alarmist

I am a college student in North Jersey, and I have - what I consider to be... - a pretty good idea for a startup. My issue, however, is that I can't find a single kid in the area who knows squat about rails or php.

I don't know very much about either language enough to make a real workable product, and since I am in school, I don't have the money to hire a free lancer, so I'm not really sure what to do. Aside from learning how to program, which I have been doing in every free second I have, and emailing every professor in the CompSci department, which turned up no leads, what options am I left with?
