Hello World! AppJet Opens Browser-Based JavaScript School — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 10:22:12 +0000

[...] Hello World! AppJet Opens Browser-Based JavaScript School This online school is significant because it offers a very low barrier to entry for novices who are looking to get their feet wet and start programming. Nearly every programming tutorial requires some kind of software prerequisite, be it a downloaded client or a server, which can be both expensive and difficult to set up for a new user. Conversely, AppJet requires no software, allowing users to edit, debug, and run code through a browser interface. Because of this low barrier, AppJet may well see an influx of new students who they can convert to regular members. [...]

If you guys like the AppJet concept of rapidly developing hosted web apps. You should check out my site http://utilitymill.com too. It’s a similar concept but designed for simpler input/output type programs and it runs Python.

@Dave, give me a break, one can hardly compare changing oil to writing code. Writing code is more like asking an average Joe to design and put together a car, not change oil.

By: Dave

Dave — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 20:18:46 +0000

@Phil Dalhauser, By your logic, I shouldn’t change the oil in my own car just because I’m not a mechanic. The fallacy is that education is more important than talent and a good idea. After all, how many of the best ideas were conceived by nobodys and then tweaked by the professionals? Face it, the ones that don’t have the natural talent will give up early on, and those who have raw talent and a little training will be able to present a quality idea that us educated folk can then make better.

@robfitz, I highly doubt that a casual developer would be more quality focused than a salaried developer. More likely than not, a casual developer is going to be a lot more interested in delivering features and far less interested in ensuring quality s/w, just my $0.02. Often times, a basic level of quality assurance involves testing on multiple browsers and different versions of the same browser(s), and I doubt they teach that at AppJet.

@phil dalhauser – perhaps because (many) folks majoring in cs do it for a salary, and thus don’t care too terribly about quality. and perhaps, those people who have other professions, who have sought out programming and have the passion to learn it, will also have the passion to deliver quality experiences?

Great, now every Tom, Dick, and Harry can call themselves programmers and churn out crappy buggy s/w, is this what we really want? Seriously, think about it, there are plenty of crappy buggy s/w out there even with CS degreed developers and now you want to teach average Joe how to code, you gotta be fucking kidding me.

Let me guess, you’re doing PR for these guys. The story’s up a minute and you already know that these tutorials are ‘great’ etc. And a PR guy would know JS well enough to ‘recommend it’.

Seriously, you suck at PR buddy. This is called astroturfing.

@Webepags: Are you talking about a distinction between the terms “scripting language” and “programming language”? Most dynamic, lightweight programming languages (Perl, Python, etc.) are also referred to as scripting languages.

Also, JavaScript is not at all limited to “user interface” scripting. It was actually originally conceived as a server-side language.
