Thanks for hosting it on Github, Jeff. Waiting for more examples though (esp. for EC2).

Also, the chording behavior has a timeout between keypresses. So if you type "a" & "s" quickly (intending them to be separate), it is interpreted as a single "as" chord. You have to wait a bit after each keyup.

In App Purchases.

https://github.com/sgentle/phantomjs-node is pretty good for most tasks.

Can you put a link to the actual github page on this page (for the lazy).

Ed (http://mycloudwatcher.com/) has basically been doing this for a number of years. He provides a valuable service to clients. Clients trust him. Clients have other needs & ask him if he knows anyone who can do X (mobile, Node.js, art, writing, etc...). He refers and vouches for freelancers (and he has fill-in-the-blank forms for everything & everybody).

Ed is probably the closest example of this idea I've seen; recruiters don't make as much money from freelance referrals so if they do this at all, it would be sparing.

Cool idea though. I'd be interested to see if it works out in an explicit fashion as OP describes.

Lack's usefulness continues to surprise me (http://wiki.eth-0.nl/index.php/LackRack).

I will make transcripts available to anyone who isn't able to attend in person - just leave me a note by email[1] so I know who to send it to.

[1] Email is in profile.

It is up for me.

transloadit appears to fall back to other languages for systems they probably aren't confident enough to use Node.js for (ex. payment processing)

What kind of things do you need help with? Administration? Usage?

Lots of options: PintPay, Recurly, Chargify, etc.

Contact Pascale Dianine via http://twitter.com/pascale. Feel free to tell her that Van Nguyen sent you, if not, no worries - she asked me to send people doing fashion related startups her way.

They're based in Europe but have a tiny outpost in SF.

Orange labs is very interested in the space.

For "Switch statements don’t allow you to fall-through to the next case", you can combine multiple cases:

when "a", "b" then doStuff()

For me, the AT&T discount paid for the annual membership cost. I may have a few invites still available - hit up my profile email.

Pretty cool tool. This would not be as useful to someone doing design work that requires color accuracy though :-\.

Thanks for the exposure and the upvotes! The course will be highly opinionated. Most of the exercises are focused around practical applications of Node.js - feedback has indicated that students HATE contrived problem sets.

Hello World does what you think PLUS tweets about it. Students have to build a chat + Twilio web app, webcrawler/parser, a basic platform scroller game, and (if time permits) a video streaming/sharing web app.

Yay, congrats guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SendGrid also has their Parse API which handles parsing inbound email.

Have you read Crossing the Chasm? Going directly from nothing to "standard consumer" is rough and doesn't typically happen. Your first users have to be more open to new things (making them early adopters). The average consumer won't try things their friends aren't already using.

The fee also helps cover for the costs of food and the space. The fee was small considering the value I got from just the first week.

I loved the program (second class). It is highly competitive for business people though.

Helps if you get referrals from previous founders /nudge!

You can also use CoffeeScript to get more "traditional" OOP from JavaScript.

It looks like Nicholas handed off the open-source version to Patrick to maintain and extend.

With the difference in rent for live/work places in say the Mission and other more central neighborhoods, you could all get bikes for easy access to Caltrain and still have a lot left over.

Sorry, I kinda rushed that comment. Yeah, Rackspace is cheaper on the smaller scale / low end.

Thanks for sharing. I know a lot of people who are burnt out by WoW and it hasn't been fun for them in a long time.
