You can try running VMWare Fusion, Parallels, or VirtualBox to run Windows and therefore Paint.NET :) I personally use Fusion and it's been great for purposes such as this.

I'm in a similar boat. For Javascript, I found http://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Definitive-Guide-Activate-G... to be a good place if you have little to no familiarity of Javascript. For Node, I'm using the links suggested here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2353818/how-do-i-get-star....
For Angular, I've just followed the documentation on angularjs.org and tried applying it to various web projects that I have already.
I feel that there are a lot more projects in pure JS compared to CoffeeScript that even if you did learn CoffeeScript, you can't avoid encountering pure JS.

+1 I was working in my cushy corporate job while my cofounder (also in the same company) and I tried to get our startup going on the side. Eventually I realized that I just didn't have the time to be successful at both and I had to make a choice. It's been over a year since I left and the learning experience alone was worth it. There is so much work and problems to deal with in building a successful startup that unless you're willing to devote yourself 100% to it, you're not ready for it.

My cofounder and I created Skyforge with the aim of helping Android developers get basic testing and validation of their apps quickly and easily, so I'd love to get feedback from Android developers on whether such a service would help them or not.

From an economics standpoint, I'm curious why education has been skyrocketing in price? Is it primarily due to demand, and universities are just jacking up tuition because they can? Or are there other factors at play?

I completely agree, and India is a prime example of this. In some of the poorer states there, the politicians are blatantly corrupt, yet keep getting re-elected.

I completely agree with you here. Having used Visual Studio as my primary editor for a long time, I finally decided to give vim a try last year given how all my hacker friends raved about it. It definitely took a few days of understanding the basic concepts and going over the steep learning curve, but now I'm way more efficient with my coding than before.
It's been the same experience with git. It definitely has a steeper learning curve, especially coming from a centralized source control system like TFS and Perforce (for me at least), but having worked through that curve, I feel git has been much more useful to my workflows than what TFS or Perforce (or insert any central source control system) has ever been.

Fair enough, could've been posted later. I just found the article intriguing and a good basis for some interesting discussions I had with friends after watching the film
