4 more.........
Thanks
Word.
People still don't get it yet.
Programming + A Good Idea = Millions
javascript, actionScript and html work for animations and interactive web pages where you can pull information from a database, Python is an actual Object Oriented Programming language , with no limits on the type of programs you can write. And it's scalable meaning once you write your first program you can later expand it to do more things.
I know of it and am signing up to start learning to develop, thx.
javascript, actionScript and html work for animations and interactive web pages where you can pull information from a database - LIKE MICROSOFT ACCESS? I don't know shit about programming, but I'm about to learn something...

MICROSOFT ACCESS isn't practical for web pages even on an expensive dedicated web server, look into Microsoft-SQL or the free mySQL, among others.
gonna have to see what javascript stuff they got
thanks
good too know
Where are you doing the javascript?
Check out node.js also
http://www.codecademy.com and i got a pdf version of beginning javascript 4th edition that i've been usin too

Just signed up....been looking to learn Python for the longest.
The greats where learning this when they were 8.. and creating facebooks at 19 20. I'm a dinosaur by those standards
Man I signed up for this bullshit

Learn to Program: The Fundamentals
Next session: 24 September 2012
Workload: 6-8 hours/week
Learn to Program: The Fundamentals
Jennifer Campbell, Paul Gries
Behind every mouse click and touch-screen tap, there is a computer program that makes things happen. This course introduces the fundamental building blocks of programming and teaches you how to write fun and useful programs using the Python language.
About the Course
A computer program is a set of instructions for a computer to follow, just as a recipe is a set of instructions for a chef. Laptops, kitchen appliances, MP3 players, and many other electronic devices all run computer programs. Programs have been written to manipulate sound and video, write poetry, run banking systems, predict the weather, and analyze athletic performance. This course is intended for people who have never seen a computer program. It will give you a better understanding of how computer applications work and teach you how to write your own applications. More importantly, you’ll start to learn computational thinking, which is a fundamental approach to solving real-world problems. Computer programming languages share common fundamental concepts, and this course will introduce you to those concepts using the Python programming language. By the end of this course, you will be able to write your own programs to process data from the web and create interactive text-based games.
Recommended Background
This course assumes no particular background.
Course Format
The class consists of 1 to 2 hours of lecture each week, which are made up of videos that are generally shorter than 10 minutes each. Each video contains integrated quiz questions. There are also weekly standalone exercises that are not part of the video lectures and a (non-optional) final exam.
FAQ
Will I get a certificate after completing this class?
Yes. Students who successfully complete the class will receive a certificate signed by the instructor.
Can I really do this course if I don’t know anything about programming?
Yes! We expect this course to be taken by people completely new to programming.
Is there a textbook?
No. This online course is intended to be self-contained.
What resources will I need for this class?
We use the freely-available Python 3 and the IDLE development environment (which comes with Python 3). The download is available here: http://www.python.org/download/. Download the most recent release of Python 3.
What is the coolest thing I'll learn if I take this class?
You will be able to develop interactive text-based programs such as a word search game.

An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python
Joe Warren, Scott Rixner, John Greiner, Stephen Wong
Rice University
https://www.coursera.org/course/interactivepython
This course is designed to be a fun introduction to the basics of programming in Python. Our main focus will be on building simple interactive games such as Pong, Blackjack and Asteroids.

Next session: Oct 15th 2012 (8 weeks long)
Workload: 7-9 hours/week
Computer Science: Programming & Software Engineering
About the Course
This course is designed to help students with very little or no computing background learn the basics of building simple interactive applications. Our language of choice, Python, is an easy-to learn, high-level computer language that is used in many of the computational courses offered on Coursera. To make learning Python easy, we have developed a new browser-based programming environment that makes developing interactive applications in Python simple. These applications will involve windows whose contents are graphical and respond to buttons, the keyboard and the mouse.
The primary method for learning the course material will be to work through multiple "mini-projects" in Python. To make this class enjoyable, these projects will include building fun games such as Pong, Blackjack, and Asteroids. When you’ve finished our course, we can’t promise that you will be a professional programmer, but we think that you will learn a lot about programming in Python and have fun while you’re doing it.
About the Instructor(s)
Joe Warren, Professor, Department of Computer Science
Joe Warren is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Rice University. His main area of research interest is computer graphics and geometric modeling, where he has published extensively. He is the author of the book Subdivision Methods for Geometric Design. He also has a love for computer gaming, both playing games and teaching students how to build them. He has taught the Department’s introduction to game creation course as well as its senior-level game design course in collaboration with Houston game professionals for over a decade. Joe was an undergraduate at Rice from 1979-1983 and received his Ph.D. from Cornell in 1986. He has been a professor at Rice ever since and currently serves as the Chair of the Department...
Course Syllabus
Our course syllabus can be seen at www.codeskulptor.org/coursera/syllabus.html.
Recommended Background
High school mathematics
Course Format
Our course will last eight weeks. The lectures from each week will focus on the topics listed below while an associated weekly “mini- project” will serve to reinforce these concepts in practice. With the exception of the first week’s project, these mini-projects will be peer-assessed. The class will also include simple supplemental programming exercises.
FAQ
Will I get a certificate after completing this class?
Rice University does not award certificates or issue transcripts or other credentials for student work in this course. However, Coursera will maintain limited data regarding student progress and performance in this course and, with your permission, provide authorized third parties with access to such data.
What resources will I need for this class?
The only requirement for the class is access to a modern web browser. All coding and program development will be done in a web-based programming environment that supports building interactive applications in Python. The programs that you create will be saved, shared and graded via the cloud.
What is the coolest thing I'll learn if I take this class?
You’ll be able to build your own games in Python.

I'm all for folks picking up valuable skills, but let's keep it real. You can have all the good ideas you want, but unless you can separate yourself from the other 200 people/biz's trying to occupy the same space it will be tough sledding.
I was going to say a good ORIGINAL idea, but you don't even have to be original, you really just have to have a unique twist of something that's already out there and enough of a buzz to drive a demand towards your service.
For cats who are already in the IT/Programming field. I recommend looking at the Scala course on Coursera. Functional Programming Principles in Scala
I SIGNED UP. I'm taking the "How to Build A Start Up Now" let's get it.
