Hi guys, I'm the Founder of Code4Startup. Even better, you can get the full source code of TaskRabbit clone for FREE at https://github.com/leotrieu/Code...
We're learning by cloning amazing Startups. So not just LEARNING, but BUILDING something REAL ^.^

@leotrieu Both current courses are free. What's pricing going to be like in the future?
@leotrieu Yeah check telescope first. Sacha does a really great job with it, and it wasn't a PH clone, he was developing it before PH was working on the website.
That said, creating a class on how to develop and launch it wouldn't be bad. His tutorials are good, but don't get as much under the hood as you'd want if you were learning it.
@jackrometty I completely agree. It's difficult to learn something without a purpose of learning it. A lot of people attempt to learn a language from scratch with no real purpose and that’s kind of how school works (in some ways I think the modern way of learning is flawed because of this). It's infinitely better to work on a project you are really excited about and to try to find the right tools to build it.

Also known as the "Rocket Internet Simulator" :)

I'm attending a code bootcamp right now and this seems like a great resource for students.
@leotrieu a ton of students already on koding.com. Our "playground" cloud environments could be amazing for beginners as they learn via your content. No need to install anything on localhost and all required software is installed on the VM! We should chat if you're interested in digging into this more.
This is a fantastic idea. As a developer, I constantly encourage my friends to learn to code (I usually point them to Codecadey, Dash, TryRuby and the Rails Girls guides). They usually get through the introductory stuff really quickly but always ask "what am I supposed to do with this?"
The problem is not teaching people about if statements or what classes are. It's getting them to do the other 90% of development, which is taking a bunch of disparate pieces and putting them together into something real.
@danruswick That exactly the reason why C4S was born. We're just 2 month old startup and a lot of thing need to be improved but on top of that, we promise to our students with something cool, something real, something they love at the end of the course.
And of course, we encourage people to start their own business up. It's not easy but it is worth creating your journey. It can be for a serious career or just for fun.
Great concept ! This could be a really valuable source for non coding Startup founders - to learn what technologies are currently being used in different products and have a better idea of where to start.

@seanomiller this is one area I definitely struggle with. I don't want to learn how to code, but have an idea a day that could get spun up really quickly, if only i had a way. I am dangerous to tweak things once they are in place.
@dswiese I understand, I'm a non coding founder and I've had to take the time to find out what sorts of technologies power products out there. Once they are up, its game on! Luckily I now have my own dev team.
