Hi trg2,

I am already taking No. 1, and will now add No. 2 to my favorites. Thank you.

EDIT......

As suggested, here it is....

Blog at FAVORTEXT.com. I've used Wordpress to generate this blog. It looks weird and things are out of place, but I will tackle this bit by bit as time goes on. This is where I will jot down my journey on learning coding, business development and going from an idea to an MVP prototype.

I wish everyone here who took the time to respond a glorious and wonderful life.

Thank you Jugurtha.

This is great. Doing YC remotely sounds like a good plan for founders with children and a job that won't allow them to take time off.

Nice. I didn't know about this quote.

Hi ramykhuffash,

I've just started learning the core web dev fundamentals - HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT. I am also taking a Ruby course on Udemy, and as mentioned, starting The Firehose Project in September. Two ideas so far: a. idea from my job (jail) b. ESL idea I always had even before starting the career as a jail guard.

Things change so fast, so I will see what happens when one of these ideas makes contact with customers.

This is very interesting. I don't have the pedigree mentioned in the article that, according to the article, leads one to Startup success. So, should I just give up or keep going?

Thank you. I will tackle setting up a blog and writing my first blog post sometime this week. Thank you for the offer. I will be in touch.

Thank you sir. I have recently downloaded the online version of Zed Shaw's Learn Python the Hard Way ebook with accompanying lessons. Taking this along with Udacity's Intro to Comp Science course which uses Python. Basic JS under my belt from team treehouse and udemy course.

Amazing. I've added this to my collection of web dev favourites. Thank you.

Thank you friend. I will get in touch.

I am glad to have witnessed someone like you who's so generous of their time, and knowledge. Sir, thank you.

OS - Windows. Saving for a Macbook (too expensive). I am already on Udacity's Intro to Computer Science and Python is used to teach this course. Plus going through Learn Python the Hardway by Zed Shaw. Taking a Ruby course on Udemy.

IDE - I use Sublime Text for front-end development lessons (team treehouse, udemy), and Cloud9 for the Ruby course I am taking through Udemy.

So much to learn! What is your email?

Thank you arianvanp. I will get in touch.

Eid Mubarek to you too. I am grateful for the offer and will reach out to you when I get my thoughts together!

This is medicine. Right here. When a total stranger believes in your dreams!

Hi Darrell,

I am joining The Firehose Project on Sept. 21st, 2015.

Dude!! You are an awesome human being!

Thank you. This is good. I will definitely take this into consideration.

Hi atroyn,

Thank for your feedback. I have two ideas in mind. One is about a process I would like to streamline using technology at my current job, and the other one deals with ESL and learning a new language. Many of the ESL or learn a language methods out there are so boring, and I think I have a way to make it less boring and actually learn something. I had this problem when I wanted to learn French. You can sit there and repeat all the French words until the cows come home, but it will be no use to you when you want to converse in real life situations. The idea is about learning a new language in a way that is engaging, not learning from a CD and tucked away in your bedroom.

This is not in any way meant to sound snarky, but I don't live under a rock. Hacker News will come to you or you will go to it when you question the trajectory of your life.

You are amazing. Thank you for the advice. I'm mainly paying (loan..ughh) for structure really. Work is hectic sometimes, and I need that approach of having defined schedule I can commit to, or else, I am everywhere. I have read most if not all of the essays and free open sources from YC startup school. I was actually watching this - http://startupclass.samaltman.com/ - last night when I wrote my first comment.

My profile is updated with my email. I would love to chat.

Thank you for the encouraging words.

I think you missed the part where I said I am on a journey to learn so I can be at a stage to start and build a Startup. No one comes out of their mother's you know what knowing everything they need to know. Thank you for the feedback though.

Also the canteen they order, way overpriced. There are numerous inefficiencies in the prison system, and Pigeonly seems like they picked one area, phones, to attack first.

Thank you Alex. This is very good. Two years may not be enough as I am starting from scratch, so I may just consider this.

By learning to code, my desire is to get to a stage where: a. I can converse with tech people who have been at this their whole live, b. gain the proficiency to build the mvp, c. become a team member with attributable skill set when company is formed, etc. Hiring someone is inevitable down the line, but I need to create the map for him/her to paint first.

I agree about the different skill sets. I am working on getting a mentor who I can learn from when it comes to all of the latter stuff you've mentioned.

Yes!

This made me giggle like a little girl though.

Hey bootload, you are right. I AM more than my job. I just like to throw that in there once in a while. The mistake is people reading and taking this literally, as if I can't do anything else or my numerous life experiences don't amount to anything when starting a Startup.
