FontAgent Pro is a great font management solution for OS X. One of the best things about it is that its 100% cloud based. You can run the entire thing hosted in their cloud instance or you can run it on your own server. Its a great solution for font management, and does everything from managing your font licenses, users, libraries and sets. The one problem however is the fact that when deploying a new font solution you find yourself in a quandary over the right way to deploy that...

However its not very...
Recently I have become more and more interested with the wonderful world of Objective-C and C. For the last couple years I have been a hobbyist developer and still am today. I never really felt that my development skills had reached any level of real skill and so I have been an active member on websites like Stack overflow, Apple Developer Forums and more asking over and over the answers to what were probably very simple issues and questions that I hurdled over while learning. I still do not feel...
