Well i think at that age kids are more interested in playing games and things like that..You could show them how cool games are made, show them some of the programming that involves, the design of the characters, all that stuff...Put them some examples of video games like Angry birds, Plants Vs zombies, Fruit ninja and so on..kids of this age are more interested in smartphone games than console, so this could be good examples, they just don't know the magic behind those games...Maybe they could get motivated and start their own game someday... Good luck!
Re:Ask HN: Who else keeps a secret diary of startup ideas? on Monday February 06, 2012 @05:59PM (#3559629)
I don't have a diary, i use evernote in my iphone, i add the problems that i have encountered in my day, and later i see if it can be solved with technology...you'll think i'm a little bit crazier, but it helps you a lot to arrange your ideas...what type of location based app are you attempting to do, i'm working in something for ios, its going to be location based too!...

Hi, what kind of magazine, is it an app magazine? Me and a friend of mine are making something similar, but for shopping in the android platform... Love to hear what you're doing!

1.-well i think you're right in something, you can always improve your coding skills with some dedication as you say..i also code, know technical things cuz im an engineer, but without a really technical cofounder that lives from programming, is hard to know how to develop the product or from where to start..btw im not first time entrepreneur. 2.-its something like location based app magazine. 3.yes i have spoken with my cofounder, he was a little bit busy by the time, know the problem is that i lack of a ios developer for the iphone app.

Re:Why i can't make this app on Sunday February 05, 2012 @04:50PM (#3555366)
No i haven't talked to them but my cofounder was acting weird beacuse he is in exams, i recently talk to him.. By the way i would also need some help to develop in ios
Re:Tell HN: I will build a functioning prototype of your idea on Sunday February 05, 2012 @03:20PM (#3555119)
And what projects have you recenly have created..I recently got accepted to an incubatoy to develop an iOS product, i only have the idea sketched and a business plan..i about to have some intital funding from it...And right now i need a technical cofounder to develop this project, in order to beacome my future partner...if you're willing to help me don't hesistate to contact me: [email protected]'m willing to give some equitity for the company in exchange...

good luck trying to expand your portfolio!

Hi i think that you need to work now in something that you're very passionate about, that's when the really hard work comes..

I started too with ROR to develop applications in less amount of time, and believe javascript i think is a good tool to implement with ROR, it will help you a lot to develop the front-end...

But please don't try to make another social network, or photo sharing app, i think there are too much right now, i have no doubt that this could help you improve your coding skills...i got crazy when i hear that this xx company is developing a new cool sharing app...that's all!

good luck in your next project!

Done :)
Re:Why i can't make this app on Sunday February 05, 2012 @12:16PM (#3554508)
Yes i think that could be a solution, the bad thing is that most of that persons are only commited by a very short period of time.. I most cases they don't want to continue with you, and move to their next project.. But it has to be a shorcut in order to find a real cofounder
Re:Why i can't make this app on Sunday February 05, 2012 @12:03PM (#3554459)
Yes i have some coding skills, i code in ruby on rails,javascript , the thing is that now that i'm alone i don't know how to develop the product, how to start!or from where to start-- ... By the way the product is in objective c, but i can do some javascript there, html or css...:)
Re:Why i can't make this app on Sunday February 05, 2012 @02:53AM (#3553570)
Forgot to say the technical CoFounder that im looking for, have to be an iOS developer,strong in html,css,javascript,have a keen eye for ui implementation... Also i want to remark that i don't want a monkey coder for me, i'm trying to find a partner in this business...
Re:Why i can't make this app on Sunday February 05, 2012 @02:10AM (#3553506)
Sorry for that, i will give 40% of the company...
Re:Should Beginners, Today, Start With JavaScript? on Saturday February 04, 2012 @09:05PM (#3553047)
I think that yo should start with C,many of the programming courses in both universities and highschools try to teach this programming language first, mainly because is very easy to read and understand... After learning the basics you could start with some ruby on rails beacuase you could be able to develop powerful applcations in less time... Good luck! ;)

Why i can't make this app

Well my name is arturo, i'm an aeronautical engineer, but most interested in entreprenuership and internet startups.I recently got acepted to an accelerator in san francisco and i'am about to get 25k in founding; can't say the name. I was trying to develop the app with my techical co-founder, but he's recently acting very strange since we got accepted to the program; he's currently studying...
