The City Council has partnered with CUNY’s Institute for Software Design and Development and a network of New York City-based startups to create the Advanced Software Development Program. This program aims to help New Yorkers acquire the skills they need to compete for jobs in the local tech sector. The program, via online, classroom, and lab instruction, will train a select group of CUNY students in a year-long immersive program, which will culminate in a 12+ week placement at a local tech company.

Today’s generation of video game consoles, with high-definition resolutions of 1080p, boast motion sensing cameras that track your movement (Xbox 360 Kinect) and wireless controllers that serve as virtual ping pong paddles and tennis rackets (PlayStation Move and Wii-mote). Multiplayer online role-playing-games, such as World of Warcraft, provide players with opportunities to partner with others from all over the world in a fight to save their planets. And mobile games, like Angry Birds (with more than 700 million downloads across all platforms), are available anywhere, anytime, for anyone who uses a smartphone.

Moving forward, Tumblr’s CEO said that Tumblr will go ‘all in’ and expand on the East Coast, bringing in talent from all over the country to work in New York.
For now, I miss the grit and grime of New York. It is real and raw, and the commotion of the city is contagious. Startup life is characterized by constant motion and tenacious tinkering, not hikes on Mt. Tam and brunch in the Mission, and the pace of life and breadth of humanity in New York is invigorating. I like to tell people: New York is like coffee. You know it’s not good for you, and you don’t really like the taste, but you just can’t get enough. The rush, the jitters, they’re addicting, as are startups.
“Apparently DUMBO isn’t wanting for tech talent after all. The sleepy strip of cobblestones and art galleries beneath the Manhattan Bridge has seen a surge in tech company leases, and DUMBO Startup Lab is next on the list to trade in their small workspace for a 2,300 square foot loft.
Members of the startup lab have been working from the personal workspace of chief organizer Freddie Pikovsky since the lab’s inception, but the organization has seen such a dramatic uptick in membership recently that they’re moving up and out into a real office space.”
