I'm writing a SQL tutorial for a bunch of marketing friends. I'd like for them to code as they go.

They've told me that I'll lose them if I ask them to set up SQLite, MySQL, etc. on their laptops. So, I’d like to use a web-based interactive console like that on W3schools (http://www.w3schools.com/sql/trysql.asp?filename=trysql_select_all) with my own data. Basically load up some tables and point the users to the interface. Is anyone aware of this functionality or how to roll our own?

Thank you.

Good morning. For streaming, I mostly use Netflix. When a selection is not available I look at other services starting with Amazon Prime. This can take a long time and not arrive at the best choice (e.g. i found it for sale on Prime but it was free on Hulu). I'm looking for a service or a way that shows content and details (e.g. is it free with my membership?) across different providers, even those that i don't subscribe (e.g. Hulu). Is something like this available? If not, any suggestions (e.g. consolidate each providers api in one interface)?

Hello. My interests and livlihood involves working with data - accessing, analyzing, etc. - to improve the organizations of where I work. I'm coming across 2 particular problems:

1. Difficult to stay up to date on all things related to data & analysis. Hitting a bunch of sites and feeds is not very effective. 2. Keeping track of data/analytic resources in one place. I'm talking things like databases/software, tutorials, methods, case studies, and books. I like tracking these things for reference and to help others.

Proposed solution: a website with 2 initial parts: 1. a digg/hacker news/reddit part where users can submit links and vote them up or down. Could possibly include comments and an Ask HN equivalent. 2. an organized list of resources. People could submit their favorites.

What do you think... 1. Is there a need? Would you use this? 2. I'm thinking of creating a minimum viable product with WordPress on a shared server since I have limited web dev skills, limited budget, and trying to launch sooner than later. Is this stupid? If so, which part - WP, shared server, or both? 3. Having people submit links is good but this would need moderation, especially comments. Would you skip this? Maybe take an approach like R - Blogger where posts from other authors are automatically submitted based on key words AND comments are turned off.

Thank you - Brian

Besides HN, what other websites, magazines, etc. to you consistently view? Thank you.
