FreeCodeCamp.com is showing that there's a hunger for learning JavaScript for people in their 20s and older, but what about teaching people (in the same age range?) other skills? I also mention FCC because they've made it so you c

Well-written, and hopefully captures the imagination of soon-to-be coders! I'd love to hear a follow-up post once she starts getting paid work so she can tell us exactly how she did it.

I'm Steve, and I'm a healthy eater and cheapskate. From 2002 to 2005 I researched nutrition and supplements _a lot_. Long story short, what's cheap, healthy, "pleasurable" (non-sexually), and fast/easy to make

Awesome project! Is being near Montreal necessary given that this is a software project? What about remote collaboration?

One solution is to use Google Docs and more, but to only store encrypted data there. This gets you the convenience of SaaS without the privacy issues (see http://rdist.root.org/2011/05/09/encrypted-google-docs-done-... ). Priv.ly has an in

From the title, I was hoping to read a crushing indictment of web developers for mostly creating useless crap. Sadly, it's more like the opposite: a shiny button inviting us all to view useless crap.

Tent's success is far from certain, of course. Sounds like you're convinced that just because something might not happen, it almost certainly will not. Also a fallacy.

I really appreciate what StatusNet is doing, but I've found that it's just not useful enough to... use. It's Twitter but more free and with far fewer users. That's rather different from Diaspora and Tent.io's visions. FYI: Today, Tent.is --

I write Python and Go code every week, and have since I started using Go almost 2 years ago. I appreciate Go because I'm working hard to become an engineer who builds robust software rather than a sloppy hacker that throws scripts together.

Release early, release often :-). We decided to launch this as soon as we thought other people could benefit from it. That day is today. As stated in the docs, the server-side auto-deploy code assumes you're running Ubuntu. Removing such as

Congrats to your team for winning! Building a project in 54 hours is awesome... Django Project Builder took a bit longer :-D

I also use Go. Roughly 80% of the code I write is still Python (Django apps), but there are times when Go just makes the most sense... so that's what I use. Whenever speed is key, I use Go. Its concurrency primitives are dead simple. It

I think your analysis would be spot if it weren't for one simple fact: you assume that the best technologies win, and this is clearly not the case. Ruby and PHP are perhaps the two slowest programming languages ever invented. And yet, they
