I HIGHLY recommend the free lectures and assignments on the Stanford Engineering Everywhere website. The two relevant courses are Programming Abstractions and Programming Paradigms. They dive deep into C++ topics, including advanced memory management (you'll write your own allocator) and the...

There is a strong possibility my own startup will be getting funded soon. Do you have any cool resources you could recommend to learn about growth hacking (anything that really helped you)? I read the QuickSprout guide and I'll be implementing some of those ideas.

Hi guys, This is a clueless newbie question. I have developed an app that is available on the Shopify app store. I'm making some money from it, but I need to drive focused traffic (ecommerce merchants) to my website to get more installs. I've decided to use blogging as a way to do this. The...

YouTube is written in Python. Reddit is written in Python. Google uses Python extensively. Bank of America is writing the majority of their new stuff in Python. Nothing against Node, but to dismiss Python out of hand like that is not reasonable. It is proven as a technical foundation for some...

Hi, Could you send me a price list, please? Regards, bicyclethief

Wow. This looks great. Would you mind sending me some samples to look at?

Cool. Let me know how you get on with it. I found it a while ago and used it to automate all the annoying stuff in my job. Now I'm telling anybody who will listen how great it is.

In-browser scripting, essentially. Since Netscape bundled a Javascript interpreter with their browser back in the day, Javascript has been the default language for client-side scripting on web pages. This used to mean code to enable simple interactive behaviours (click a button and one div...

Please send me info. Thanks

Hey, Could you PM me the details, please? Regards, bicyclethief

Could you expand on this? I think it's a good idea, but I'm not sure what it involves as I have never done any outsourcing.
