Are there some programming tutors around Boston?

If so, I'd really appreciate an invite!

I use freshdrop.net too. There are a lot of domain names on there so here's a good filter:

  * exclude all but .com
  * exclude hyphens and numbers
  * set char limit to 12
  * click "Geo" at the top of the page

results right now: tipolo.com, treeville.com, umoru.com, etc

This advice is spot on. I read a lot of books before I realized I wasn't really challenging myself.

Actually putting something into practice will require hours of frustration every day, but it will lead to actual learning.

Pick one project to work on, and no matter what: stick with it.

Codepad doesn't support PHP, but this does, which is really nice because I happen to be learning PHP.

It does? http://codepad.org/bsAADG6v

um, wow, how did i miss that??
