I get most of my ebooks from Amazon. Sometimes, I buy directly from the authors (like 'step by step UI design'). I've also bought a few bundles from Smashing Mag. I read most of my ebooks on Kindle for iPhone and Android. Somtimes I'll read

Funny thing, I saw this ad just yesterday. The eventbrite page has been pulled I think now. But I remember seeing the no women point and then also saw other points like 'No Ideas People' or something to that effect. The flyer struck me as s

Thanks for this. What a simple concept! I have so many docs trying to manage myself that they have become almost unmanageable. I've been using Google docs, Evernote and Trello. I recently took to using Trello as an electronic diary. Not to

Just bought a copy with the PSD. As everyone here have said, the price point for both bundles make it a no-brainer. I would say that the lightbox expand and contract was confused for close. It took me a few clicks to work out. Love the fon

Right, this is a GoDaddy 'technical glitch'. I have a couple of domain names about to expire with them. I certainly will not be renewing with them or using them again for anything new. Their SOPA episode has left a bad taste...

Congrats on the launch! And thanks for sharing your experience with us. I'm at the start of a very similar process. I've been sitting on an idea over the past year and had a false start with a co-founder. I'm now pushing on on my own, so yo

I want to support this sort of movement, but it seems a little naive. Sure, not going to a movie is going to have some impact on the big movie studios and companies, but I happen to love listening to music. And I still want to support the a

I think this is a pretty simple but important little piece of advice. I am certainly guilty of speaking before thinking a lot of times. In the day of 140 characters, blogs and a steady stream of self-anointed 'expert' bloggers and media pun

Very nice effort. Hopefully this will help start a shake up of the entrenched videoconferencing industry and all their expensive and cumbersome technology...

Congrats! I love getting inspiration like this!! I just signed up through the backdoor, good looking website. Are you going to publish your blog on how you got it done? I see the link to the blog on the site isn't working at the moment.

Funny, I was just looking around for a task/diary tool. Thanks to the commenters, I looked at Trello. So far, it's fits pretty well with my needs. And it's free (at least for 1 or 2 users)..

$150 on legal fees? What was that for, did you use some online templates to incorporate? I gather you're a solo startup?

I used Zazzle to create a couple of one-off hoodies for kids recently. The ship pretty fast, but aren't the cheapest. I'm in the US.

I second this process! The pen and paper get the creative juices flowing quickly.. I would also add that I found Smashing Magazine a great resource.

Thanks for sharing the experience. I went through the H1B visa process a number of years ago. Although it's pretty tough being treated like you did, I think you and possibly the offering company went into the arrangement without enough info

There are so many tools, websites and books out there at the moment. Firstly, I would recommend your start on HTML5/CSS3 instead of looking at older stuff. A very cool, high level site: http://diveintohtml5.info/ Smashing Magazine's websi

Looking forward to reading the blog. It'll do a lot of good to give the Aussie startup scene some exposure. We've just formed a team, with one founder based in Melbourne, Australia and me in Boston, US... Good luck!

Not sure how advanced you are, but as a relative noob, I've been reading, among others, the following sites: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/ http://uxmagazine.com/ Smashing has really good books, most if not all you can buy as ebooks.

I can't help you with the programming advice, but depending on where you are, there are tons of startup, entrepreneur blogs around that also have jobs boards. Here in Boston, I follow: http://venturefizz.com http://greenhornconnect.com

Well done for embarking on the entrepreneurs journey!! Might be useful if you all put your location down too. I'm sure you find many opportunities, folks are always looking for good technical co-founders...

Looking forward to the book. We're in the situation at the moment where we have a back-end founder working on our product and me (with no web design background) working on the front-end because I've always had interest in it. Being bootstra

I say get a job at a startup if you want to be eventually your own founder. There are a ton of really interesting startups hiring technical folks so you would have choice. I feel that rushing into a grad degree isn't necessarily going to be

Just playing with it just now. Very cool site, the sign-up is super easy and quick. And you just dive straight into the programming. This more hands-on approach I find better for learning than just watching online videos. Congrats to them f

Thanks Pierre for sharing your story. It proves that solo entrepreneurs can indeed succeed, as can bootstrapping! The insights on how you broke down your time were very valuable! You definitely serve as an inspiration to anyone look to that

I'm sort of in a similar situation, but now I've gotten a very strong technical co-founder onboard. Although I haven't coded in years, I've been in the IT industry for a long time now. Having read a ton of blogs about founding teams and fin

Looking forward to the article! Some questions I would ask: How about how you formed your founding team? How long it took you to release the product? Did you seek out advisors?
