• Advices on making money online.

  If you want to build something instead, I suggest taking a look at indie hackers to see what other people are doing or using a tool like glimpse to find trends before they pop-off and build a solution to those things. Source: almost 3 years ago

• What job would be the best for someone just getting into Computer Science?

  The most valuable and impressive thing you can do is build a business. Hands down. Especially if it makes money. That will show you're not just a cog in the wheel but able to critically think and have valuable practical skillsets. I would experiment with something that has tailwinds. Like an AI business, or a VR business once the new apple VR app store comes out. you'd be shocked at how much you can make... Source: about 3 years ago

• I want to help entrepreneurs start successful businesses

  For example; trends.co is not very good because the people that write for them are journalists, not business owners so although the writing is good, the ideas are poorly researched. On the other hand, meetglimpse.com is pretty good, they have nuanced and unique business ideas that you can take advantage of but the market research behind it is a little lacking, their chrome extension tool is great tho. And then... Source: about 3 years ago

• What realistic online business could I start these days with 5000$

  a lot of things. I've built 3 online businesses that were profitable with under $1000. it's really just a hustle once you get product market fit. Starting something online shouldn't take that much money if you know how to test it. Check out like trends.vc, explodingideas.co, meetglimpse.com etc. They may be able to spark your creativity for ideas that could be good opportunities for the price point. Source: about 3 years ago

• Underrated/lesser known side hustles?

  Great idea. You should scrape ideas from meetglimpse.com, explodingideas.co, trends.co and the other sites that post ideas. Would be an easy way to bulk up the document. Source: about 3 years ago

• Featured Mod of the Month: Anita Olsen

  Anita: I have lifetime access to the subscription-based code-learning website, CodeCombat, where I enjoy learning Python and taking all the Game Development courses offered there. Those games I made were a part of the Game Development 1 and 2 courses (there is also a 3rd course) on CodeCombat. You code the games entirely on your own from scratch by the use of the knowledge you have gathered from the lessons in the... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• What can I do?

  So now, while you have time (yes you have no time now but when you are out of school working with a child and or no summer vacation you will have less time) you can try MIT Scratch or CodeCombat and learn to code. For you it's a long the goal is to make 1 app or a handful of apps in 4 years until you graduate. That's absolutely doable even for someone who knows 0 about coding. Then when you graduate, if you are... Source: over 2 years ago

• What Programming Languages are Best for Kids?

  You can also have a look on Erase All Kittens (quite interesting) and also Code Combat. Source: almost 3 years ago

• And DigTech teachers willing to share?

  Https://codecombat.com/ is REALLY good, the free levels have enough content for ~10 weeks for an intro to programming term. Source: about 3 years ago
