CHIP-8 is pretty fun! Here's one I made in JavaScript w/ debugger: http://greatcodeclub.github.io/chip8/ Code: https://github.com/greatcodeclub/chip8

Pretty sure. The instruction layout is also inspired by Lua: https://github.com/svaarala/duktape/blob/master/src/duk_js_b... Here's Lua: https://github.com/lua/lua/blob/master/src/…

When I was getting started with Thin (the Ruby web server), Ezra sent the first few patches, talked about it at confs, used it at his company and helped me debug it on IRC for hour…

Empty file yes. But do you start with an empty/blank project?

It should be launching next week or the next week after that at the latest. Yes, I will limit the size of the community. The goal is to get a core group of very passionate people f…

Not at all what I had in mind. I want this to be a community and not a course. But to get there we have to start somewhere. And I know people can bond and form a community better i…

It will start as a curated program. But my hope is to make it evolve to be both. A place to get knowledge, inspiration and motivation. And then a place to get help and support maki…

Mostly what the site says: http://www.greatcodeclub.com/#content - Screencasts presenting the project, giving the basics and showing solutions. - Code to get started, full projects…

Sort of... but in the bar I'd be there teaching music, how to compose a song and helping you find people to practice and perhaps create your own songs. Everyone will be working the…

I have ideas for the first few projects. I'll try to have very diverse ones. This is not 100% decided atm, but the first project will probably be to implement a HTML5 Canvas game. …

It's for experienced developers who want to code on cool projects on the side. I will be producing screencasts, articles and supporting ppl in the club. I think there's a value to …

Not fixed on the price yet. But yes, most probably.

Not at all. But I'm assuming some knowledge of web development. For example, one project will be to code an HTML5 game, but you can choose to implement it in C or Java. You'll need…

I'm the creator of the club. Happy to answer any questions about this. I'm just getting started with this so feedback is very much appreciated :)

I guess it's safe to say that most web dev know JavaScript. That's why I chose to use it as an example and will also use it to present projects in the club.

Damnit! Just disabled GA tracking. Thanks for spotting that. There will be a monthly fee to join. I'll try to make it clearer on the page, sorry about that. This is my business, I …

Very cool! But maintaining all those regular expressions will soon be a pain. You need a real lexer and parser :)

I was in a similar position about two years ago. And was determined to bootstrap a "lifestyle" business that would provide income with the specific restriction of not doing consult…

Wow! OK. I'm the author of this book and I have no idea how it ended up there. Here's the full product: http://copywritingforgeeks.com/ I don't mind that much if ppl just share the…

Yes! At some point I hope to offer non-Rails versions of the themes. But the focus now is to make more themes.

Ooops! It's back.

Very good point! You are totally right. I did hit hard about those points in the emails I sent before launch and they have been very successful. But not on the site yet. Will do th…
