   I'm 37 , unemployed and took up 'coding' as a means to pull myself out of what by U.S. standards is poverty. No healthcare and I live basically in a hole in the wall of this ladies trailer. I don't know how you can becom

   In a more Silicon Vally context I think it would be more appropriate to do it to Mark Zuckerbergs house instead. Out of his 3 billion I'm sure it would be a drop in the bucket to help get those people on their feet.

   I agree ( obviously) but as a side point it's my experience that these ( audio ) schools don't teach 'art'. They teach basic technical application. If individual students then want to apply what they learn to their (or s

   Thanks for pointing this out. It's useful. I know that some of these code bootcamps basically have deals with larger companies and get paid to serve as a filter mechanism for them. Not sure if that would work with the entertainment asp

    It's very scattered. I dipped into the ring when I put together wikiaudio ..... but it never worked out. Socialsounddesign.com hasn't been mentioned so there's another one for you.

    If you are into audio stuff you can do what I did and learn Javascript within the context of building little sound generators and audio file sample trigger players. I now understand a good amount of DOM manipulation,CSS,semantic HTML and Ja

    I think it's a question as to whether someone who has a degree of expertise has any reason to be motivated by money when the payments are so small. In a weird way I think software engineers would be doing the internet a service by acce

    I'm working on a very simple and inane tool that block diagrams my code with cables so I can write programs visually. It doesn't compile or run any of it, it's just a visual tool. It's a mashup of two JQuery libraries: JsPlumb and Jquery TE

    I take st johns wart mixed with 5-htp coupled with a 40 minute walk every day (or more exercise) to help mediate those kinds of thoughts. I don't know your situation but hopefully that can help.
