It´s really normal, most people will begin with just lurking on a forum that interests them, later joining in a discussion maybe, but thats just the way it works. They usually still generate you ad revenue in some way so it`s not like they cost you anything.
There are many PTC sites that only scam people. They let you accumulate a certain amount so you think you can cash out, but when the time comes there is a clause which tells you to invest in the site otherwise your money is stuck. Obviously a big scam, stay away from that. What also bugs me is...
While not writing my own blog, I like to use bubblews. They have a network of people writing posts and you get a share of ad revenue that your posts generate based on views/likes/shares. You can also follow people whose articles you like. I think it is a pretty ncie alternative to having your...
Been using pagodabox and heroku for past projects, really easy to use and can scale if you need them to. For future projects that may become more popular (higher traffic etc) I want to look into hosting my sites on a VPS, but that is gonna be a challenge setting things up properly. :geek:
I´m currently developing a new project with Ruby on Rails and thus looking for a good PaaS (Platform as a Service) host. I`ve tried heroku and found it to be pretty easy to deploy and get going. but if you take a look at their prices you might get a shock.
Is there a good alternative? Or...
Yes, bubblews seems to be a good way to earn some money from blogging without having to make/market your own blog. Connecting with people whose posts you like so you can check them out later is a cool feature too. I think the key to success there is to build a good network of followers who...
Thats not quite right, you probably confused Ruby with Ruby on Rails, Ruby is just the language, whereas Ruby on Rails is a "web application framework". You can compare it to Python and Django or PHP and Laravel/Codeigniter.
It really is pretty easy to learn, but I think this still depends and varies from person to person. Also as you might know most programmers will always say their language is the best/ easiest, even if they have not really given any chance to other languages. I began coding in PHP and enjoyed it...
I have been testing Java, PHP , Python and Ruby and have found Ruby to be the best fit for me. The syntax is almost as if you would write an english sentence, it really is a beautiful language. I can enjoy PHP too but for some reason i just enjoy coding Ruby a lot more. :ninja:
I heard amazon mturk is a very profitable source of income, even without too much effort. Sadly this just works for people from USA and there really is no good alternative at that scale. Also swagbucks, again, only for a certain group of countries (I think Canada/USA/UK). PTC sites are usually...
I started with PHP tutorials from lynda just to get a basic idea about it. Later i just went and did as many tutorials as possible to broaden my knowledge. There is a huge amount of high quality tutorials on nettuts+ and other websites for most languages and frameworks. Also : Youtube :)
I would say PHP is the easiest to begin with (if you just look at backend code), after that i would assume either ruby or python (heavily depends on your own preference). No idea about the whole Node.js thing, might be pretty good to learn too.
I began with basic html/css/js in school, building very basic websites back in 2003-2004. Later got into CMS systems like joomla but i did not quite like them. Nowadays I enjoy coding them myself, using frameworks in PHP and Ruby on Rails. You are way more flexible if you just code yourself!
