Thanks for the feedback. You're correct, we're definitely trying to follow the popular advice on here. Yeah, getting the benefits across is going to be the only way people will see the value of the app. We tried to do that on the front page

This is my first product, I'd be really interested to hear what the community thinks about it. We built this because as web developers we're always asked to implement an in app context sensitive help system, but maintaining that help system

It's rare that I've seen the Java VM described as horrible. In fact, it seems to be quite highly respected and seems to be working out well for Scala and Clojure. Obviously, there's also Twitter who partially moved to the VM from Rails. Wou

Congrats on releasing your app. Sure it's a stupid app, but you learned so much and had fun. When you have an idea for your next stupid app the whole process will seem so much easier.

This is also a problem for some school boards. My sister is using Khan Academy with her ELL students (they don't speak any English but Khan's working great for them). Signing a student up to a standalone service is no problem, but as soon a

I have a copy of Code Complete on my desk, it is 915 pages long. The techniques in there have been gathered from years of experience and research. There's no way I'll ever absorb all of the knowledge in there, but some of it may stick. When

Check out Sikuli, it does pattern matching on images with a bit of OCR thrown in. It has its own quirks and isn't nearly as mature as Selenium but is neat because it doesn't care at all about the underlying layout of a page. http://sikuli.
