and what makes you think that apple uses AWS? Considering they've invested billions in building data centers for themselves in NC and CA.. and they've building two new ones in EU, and one in OR. http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/the-apple-data-center-faq... https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2015/02/23Apple-to-Invest-1...


Those are yearly costs.

Hey Josh,

Here is a good link to a project that popped up on HN a while back http://www.bentobox.io , basically pick one of the topics and click toggle what to learn next, and it will show you a sort of progression.

As far as tutorials, just google the technologies name + for beginners or something similar. (there are also links to instructions in the site I posted)

As far as where to go for what it really depends on your end goal and who you're working with.

I.E. for web development, some people swear by Django or Rails or some PHP framework, all depending on their use case and the expertise of the people they're working with.

Figure out what you want to make, research what tool would be best to make it, then learn that tool and the languages/frameworks that compose it.

If you're just looking to make a basic web app, I would recommend using Sinatra (Ruby), Flask (Python), or Express(NodeJS). All provide a very simple configuration to get to the "Hello, world" point, however are extensible enough that you can use them to learn more advanced tools, technologies, etc.

If you want to chat more feel free to shoot me an email at martin@mgingras.ca

Cheers,

Martin


Thank you for your adivce, I will definitely email you some questions I have. I wanted to learn PHP but it was not recommended by other people.


http://www.hn-sentiment.com I wrote this for a hackathon over Christmas. Does sentiment analysis on an entered topic against hacker news posts and comments.


Heads up that it doesn't seem to work in IE11. Typed in "Chrome" and hit the button. Page refreshed, but nothing about the page changed except the text box was cleared.


I'm getting an error for an unterminated string literal - it looks like all the google analytics code isn't there.


Hey thanks, sorry somehow the js tracking code got messed up, should be working now.


Is there a search/filter? Can't spot it on mobile.


Currently there are categories but no search.


Johnnie Walker Blue Label is a scotch not a bourbon


It's also not exactly a great choice marketing-wise as far as good sounding scotches that would impress a scotch drinker...


These courses seem like a good way to expand one's experience however I don't think they should be used as a substitute for a formal education. Also with all the free/cheap resources available I don't understand how you can justify spending 8,000 - 20,000 dollars on this. There is no way you can expect to replace a four year degree with an 8-12 week crash course regardless of the length of the days.


I've seen this a few times, pardon my naivety, whats a c-bomb?
