Anybody can learn to write code. The hard part is solving problems, not typing commands. This means that learning to program is a mental exercise followed by its interpretation into code.
TeachMeToCode.com is about helping you learn to think about problems and how to write code once you've figured out what you want. Sign up for the mailing list, watch a video, listen to the podcast, or read an article to get started.

greate work! Please more =)
maybe you can show rails internal?
Sounds good.. Just add it into the requests and if it gets enough votes, we'll do it
I wonder why the pin is aked… at the beginning using the twitter oauth, i was just asked the “deny / allow” screen, wich is obviously the most common… Maybe I'm wrong, but a small amount of twitter users might be aware of it…
I might just not know the difference or aware of the acess provided by the pin insertion; againt the “deny/allow”… thx if any info about it.
And I just don't get why at some point i was just asked the “deny/allow”, wich changed somehow to this right here pin asking !
The reason I am using the PIN method here is b/c this is in preparation to create a web application where you manage your own Twitter feeds. If we had users log in and want to manage their tweets, I would definitely NOT use the PIN method.
Thanks for bringing that point up though. It's good to clarify this.
When you get to the open command in Mint (and I presume also Ubuntu), you get this error message:
“Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console”
The fix is to run this command:
“sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/open”
I found the fix at this web page-
