I'm learning to program for a few months now (I'm 16) I did quite a bit of research into what language to learn first. In the end I chose Python, it's easy to use, simple to unders…

Only continue if you are doing something different or better than your competitors. Obviously if you are just mimicking what they gave already created, that's no good but if you ca…

Great, thanks for your advice, it looks like a great book with lots of top exercises.

Personally I would really focus the ability to know when your email has been read, there are many analytics software providers that give you far more detailed statistics than your …

Thanks for your advice, yes I have asked questions on Stack Overflow and found the response to be excellent, and I plan to use it in the future. But with a mentor you can ask more …

Thanks, mark@theopenalgorithm.com, send your profile links.

I have been learning to program for a couple of months outside school using some great online resources including MIT Open CourseWare and the O'Reilly School's Python course. I hav…

From what I know about Stripe they are purely making it easier for developers to accept payments and as far as I know they aren't looking at developing technology aiding the sendin…

I have a section on my desk for all my scraps of paper, I prefer paper, because it is physically in front of you reminding you of your ideas and to take action on them. Plus writin…

I know from experience that most people don't know the key combos to open in their chosen windows. I always use Ctrl + T, but when I'm demonstrating something or somebody is watchi…

Stick with your niche, social networks and the ability to sell on them should be your unique selling point. There are many other service providers for selling digital goods via you…

Well we know Google can classify what spam sites are. And assuming they could (despite your arguments against) determine the method of monetization on a site, then simply compare t…

Thanks for your response, is the data you are viewing publicly available?

Second that, Bluehost is great and support are very helpful. For content based sites like mine it works just fine, haven't had experience running anything major or any major traffi…

I'd prefer to read an appreciative post about a positive and helpful change than somebody bashing HN or any other site (which rarely happens). Personally I always have about ten ta…

Don't have Android but the product information page looks great, very clever idea and great use of a weekend!

What about a high school student willing to take the 18 months off to work on their start-up and dependant on success leave school for good. In Ireland its free high school and col…

I have received many compliments about my writing now but I can tell you that two years ago my writing sucked. Since then I have written hundreds of articles, a 270 page book and h…

The best way to get the best publicity is to have an incredible product that people need to hear about. But failing that or having a less revolutionary product, I would highly reco…

Instead of looking for a typical outsourcing company, why not look for a blogger or forum member (stack overflow or HN) that answers questions/writes tutorials on the topic you are…

Why not do some of your own projects and build something cool. Just think about what you would want (maybe for a hobby or interest) or what other users would want, build and either…

I agree but don't you think that from an algorithmic point of view Google would be better looking at what the user wants and what monetization models they prefer to see versus the …
