The three of them form a triangle. Which side of the triangle is most important? This is not a magical thing. Id argue it is fairly mechanical. The biggest issue you'd face is fear. Focus first on conquering that.

That's a perfect way to put it. Teachers, students, general school staff don't really have money. Admins don't and won't give you time to pitch. I worked in an edtech product for years (as an employee) and met a lot of e

It has only been open source for a relative short amount of time when compared with other technologies like Node, RoR, etc. .Net has historically cost money while providing somewhat similar features as open source competitors. Its why MS wa

Yes, I've done it before. It wasn't a software product, but it applies. Had a client who had written a collection of really interesting books. They sold well given that the client is a world renowned scientist. The latest book sol

I also had a period of time where it all seemed like gibberish. What changed was a chat with Alexander Simovic (mapping expert). He laid out the following learning path (which worked excellent): 1. Read the book 2. Map your own systems (fro
