   This is brilliant. I've been looking for an explanation like this, which truly understands the perspective of a beginner. Thanks!

   Sure, as long as you're able to provide value to a company, you can get a job. I recently got a job at a startup as a frontend developer, after going through a 3 month coding bootcamp. I had been learning coding on my spare time a coup

   Great job! May I ask how much money you set off to do marketing before you launched?

   Thanks, I've been listening to The Talking Machines for a while. It's really good! http://www.thetalkingmachines.com/

   Awesome, this looks like a great plan! Quite a lot of setup, so I'll start during the weekend :)

   Awesome, thanks, I'll definitely test out that dataset! Btw, have you proceeded with any MOOC's after Andrew Ng's ML course? Anyone you'd like to recommend?

   Thanks a lot for all the advise! Using a library at first seems like a good idea. And then go deeper into the material as I learn the the practicalities, rather than doing it the other way around.

   I'll definitely continue on after next week. It's just meant as a kick start. This tutorial series seems like a good way to start with scikit-learn btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URTZ2jKCgBc&list=PLQVvvaa

    Thanks for the tips! I'm considering to use a dataset Bank of England has about households in England. As far as I understand, the data can be used for both prediction and classification. It has quite a lot of different features. Which

    Just realised that I mixed the courses up. The one I did was simply called "Machine Learning" and not "Intro to Machine Learning". Anyway, thanks for the tip, I'll check it out!

    Thanks for the feedback! It's very important to choose keywords that are strongly related to your app. However, that a very difficult task to solve with an app, so were sticking to give you an overview over how they are performing. It&

    We have no interest in using the keywords to anything other than giving you an overview over how they are preforming. Plus, you can easily scrape this info from the iTunes Search API if you query it for all the words in the english alphabet

    Hi, I'd recommend going more spesific with your keywords. And try to look for double keyword combinations you can rank high for. For example, even though you might rank low for both 'snake' and 'game', you will ran

    Very nice! I love how easy you have made it to start a new fiddle, eliminating the signup. I'm all in for less signup walls on the internet!

    I have thought about it. It's just a working title, we'll probably change it throughout the week to something more 'serious'. Any suggestions?

    It is! I will take your advice and do it. Almost every time I talk to potential customers I'm surprised over the amount of valuable info I get from the chat.

    Definitely! I'll look into this one.

    Not just to all coding bootcamps students, but to all coders/founders/creators. I've met very few who actually do it, spanning from amateurs to experienced developers.

    Sounds like an interesting problem to tackle. I'd be interested in getting in touch with your friend. Mind dropping me a mail? My email address is per@forlagetpropell.no.

    That's a good process! My personal pain-point in this is paying way too much rent for way too little. (However, that's just the supply/demand mechanisms doing its work). But also, the landlord aren't delivering what it p

    Yeah, Swapt too tried something similar, but seems like they are doing a pivot, or at least re-launching. http://www.swapt.com/ If you know this market well, I'd be very interested in getting in touch with you, for pos

    I was thinking about a 'Yelp for rental apartments', where people can rate their experience with various landlords. Hopefully it could make bad landlords provide a better service. But as you point out, it's such a huge task t
