Failed startup. Sales guy, learning to program, wants internship, any takers?
Long version - After three years of bootstrapping a b2b platform using contractors, I want to learn how to code.
I've completed several books and tutorials: - Pine's Learn to Program - Hartl's Rails Tutorial - Lynda's Rails 3 videos - Lynda's JQuery videos
And am working through Well-Grounded Rubyist, the RSpec book, Zed Shaw's Python the Hard Way and am also backfilling with the Pickaxe and a few older Rails books.
I've started building a few things (using github and heroku) to scratch my own itch but feel I could be learning more, better, faster while contributing if I was in with a team.
Details: - based in Berkeley, willing to go anywhere BARTable... - willing to work for free for 1-3 months - very excited and willing to learn, open to junior level employment opportunities after internship.
