Thanks, but this was actually made by my friend Nathan Bashaw (nbashaw). I just submitted it because I think it's awesome :) I think the tool is great for a certain group of people: beginners and front-end folks who want to quickly see what something looks like or do some debugging.

I'm not sure if codepen supports the realtime google-docs-style collaboration, either, which Scratchpad is good for. It's simple product with no superfluous features.

If these are the type of students I'm thinking of, they really don't want to become computer scientists, or software engineers, even. They want to learn how to code so they can build stuff, namely web apps. I'm assuming that since they don't want/can't handle a theoretical program, yet still think they want to learn Comp Sci, they fit this description.

So I'd teach towards that:

1) an understanding of the technology stack for a web app 2) Javascript 3) Ruby or Python w/ Rails or Django

Literally die the hour you lose your job? No. But lose a job and become homeless? Or desperately find another job that barely supports your family and you end up living in poverty in a neighborhood with high crime? Almost every major US city.

I wonder--does it become less special because it's sent in a medium like this? Nearly automating the process seems to take the thought out of it, and it really is the thought that counts with your parents.

Since this is mostly satire--what are some actually good articles/blog posts about how to write better? I'm familiar with "Writing, Briefly". Any other suggestions?

Thanks. So, to be clear, it's not the price that has you hesitant, but just wanting to make sure it's worth the money?

So would a free trial be better for that, or a few previews of past songs?

So, I just recently taught myself HTML & CSS, and this is my first project.

It's a simple site for people who like indie music--you can subscribe to a list for 16 bucks and get emailed a new artist everyday. I'm doing payments thru PayPal (I know, I know).

Any and all thoughts & criticism would be welcome. Thanks!

I personally think that the "internet" does need to learn about Congress, or at least be aware of what is going on. ICANN controls the root DNS servers for TLDs, and before ICANN, the US government did.
