iTunes U - it has great resources from many top Us - not just classroom material, but great talks, etc. Be sure to checkout Stanford's Entrepreneurship section! Also, research channel (also on iTunes) exposes some incredible academia work -

The question is just an example, the underlying subtle notion is that what can an entrepreneur cook up with limited resources? Of course, you can ask them an intelligent question in any variety of ways - you can ask Jobs what can Apple desi

I love this already - just the right mix of examples and agile learning. Perfect! Thanks!

Quite true really - but since I am rather new and ignorant to the various language religiosity, it's good to know that Java is indeed a very versatile language, but, only if used for the right job. Yes, quite true that many complaints arise

The showmedo was pretty good; also thumbs for the disqus one, seeing they have been Django substantially!

Of course not! I suppose I must have meant from the ground up :) Yet still amazed that caught more attention than anything else.

Satchmo's pretty cool. And just fyi to other new pythonistas(?) - the new o'reilly book Learning Python is good, but thought it was a bit too long and expensive; the online tutorials fare very well indeed :)

Python was such fresh air that I felt Java was bloatware; no offense to Java, but I really loved the agile development with python that I downplayed java.

The thing is that technology is only a means, so ask a real question such as: What "can" you design under $1 that solves a major problem in the world? Example answer: packets of salt and sugar is all it takes to prevent/solve dehydration in

IGNORE every advice out there including this, but do learn to LISTEN without jumping to conclusions - ironically, nature works in such a way that a good listener is considered exponentially nice already :) Oh, one more thing, if you learn a

Well, again, look for everyday pains. If there is something on some of your customers' minds when they wake up, find that something and solve that for them, so they have one less thing to worry about. Really that's what even Google says AND

Nice advice about the notes. Best way to find problems is pains - find a big pain (if you have pain, that's all you can think about - think tooth aches, punctured tires - "burning" problems) for your customers and deliver a tylenol, not a v

A flip side of the same question: a doctoral friend of mine recommended that if one were to really get something out of grad school heavy-lifting and still learn critical thinking business skills, go for a PhD in any management science or e

Haha, Bezos' fan thanking him for Gmail or something lost in translation was the defining moment; although Bezos' AWS pitching to the ground made me groan. Definitely, Hansson's was better; who'd have thought charging your customers wasn't
