I'm working on a new neural network based project, which means I'll need to access and store more data than I can keep on my hard drives.

While I'm familiar with AWS S3 from my day job, I was wondering what other alternatives are out there that may be cheaper (or even free)?

I'm also aware of dropbox, google docs, etc., but ideally I'd like to have programmatic access via an API.

A friend is a talented graphic designer, specializing in packaging, but after reading the latest "Design in Tech Report" wants to learn the tech behind web and mobile sites.

What are some good recommendations in that regard?

A friend is a graphic designer who specializes in print (e.g., product packaging) but wants to learn html and css to get into web design.

Which books and/or online resources would HN recommend for a person with a non-technical background?
