Mohamed - I would recommend learning about basic software engineering practices but NOT building your own app. It takes years to become good enough to do that successfully. Instead, learn how to hire and manage developers, especially overseas developers on upwork.com (formerly odesk), how to share equity (read Slicing Pie book) and most of all how to design the user experience, and market yourself to investors (creat…

#168Wow, 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. What kind of computer do you use - Windows, Mac, Linux? I'd like to give you some suggestions for programming tools (mostly free, some you might pay for), but of course the details will…
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?
Re: Tell HN: Hello
#169Awesome man!! Your humility just inspires me. Ping me (@vjdhama) if you need any kind of help with coding or any aspect of learning for that matter. I'd be more than happy to lend out a hand.
