- where is Vim, Emacs - the most used hacker editors.
- looks like PostgreSQL, MySQL and other RDBMS do not qualify as Databases
- where is SICP; is PG's On Lisp only lisp resource.
I don't know much about Lisp, or much of anything yet as this is part of my research and hence why I asked for improvements. Specific suggestions welcome. Thanks for sharing.
From what I see on the list I am deducing that you work with rails most of time. If that is correct, that is what you should have aimed for "Ruby/Rails Resources Page".
I guess it would have worked better if you had created separate page for Apple resources(just thinking out loud; I do not know anything about Apple app development).
There is a lot of stuff that can be categorized as generic tools and not anything specific to hackers. Either should have been a separate part list or not at all(I am not sure many "hackers" [want to]use 37Signals services).
Listing of resources is almost useless to the reader if you do not provide a short explanation on why you think the tool is on your list. This saves readers' time. Hackers love knowing opinions; even if they don't agree.
Finally, You should have included only those topics on which you possess a good level of expertise.
Your 2 cents doesn't count. Just kidding. I have outlined for the most part if it is an Apple resource (it is the first one), etc. There are people who disagree with this resource being useless. Something I clearly failed to do and I was trigger happy in the process was calling the subject "Startup Hacker Beginner Resource guide" or something to that effect.
Why Ruby/Rails? I have included some Python resources. "Startup" Hackers will use lots of these tools and then some.
If plenty of people say a certain resource is junk then I could pull it but I am confident there are some quality resources. I do not have to be an expert to know if something is decent or not as I put plenty of time into this.
To answer your question and be as open as my introduction to the page, I just started learning HTML/CSS & Ruby.
Also, I think you meant to say "Short" not Shot /typo.
I clearly failed to use a proper term of a startup Hack or Hacker. My bad to the masses in the peanut gallery of correctness.
Never assume, it's bad for your health and usually incorrect. Thanks again, as I appreciate your input.
