Wow, Mohamed, this is great. I'm glad I stayed up late enough tonight to see your post. Please feel free to give me a shout via the email address in my profile - I'd be more than happy to kick around any ideas to help you get started.

I am glad to have witnessed someone like you who's so generous of their time, and knowledge. Sir, thank you.

OS - Windows. Saving for a Macbook (too expensive). I am already on Udacity's Intro to Computer Science and Python is used to teach this course. Plus going through Learn Python the Hardway by Zed Shaw. Taking a Ruby course on Udemy.

IDE - I use Sublime Text for front-end development lessons (team treehouse, udemy), and Cloud9 for the Ruby course I am taking through Udemy.

So much to learn! What is your email?
