I'm a beginner when it comes to programming. Are their any good resources for me to link into, I want to learn Ruby On Rails, and want to ask you guys for advice, and how I should get started.

Thanks!

My old laptop is starting to close its doors on me, so it's time for me to get a new one.

Sadly, I'm on a low budget (-$400), if their are any good laptops out there that you would recommend that are under my budget, please post below.

I would love your recommendations, and opinions!

Hey guys!

I have a good friend of mine that owns a factory that creates custom stickers, signs, etc. If you are planning on creating some good cheap marketing material, please feel free to add some description in the comments below, or email me!

If you want a pack of 100 stickers with your company logo on it, or something, add it in below, or if you want a different variety of stickers of different start-ups add that in also.

A lot of (young) people ask me where I learned HTML/CSS, and front end web development. I tell them to check out W3schools or tizag.com, but they often ask me if theirs an easier way, and something (not-so-boring).

So I asked myself whats a better spot than HN to ask this question?

Where did you guys learn basic (and moderate) Web Development? How did you guys practice programming? (Create websites, watch tutorials on Youtube, etc)

It will be interesting to learn from the community itself.

I'm a part-time freelancer, looking for some small work, I'm trying to extend my knowledge in design and illustrator.

If you're looking for small design work (logo, site graphics, banners, ads, etc) please feel free to reach me.

I charge a small hourly rate, smaller than most freelancers, I provide top-quality designs, and mockups. I also accept PayPal as a payment.

I am not looking for a position in a company, just a small job that I can help pay my bills, etc.

Please feel free to contact me at: shahedkhan30 [at] gmail.com

Hey HN'ers!

I've been curious lately, does anybody know when the next YC batch opens up for applications?

Is it usually on the same day as previous YC Winter applications, or different each year?

If you have any ideas, please post them below!

Best Regards, Shahed Khan

I'm creating a new podcast where I interview start-up co-founders, I plan on interviewing two founders each month.

I was curious if you guys had any creative names for my new podcast? Please let me know!

I'm trying to put together a Pitch Deck, but stumbled upon one of the slides.

What would my market cap be?

We're a platform where we connect people who don't have enough time to complete their daily errands, and people who want to make a quick buck and complete tasks in their area.

From where I see it, anyone who has a full-time job, and doesn't have time to run errands fits in our market cap.

139.206 million people are employed. 47% working full time meaning:

65.43 Million Americans are Full time workers

Is this a reasonable market cap?

Recently a lot of start-ups have been making it in the 'billion dollar club' also known as the billion dollar evaluation.

Recently Square and Groupon have been welcomed in this new group, are their any other start-ups that recently (past 12 months) make it to this club, with this valuation?

People have been asking me lately, whats the best way to describe what an IPO is? How would you describe what an IPO is to a not-so-business-savvy person?

Also how would you describe a start-up when their in stealth mode?
