This is such a great idea! Both for committed learners and for those who just need a cheat sheet for conversations with more experienced technicians. Having a category for enterprise tools and DevOps tools would also be really handy (ie. Azure, ActiveDirectory, Elastic Beanstalk, Heroku, etc.)

That potato is pimpin. Big pimpin.

They seem kinda cookie cutter...

I know that the article itself doesn't take sides as to which one is "better", but I'm curious to know which one is more popular. Does anybody here have a favorite? (and why?)

Wow. This guy didn't even switch out the stock photos... sloppy.

Was this link posted by the same M. Bosch that gave a "testimonial" ?

I see nothing about free coffee on this page...

From looking at the website, I don't see what the value proposition is at first glance. Why would this help me as a rails engineer more than buying the rights to use an html theme from Envato? That seems to be cheaper and hold a much less steep learning curve. I'm not trying to be a pain, but I am honestly missing something.

It would be more fun if people would actually respond...

nice

I really find the image lightbox functionality irritating. I stopped reading because the words would be blacked out every time my mouse hovered over an image or even beside it. Really poor UI/UX design there.

Good start, but it's definitely lacking. English is a complex language. Using dependent clauses can modify the meaning of the independent clause. In this case, the algorithm only takes into account the independent clause, causing the summarized meaning to be significantly less than the complete meaning.

Awesome project, Malcx! If you're looking for someone to help you out on the front-end side, I'd like to talk to you about linking up!

You know, there's still no reason that it can't get to page 1. That would certainly give it the traction it needs.

This is too cool! And I love the "pay with a tweet/share" option. Now us broke college kids don't have to miss out on the action!

That seems interesting, but what exactly is "pop"? And why is there a photo of a SODA in the article?

:P

I disagree. Account creation is very important to building a client book of business. There should be two options: 1) Sign up with Facebook/Google+ or 2) Enter only first name and email address. Other information can be gathered at a later date.

The only downside to this is their pricing. The smallest license costs $5k, and it's designed to be used by 5 developers. They don't currently have a pricing model for single developers, so they're not quite Codeacademy.

I love it.
