If Color gains any initial traction at all in hopes of making a social graph, I wouldn't be surprised to see Facebook immediately going after it as well to cover their grounds. They have robust photo capabilities and strong mobile integrati

MIT is a national treasure because of this: http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm OpenCourseWare is absolutely amazing. I'm using it to study SICP and then will continue with K&R. I didn't go to MIT, but I'll always feel indebted to it because

Great write-up, thanks for sharing Dan. Reading about your experience reminds me of threewords.me a while back, how it just blew up and spread virally through HN and the rest of the startup ecosystem. It's one of the great things about ligh

Funny reading this post because the title pretty much describes what I'm doing, taking some time off to hone my programming chops and I originally came from a finance background. Looking back, if I had to suggest my own list to someone who'

Jim Clark, probably the greatest serial tech entrepreneur to date, was 37 when he started SGI, his first startup. And he outdid himself when he founded Netscape at the ripe age of 50.

Nice, I just ordered "The Narrow Road" on Amazon. Felix Dennis's "How to Get Rich" is one of the best business books I've ever read, I highly recommend it. Sometimes the startup world devises its own theories on what makes businesses succ

Great read and I think it's spot-on. It reminds me of this excellent essay by Charlie Munger (Buffett's partner in BRK), "The Art of Stockpicking": http://www.grahamanddoddsville.net/wordpress/Files/Gurus/Cha... In there, he stresses the

Interesting links... maybe the OP didn't mention biotech at all because it's not within his domain of expertise? And nowhere in there does he claim to be an ambitious technologist. I think this post does a great job at highlighting those st

Nice, I'd love to get into iphone apps sometime later on too. Yeah, I bet it is tough with a full-time job, which is why I'm so glad I'm taking time off to really focus on this while I still can at this age. Keep it up!

Oh yeah, I always hear great things about Django. Definitely want to try it out at some point. I'm just focusing on Ruby/PHP for now so as to not spread myself too thin.

I'm not judging Python. I'll definitely come back to it, but I'm just focused on Ruby and PHP for now. Ultimately, languages can always be picked up here and there, but what's most important are your problem solving skills and what you've b

Initially I started with Python because everyone told me it was the best intro to coding, which it was and I'm glad I did. But I want to be focused on the web, so I think it's important to know PHP (despite some people knocking it, it's sti

I'm about to start working through these 4 books Joel Spolsky recommends for any good programmer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/414779/what-should-a-self... SICP and K&R also happen to be up on that thread's list.
