If I were you - I might switch all the free content to be at the top of the page. Initially when I clicked the link I immediately saw "sign up to access" on 6/7 of courses. Luckily I know how to use the scroll bar :) Just saying I fly thoug

Seriously the Feds better be watching this closely. This smells like a lot of trouble when Harold is wrong.

Ok so how many prank calls have you gotten? Anyone mistakenly call thinking it was a phone sex number?? Rails does have a lot of connotations...

Is this real or just an exercise? (sorry if that sounds stupid - you never know what kind of shit gets posted here)

I am sorry - while I don't condone what Anonymous does, these guys got pwned. They need to quietly go away and start another scam business.

Incredibly generic advice here, but why not build a simple blog app - you would only need a handful of db tables, and would learn a heck of a lot!

This is strictly business. I would get / create a full contract that immediately clarifies how and when you get your percentage. Also what type of stock is this? I second jaltucher's response.

I would also like to add - how many of you started with 0 profit when you went full time doing it?

RiderOfGiraffes is absolutely correct. I often do quite a bit of documentation upfront to make sure the client knows exactly what they are going to get. From wireframes to technical summaries, each is a step in the overall project process (

Wow that's hard - only because I really think the experiences would be VERY different. Imagine you are sitting in exchange MBA program in Hong Kong learning first hand about the economic policy / human rights differences between China and t

Chinese hackers love IE 6. This would be my guess as to why IE 6 has a higher count there then anywhere else. I don't say this out of spite, our site just uses an exception notification system that floods my inbox with tons of bogus request
