I am a designer, but I did not have enough equipment. I only have one PC, if there is a MacBook, it will help me a lot.
My startup: http://marketica.co
I’d like to win the Macbook Air because I will be starting at a coding bootcamp soon, and they require a Mac. As opposed to any other OS, I want to study on a Mac because I also want to learn Swift and be able to create my own apps.
The MacBook would give me the opportunity to code on the way . It would also increase my photo editing capabilities in holidays.
I’m a stundent and i can’t afford a MacBook at the Moment, that’s the problem ????
As a web developer,we often use wordpress themes for frontend and seo things as it gives us some cool prebuilt tools by some of the best ui/ux guys and we dont have to worry about these things.And we all know how MyThemeShop excel in all those fields by providing a platform for all cool themes and tools for WP.
So yeah i desperately wants a MyThemeShop membership….
Now coming to MacBook Air,i mean its a universal fact that MacBook are best workstations for any developers.They are lightweight, dev. Friendly tools,awesome terminal,everything ks just a terminal away,cool network management support and best for servers.I have couple of projects which require regular programming and doing that with heavy flithy laptops in my lap is frustrating as well as tiresome.So i want a MacBook Air to easily get my projects done for present and future.Moreover i am a hackathon enthusiast so i carry my laptop with me whereever i go and perform.Having MacBook Air laptop in my toolkit ease my all this hefty work.
Why not…hehe
The MacBook Air would help me develop for a wider audience. As a freelance developer, prototyping is a big thing. This helps me lower the time it takes for me to show my concepts to my clients. This being said, most of the well-known prototyping tools are available only on OS X.
I would also be able to develop native applications for both the Android and iOS ecosystems.
Right now i’m sketching out some layout for my upcoming digital agency business, so a nice mac would be an awesome way for me to get into sketch and other mac only tools!
Hi, my name is Jonathan from South Africa.
I do a lot of freelance work and currently use a very old outdated iMac which i can’t carry around and it is very slow.
I will be the most grateful and lucky person in the world if I could win the macbook air.
Thank you very much for this opportunity.
Kind regards / Merry Christmas / Happy new year
Jonathan
I’m 25 years old, in my free time I like creating websites. Would be better work on MacBook insted of on my PC. Many usefull programs are created for MacBook and thats why I like to win! 🙂
I need a MacBook. I really, need it. If you do not give this MacBook to me, I will die. 😉
I’m finishing up my masters in Interaction design and am going to enter the business world next year with an outdated pc laptop. Having a fresh new device to produce my work would greatly improve the speed and quality of my work.
I don’t have a sad story, I’m just greedy and I need macbook for development.
Since I’m mostly interested in plugins development, ‘Premium WordPress plugins’ would be fine too 😛
I’m a developer, I have a startup. To develop Android applications can use a PC, but not with iOS. If I have a Macbook was very helpful at all.
The MacBook Air would really add some mobility to my work. I am stuck to a desktop environment at the moment and having a laptop would give me access to better work opportunities.
I love gifts before the New Year. Would certainly improve my work 🙂
Wanting to theme on the go as well as blog about new development techniques, tricks & tips.
The MacBook Air is a convenient tool to do this on the go, at home & when I’m working for a client in different offices.
Iam currently changing my career path and want to start as a Web Developer and a Mac book is the non plus as a Web Developer
I’m sort of a devops. I run our server and creating client website. Having the Macbook is a plus as I dont have my own laptop. Only desktop. Even so the wordpress premium theme is still cool though. Thanks in advance.
I’m currently working on a late 2009 Macbook, so it would be awesome to have a new!
Because a portable computer would simplify my life^^
I am a designer, but I did not have enough equipment. I only have one PC, if there is a MacBook, it will help me a lot.
My personal website : webvanya.ru
The astonishingly thin MacBook Air is so named as it makes for a superbly aerodynamic Frisbee (or ‘flying disc’ in copyrighted territories), a purpose to which I would put it to great use with my 6 year old son Herman, on whom we are pinning our hopes on winning the local championship, thus lifting us from the grinding poverty that comes from my 20 hour days producing code for the local bakery on my Commodore 64, for which the astonishly thin MacBook Air would also be a very welcome replacement. Fingers crossed here!
I never had a MacBook. Thus I must win. 😉
My 2007 MacBook is on its last legs, so now is a great time to win a new one, so I can continue designing wonderful websites (thanks for the inspiration & ideas) and continue to experiment with the fusion of site engineering & beautiful design. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I think I should win the Macbook Pro because I have al my life dreaming reading and learning about photography, music theory and production and some develope languages and how can I help my 3rd world country and culture, something we’re really losing.
Also the memebership because is something where I can learn more and expand me to still trying to chase my dreams. Now that I see this giveaway I think I should start a blog where I can start to post about the culture and my country so, yeah, even if I do not win anything of this, I’m still winning because this gave me an idea.
Thanks 🙂
This is my dream machine, small, compact, but packs a punch (enough for my dev related work). I would love to get one
My Tweet
I’m web developer and iOS developer. Currently i have windows pc and virtual hakintosh cus i’m living in Serbia where MAC is costing too much about 3500$ and developers average salary is about 350$ so i would be a very great full to win a MAC Air so i could continue to make awesome thing for iOS in Swift. Thanks!
I am a full stack developer, I tend to spend most of my day in front of my basic laptop, so if I ever win the MacBook Air, it will help me a lot, with its unix compatibility osx instead of my windows, but the most amazing help would be the long battery life ^^ , coding for 8 hours or so , without the need to charge it, plus it is so light compared to my laptop.
My current laptop shows me more and more a BSOD because of hardware failing. In a couple of weeks I will start my graduation internship (in ux design) and have to do a lot of mobile working. At this moment I have to make lot’s of backups and I have reached the state in which I don’t trust my laptop anymore, but because I don’t have the money to buy a new one I still have to use it.
For me it would really improve my workflow when I can use a non-failing laptop.
I think I should win the MacBook so that it would motivate me do better and develop some useful stuffs as this site(http://tympanus.net/codrops/) is doing.
hey i’m web developer with shitty equipment with a dream that one day everything will change…
Hi !
I’m Maxime, i study computer science a development at the university.
I’d like to win the macbook, because i don’t have the money to buy one (Apple products are very expensive here in France), and it will help me a lot for web development (i’m using Vms for docker, it’s painful with my computer) and in web design (photoshop on windows is not as powerful as on a mac, the same for after effects when i have to make videos for the university). And a mac would help me to develop apps for iOS devices and start mobile development.
Good luck everyone !
I don’t want to be black,
I will be complete with just one MAC.
… i really need it for ui.
I study web and app design at the University. I would love to get the opportunity to access the site to use the materials within the sites I manage. Actually I would be interested mainly to only some plugin e themes then the fourth or the first prize would be the most well chosen for me.
I wish you a great day. 🙂
I’m a freelance web designer and I often buy premium themes for some of my clients, and of course I love wordpress. A MacBook Air is always welcome too! 😀
A MacBook Air would be a great tool to tackle iOS mobile development. Thank you for this and good luck to all. Cheers.
It will make everything easier 😉
OS X is such a nice OS to work with and a small but powerful machine like the Macbook Air will take a nice advantage and so I do.
I `d love to win MacBook to enhance my designing skills by using sketch and indeed it has worth.
My New Year’s resolution is to start working on my own as a invincible female developer. I just started working on my website and this win will certainly help me in ramping up my own business. And oh Gosh who does not love winning contests? Good luck for everyone!
I recently quit my job so as to take up web design and development fulltime. The MacBook takes care of one of my biggest headache at the moment which is finding decent equipment with an extremely limited budget. The membership will provided a dream jumpstart to my new endeavour.
Hi there,
– First, thanks for contest it give designer and developer some space to be in touch with his goals like [ Skills, Capabilities ].
– Membership will be good for developer to consolidate his information. For designer will be great to grow up his skills.
– MacBook Air is we all know is great tool give us easy way to employ our skills.
Good luck for All.
Cheers
Hello,
I have to win the MacBook because I am a student and I saved just to buy one. I need it for web development and the objective c. Thank you to consider my participation.
Receiving the MacBook Air would help me immensely when it comes to my development work and my school. Plus I could finally get familiar with IOS development. It would be a huge upgrade from my ASUS netbook.
I believe everyone loves to have a MacBook Air as a free gift. I am not the exception too.
I really love to have a MacBook Air so I can use it for IOS development and Safari compatibility testing. I ever consider about MacBook as my tool for web design and development but its price stops me. So it would be a wonderful gift for me to have a chance to experience MacBook!
Good Luck everyone!!
I am a front-end web developer with a low-end pc. A macbook air would really boost my workflow. Also I was planning to start android and ios app development but my pc stands in my way.
I’m a freelance UX designer / developer and need to update my Mac. it would be awesome to get a Macbook Air.
I also make websites in WordPress so this giveaway would be great. Actually my website is in WordPress.
Very cool giveaway!
Wow guys !
I’d really like to win this MacBook. My current computer is overheating and make a lot of noise. Having a good portable machine to work with would be cool 🙂
Also i’m interested in the wordpress themes, even though i’m currently working with Drupal.
I’m a website designer, i need it for my job. I would really like to win the macbook! 🙂
I’m a web UI designer and have heard that Mac always helps a designer to build websites with true color information due to its premium visual clarity and also got to know that there are apps like Sketch, Coda for designers/developers in Mac that help build sites in a streamlined way. The Mac air will surely help me in achieving them if I win it.
Thanks for this awesome opportunity and good luck to all.
My current working machine (iMac 2009) is quite old and it would be nice to work mobile than stationary.
