Does anyone have any stories about learning with Codecademy? I have a few friends that are very interested in learning to program (mainly web dev stuff - HTML/CSS/JS) and are looking to use Codecademy. I personally learned in high school by

Apparently they aren't accepting any more new users. I have since moved on to Spotify for all my music needs, so I couldn't give you an updated take on AG. It's an interesting platform, but with stuff like Spotify (that quite literally give

Audiogalaxy was one of my favorite ways to listen to music without physically storing it on my iPhone's hard drive (since I have something like 8,000 songs). The only disadvantage was that I had to keep my desktop on (and the Audiogalaxy he

Another thing unsaid about the Lean Startup approach is that it seems to heavily favor software startups, almost to the point that it is more of a manual for a software/web startup than any other type of company. In creating a vertically-in

At least it'll take the heat off Zuckerberg for a while. Although it might make Jobs roll in his grave.

Great resource. Something that's worked well for me is optimizing landing pages based on the prior page after thorough A/B testing. For example, we determined that most visits through Facebook/Twitter were by teenagers, so we optimized the

The one thing I've got to hand to W3Schools is that they've (he's) SEO'd the crap out of the site (probably also due to its massive popularity). If I search something very specific, such as a certain CSS3 element or JS function, the definit

Very cool stuff. Something that immediately comes to mind is if this can be done in an even more inclusive way (not necessarily dependent on Twitter Bootstrap). I.e. if there is a WYSIWYG kind of way to create divs, containers, and easily d
