Hey all,

Throwing up a landing page for something I've been working on. I'm wondering where all of you normally go for images & artwork to use on a landing page? Something like Shutterstock?

Suggestions appreciated, thanks!

After my first submission a user suggested I try python/Django before I go any further with Ruby. Suffice it to say, I'm burning through learnpythonthehardway.org... I'm considering purchasing Django 1.0 Website Development written by Ayman Hourieh as the next step.

Before I pull the trigger, I am looking for some trusty HN opinions.

Thanks all.

So, I'm an idea guy with no means of attracting a quality tech founder. Yes I have a business degree, but I want more involvement. I want to UNDERSTAND the inner workings of my theoretical products inside and out (Or as best I can, to enhance productivity & communication).

I'm a little over a year out of college, and my 9-5 is slowly melting my brain. I am kicking myself for not majoring in CS.

My actions are the following: I want to build web apps, in order to hack together a pathetic prototype I have purchased Learn to Program by Chris Pine. It teaches the basics of Ruby, I am then planning on starting Rails with either;

--Ruby on Rails 3 Tutorial-- or --Agile Web development with Rails-- Opinions?

I have varying levels of PS, HTML, CSS, SEO experience.

I need to learn some Javascript. Material suggestions?

I seriously considered Python/Django, however the web apps that most closely resemble the itch I'm trying to scratch are hiring Rails developers, so that was the biggest deciding factor as both have great communities and my project is no tech marvel.

To name a few, spare time day dreaming at my 9-5 consists of: Steve Blank, Eric Ries, Four Steps to the Epiphany, Rework, Vinicius Vacanti, HN, Last but certainly not least, my main man PG

I am happy, excited, and most of all, hungry.

I more than welcome any constructive criticism this community may offer.
