I find by far the best way to learn git is actually walking through it with someone who knows, and asking absolutely every question that comes to your mind--force them to break it down. Email me at mrjordangoldstein@gmail.com if you want to

Yes, but that assumes intelligent investors willing and capable of analyzing for long term profits. Research science often incurs short (or even long) term loss for an eventual extreme gain. There will be many failures and lots of money sp

Also, if you're going to make webapps, you'll need more then HTML, CSS, and JS. You'll need a framework (well, need being a relative word) for database storage and the like. Many exist (Django for Python, Rails and Sinatra for Ruby, etc), b
