Yeah, its good to directly donate but crowdfunding just makes it easier for people abroad to donate.

I am from Nepal. Its definite that nobody here can buy licensed copy of Photoshop. People ocassionally buy original Antivirus copies. Selling software in such a market is tough. I have just completed Bachelor of Software Engineering. Developing countries are being able to provide world class education but market is definitely not what they can provide. Creating this software was my friend's idea and he is definitely going to give me share from his earning by making cards but selling software in developing countries is tough since people still think intangible things should be free. Changing this mindset is a big challenge and I am still trying to convince some of the potential customers.

Save yourself time and money and find a different market or stop now. If you are a one or two man shop (or similar) with limited resources, you will likely fail. Educating a market is costly and time consuming, and changing mindsets even moreso.

Sorry to be blunt, but been there too many times. Good luck.

golang is worth learning.

Use USB TV card. One from pinnacle seems to be the best.

linux mint is best if you need features and power saving.

http://javascriptissexy.com This site gives guidelines on how to use all the web materials in effective way to learn javascript.

I was pretty excited about starting this course, I'm on chapter 5 of Professional Javascript, and I've completed all but one of the JavaScript sections one Codecademy (Objects II is all that's left).

This isn't the first time that I've tried to learn JavaScript. I understand the syntax fairly well (loops, arrays, functions, objects, etc.) but I still feel as if I haven't made any progress at all when it comes to knowing how to build something useful. I'm comfortable with HTML and CSS, and I've added basic jQuery functionality to simple web apps, but if I had to write JavaScript from scratch that actually does something helpful I would still be totally lost.

The assigned readings in this course are extremely tedious, and make it seem as if it would be impossible to retain much of the information, because none of it seems to apply to a beginner. I understand everything I've read, but it seems more like I'm delving into obscure technical details about the ECMAScript standard and less like I am learning how to do anything(It's almost like reading an RFC). Definitive JavaScript is allegedly better suited to beginners, but it seemed the same to me. I'm still going through the suggested lesson plan, but when exactly am I going to feel as if I've learned how to write a program?

of course HTML5 video requires javascript because html can't play video, it javascript decoder that plays video.

Video playing is not handeled by JS. You only use JS to control the player (if you want). The playing itself is handeled by the browser somewhere. So no, you don't need JS for html5 video.

University of people

That looks like it might be a good 'Plan B' if my funding falls through. But for now I'm aiming for transferable undergraduate studies at an accredited school.

feels good to see that everyone in world learns like a child and incrementally develop into a genius whom world admire. Thanks to xbuzz for this post.
