Programming site
So it’s been 6 months since I first started programming. I now know c, c++, java, mysql, php, ruby on rails, xml, a little python and some server side management crap. I can learn a new programming language in less than three days and I feel like I can make a small web company in like a week. Yet I still see so many people missing programmers. People who need programming interns and such. Is the barrier to entry really that high? Or do people just want the easy way out by delegating some poor intern for every bug fix. That must be the shittiest job ever by the way. It is so much harder to look at someone else’s code and try to fix it than to create one yourself. Those interns should be paid more than lead developers in my opinion.
I think someone should build a step by step programming site. This’ll be one of my future side projects if no one explores it. Coming up spring break hopefully. Along with Jess’s and my new project. Life’s a lot more exciting once I got into college.

I just started learning Java and Actionscript 3.0 in the last month or so and am making decent progress, so I know where you’re coming from.
A good site devoted to not only programming basics (OOP, variables and data types, methods, control flow, etc.) but one that also shows you what you can do with the languages you learn would be really helpful.
There are plenty of advanced “design pattern” books out there, but most sites devoted to programming don’t really cover how you can combine “building block” code (for example a random number generator with a simple GUI) into a complete but straightforward application and have it all work cohesively.
Lots of ego. Hope you guys do something interesting.
