I have had a very similar experience to Jason learning Ruby on Rails through Team Treehouse. I was sick of just being the Hustler for my startups, I raised seed rounds, but could not get my hands dirty in code. Why I No Get My Act Together?!?!? I have tried to teach myself to code since 2007. I started my first profitable web company at age 20 without being able to afford a computer, but had to pay someone to code it up for me. Why I No Get My Act Together?!?!? I know that I am not a lead developer or even close, but I am learning the fundamentals and am able to build my own prototypes without bugging someone to be my co-founder. Now I can show them even if the prototype is sh*tty (read: less then great). I am now going through the Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ after going through: https://teamtreehouse.com/subscribe/plans?referrer=jameshighsmith https://teamtreehouse.com/subscribe/plans?referrer=jameshigh... and have even played around with changing my terminal: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-and-tips/how-to-customize-your-command-prompt/ http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-and-tips/how-to-cust... played with heroku, github, html, css, js.... I can't wait to go through more: http://programming-motherfucker.com/ http://programming-motherfucker.com/ as well as learn python and django. So right with you Jason, more non-tech guys should get their act together and put in the time.
