House. All this without the ability to get through a press conference with a single complete sentence or eat a New York slice correctly. How is a man whose public image is punctuated by obtuseness able to out-earn quite nearly anybody who reads this article by orders of magnitude?

If you were to ask him the secret to his success, he would point to a competitive edge handed down to him by his father: He knew what everything cost. Meaning he could look at a foundation and given its size, the type of concrete used, the techniques involved and a few other factors, Trump's old man had a rough sense of how much he should pay. His son often says that knowledge--the knowledge of what everything costs--is the linchpin of the Trump empire’s success. When looking at that ability across all that goes into real estate development, it is little wonder.

Demolition, architecture, plumbing, electrical work, heating, air conditioning, permits, labor, interior design, lumber, dry wall, 12-foot-tall golden letters spelling your own last name--Trump's big edge is he knows the going rate for all of it. There are hundreds of detai...

The Impossible - Trailer

Maria (Naomi Watts), Henry (Ewan McGregor) and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand, looking forward to a few days in tropical paradise. But on the morning of December 26th, as the family relaxes around the pool after their Christmas festivities the night before, a terrifying roar rises up from the center of the earth. As Maria freezes in fear, a huge wall of black water races across the hotel grounds toward her. Based on a true story, THE IMPOSSIBLE is the unforgettable account of a family caught, with tens of thousands of strangers, in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time. But the true-life terror is tempered by the unexpected displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that Maria and her family encounter during the darkest hours of their lives. Both epic and intimate, devastating and uplifting, THE IMPOSSIBLE is a journey to the core of the human heart.

Comic Book Bites: Allan Heinberg scripts Wonder Woman origin series Amazon; Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray extended cut rumoured

THE CW is becoming the go-to network for DC superheroes, with 10 seasons of Smallville under its belt and the Arrow series premiering on October 10.

To those Superman and Green Arrow adaptations you can now add fellow DC hero Wonder Woman. And as with the other two shows, an origin story is the chosen way forward.

According to New York Magazine's Vulture blog, a new take on the character with the working title Amazon is being scripted by Allan Heinberg, portraying Wonder Woman "as a young, budding superhero rather than a fully-formed defender of liberty." It's suggested there might not yet be any costume with the classic golden tiara and bulletproof bracelets.

Heinberg has worked as a writer and producer on Sex and the City, The O.C. and Grey's Anatomy and, reassuringly, was lead writer for the Wonder Woman comic in 2006-2007 when he relaunched the character after the dramatic events of the Infinite Crisis limited series. His work can be seen collected in the graphic novel Wonder Woman: Who is Wonder Woman? (see below).

No pilot episode for Amazon has yet been greenlit at this early stage, but the choice of writer and network sound like a good start.

A previous TV adaptation had been attempted by NBC, with Adrianne Palicki in the title role and Liz Hurley as the villain, but was axed after poor reactions to the pilot.

Warner Bros is also trying to get a Wonder Woman film off the ground, with Green Lantern co-writer Michael Goldenberg reported to be working on the screenplay.

On the big screen, the studio's only notable success with superheroes in recent years has been Christopher Nolan's caped crusader. And we might be getting even more Batman for our buck when the Blu-ray comes out.

Nuke The Fridge claims to have learned from sources that there will be an extended Director's Cut of The Dark Knight Rises on the Blu-ray.

The site says the film will be 30 minutes longer and include more backstory on Tom Hardy's villain Bane.
