I think you should sanitize your input fields. Code Igniter has built in functions for XSS http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/input.h....

$var = $this->input->post('some_data', TRUE);

There isn't a reason why you can't work work/go to school while putting a portfolio together. I think if you're going back to school you need to have specific reasons i.e. it will definitely increase your salary or allow you to move up in management. In my opinion school is overrated.

I don't think it's possible. Just put 30 hours into the startup on the weekend and try not to work on it too much during the week.

It looks cool but I think it needs a landing page that explains what it does and how I'm supposed to use it.

The overview is what you should be learning but 3k is way way too much. Every topic they are covering can be found on google or a decent book from Amazon. I suggest buying a cheap hostmonster account and learning some PHP. This tutorial is pretty good http://devzone.zend.com/6/php-101-php-for-the-absolute-begin...

Don't just focus on front end skills and think you don't have to learn how it works on the backend because a frontend is just something to look at it if doesn't have the server side component.

Why do you need a co-founder? I'm assuming you're looking for a technical person based on your summary. You should learn to code. It's not nearly as hard as people think and it gives you one of the two skills a technical person is looking for in a partner. The other skill is the ability to raise money. Just my 2 cents.

Just fyi that the screenshot on the github page has the word 'nigga' on there from someones comment.

If you code all of the time and it's something you enjoy I'm not sure a CS degree is right for you. I was CS and I switched to music because assembly and calculus didn't seem relevant to anything I wanted to build. If you work hard and build projects and put a little effort into learning the CS concepts on your own you will have no problem finding a job. You better be able to code though if you're not going to have that CS line item on your resume. I'm saying you need 5 years experience building things to be qualified most places.

I can't see you up there your horse is too high. If you think that there is no place for PHP or Java or .Net in the modern web development world then you must not get out much. Rails and Node are great for some things. Smaller things. But I don't think they come anywhere close to filling all of the gaps in the web development world. Not everything is a startup and a lot of people would like to be able to work on their software 5 years down the road when node is a thing of the past.
