I think if you're older than 12 there are an infinite amount of better options that teach a LOT more than any Head First book. I didn't understand programming concepts until I got out of the usual "type this in and the consol

In one word, freemium. I think there are some things worth paying for and others not. The first things I want to implement are the things that would require payment. And you're right about finding a target market, the initial target wo

Would you mind going to http://www.ethanglover.biz/ and clicking the "E-mail Me" button at the bottom left? I trust HN users, but I think it's bad practice posting my e-mail address on a public forum. :)

I'm not a fan of any sites that teach programming. They're too passive, don't take things seriously, or are meant for children (like the Head First series). I'm not absolutely opposed to dumping all the unique features o

Do you know of a good source to seek people? I'm skeptical of most freelance sites because they're generalized and used by a lot of people who just want to "make money online". If you were seeking a programmer, where wou

MathJax has something called "JSXGraph" that I've never used. Looking at it, it might take some getting used to, but doesn't seem too bad. http://www.onemathematicalcat.org/JSXGraphDocs/JSXGraphDocs.

Why is this marked Show HN and why was it posted at all?

How about the ability to browse? I'm tired of signing up to all these new sites only to find I'll never use them. I'd like to know what I'm getting first.

I assume the sign-up form is just an e-mail list for updates? Why isn't there any information on the website?

This is something an intermediate who shouldn't really be answering questions would say. 99%? Not even close. A large majority of unanswered/downvoted questions are HARD questions that people can't answer themselves and opt i

It's fixed now, the thread rehit my RSS feed too. I've signed up, I always like a rethinking of teaching code online. Honestly, I haven't see anybody do it in a really good way that doesn't just target passive learners o
