A little off-topic, but it makes me a little sad that the exemplar my_great_project it mentions is in JavaScript. It's not because of the language itself. It's because it's implied that the platform my_great_project would be built on is "Chrome, the new C runtime". This is the "platform of the future" and that makes me kinda sad. EDIT: clarified

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.

So is it just for web devs then?

I'm curious why this even mentions that no credit card is required to apply. Is it required later? Why mention it at all if it's not? Also, I use Ghostery and it blocks Google Analytics which seems to consequently block the click-through on your Apply button.

Notice the last checkbox in the application form: I'm willing to commit $30/mo to become a better developer.
