Over the course of the past few months, my friend Dan (http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=theli0nheart) and I have been talking about launching a website that would help aspiring programmers learn how to code. There are a ton of resources out there already, but it’s so confusing to a newbie that it’s almost impossible to make a solid start without someone walking you through the process.

Dan's an experienced hacker. I'm not, and during the process of my first startup, I realized how much more valuable I'd be if I knew how to program - even if my focus was biz-dev and marketing.

We came up with the idea to build a website where he'd post videos and notes that would teach me to code from scratch. Along the way, I'd blog about my experiences so new programmers could follow along. The big goal is to foster a community for people who are interested in learning how to hack, share resources, and meet each other.

It will be a fun project and we're excited to see where it takes us. Hopefully you'll all join in and make it better than just we could all by ourselves. We have a landing page set up and would love you to check it out and leave your email.

Feedback and advice are really appreciated! Here's the link again - http://howtoprogram.tv.
