As to web dev, different people tend to use very different tools to build something looked exactly the same for end-users. Very Often, it depends heavily on what language you use, java, php, ruby, python...? I love Ruby on Rails.

I am doing free education in China, and I fund myself. Right action has its own reward.

I actually gave up my MS degree, and saved quit a bit time to learn sth useful. 3 years after that, I want to say, it was a nice decision. I do not need a degree anyway.

If I know steve, he is a buddist. If one know buddism, he should not work for the world. If steve really worked till his last moment, he tried his best to enjoy his own life, and his life is a nature harmony, a beautiful flower. Being a flo

Voice from a educator from China! You are right, but we are trying hard to change this. First thing I want my students to do is to forget about their scores. Actually, I really want to go one step further, and suggest giving up their degree

It is just too obvious that saving lives are more important than making a product prettier. However, I think the best way to less evil for this world is not always that sending your money to Africa, but rather that everybody should work har

RailsCasts is awesome, I owe so much more then $9 per month to it. But here in China, many young students will still think it is too much...bad bad bad, anybody can do a less pro one, and make it free?

Yes, the web has really changed how education can be done. We have google, we have wikipedia... accessing knowledge has never been easier. I work since last year as a trainer, my passion is letting young college students be educated in a wh

I will always applaud for those who say education system sucks. I think school education keep us away from the real, real enjoyment of beauty, real work that creates real value for the people we love.

Thanks for building a low cost alternative. Here is my advice. What github looks charming to me is the wonderful service for free plan users. I think this is wise, build a huge audience, and then "out-teach" them to be their potential custo

refreshing article, I love it. I am from mainland China, a country boy actually. but I love a bit of uncertainty out of my life. anyway, we are mortal, no one going to secure you out of death. So what can you lose?

I love git, and use it to backup my life. Very interesting to know that you will still be able to checkout what you do today many years later. CVS can do this as well, it is just not so attractive being much slower.
