"I think it's still impressive. No one in their right mind would implement a full-fledged game this way but as a demo of what can be done with the most basic of web components it's impressive."

"I'm down to help teach you but think you need to learn to take the ribbing from your friends! Part of learning from others who know better than you is dealing with them poking fun at you, just roll with the punches and mock them back for not being excellent teachers!"

"I agree with what you said here but it is unfair comparing WordPress to RoR/Django via Google Trends. How many non-programmers are going to google RoR/Django? Now, how many non-programmers are going to google WP? A TON. WP is great for getting a quick prototype up & running but at some point you're probably going to want to rewrite it. A better search would be RoR/Django vs CakePHP/CodeIgnitor/Yii...and those trends show RoR/Django in the lead."

"Virgin Mobile yo! Unlimited texting, data ( web, email, etc. ), 3G, & 300 minutes for $25 / month. 300 minutes is more than enough for me, all I really need/want is internet in my pocket, though unlimited texting & 300 minutes is a nice bonus. They run on Sprint so if you're in a large city chances are you'll get good coverage. I'm in Boston and in the Boston area ( Cambridge, Brookline, Somerville, Quincy, Boston, etc. ) reception/coverage is great. If I get too far from the city 3G becomes spotty but I so rarely leave the immediate Boston area that it's not a big deal for me. Really hope these types of plans catch on with the big carriers. While my LG Optimus V is rock-solid for now, it's not top of the line and at some point I'll no doubt get tech-lust. Already starting to feel it a little because Firefox 4 beta isn't compatible but at the end of the day it's a small price to pay for paying $50+ less per month. Porting my number in from t-mobile was super quick ( less than 24 hours..."

"Build a simple site from scratch. That's the best way to learn. The site doesn't matter, the process does. Start with HTML & CSS. Build something non-interactive and simple. Something with a header area with navigation, a content area and a footer. Simple & easy, you're only doing this to learn the basics. Then, add some slight interaction to it. It could be a voting system or a login system, anything that'll require using a dev language ( PHP, Python ) and a database ( MySQL). The idea doesn't matter, just pick something and start building."

"Honestly, unless you truly do have a once in a lifetime type idea no one is going to steal it. Chances are your idea is already out there and someone already did it, just poorly enough that it didn't gain traction. I get dozens of ideas daily for new web apps/sites, but none of them take off because I don't have the time to a) build them and more importantly b) market them. Getting users is really, really difficult which is a good and bad thing for you. Bad because it's going to be tough going gaining traction but good because it lowers the chances someone will steal your idea. Like others have said the idea doesn't really matter, it's all about the execution. Having said all that, expect to pay $50-$150 per hour depending on language used ( PHP, Ruby, & Python will likely be cheaper than something more obscure ). Personally, if you came to me with a unique web app idea I'd be pumped about getting paid the $5,000-$50,000 to build it and be super pleased to then hand it off to you to..."

"Next time don't bring it up but rather mention that you'll build the site using a CMS which will allow them to easily add/edit/delete content without having to muck about with code. Sell the CMS as a feature, not as something that they may or may not need."

"If Linode sounds good but managing the server sounds like too much we might be able to work something out. We run a server farm off Linode and could either add you to that farm or setup a standalone Linode for you. If that sounds good PM me, we don't have an auto-order system up yet. If you'd rather use a company with auto-setup etc., check out page.ly."
