Is there anything similar to Rails Tutorial for a JS MEAN stack?

I also have the second edition and can't praise it enough. I have a computer science degree but never really applied it to actual development as I am a business analyst in my professional life. This book bridged the gap and I quickly became proficient enough in Rails to develop a side project.

Great idea. I don't usually watch Dragons Den but one of the few episodes I watched had this exact thing and they said they were already partnering with Sony and that their tags were in the box of every Sony laptop (I think).

Yeah I guess. I don't regret it but it has cost me money and when I was building it I was naive enough to think that I would make money on it.

I had never really created anything before and wanted to learn Rails.

Built it and have been paying $10/mo in hosting for the last two years. I use it and have around 30 active users (couple hundred non-active). So I kind of keep it going just because I realize that the 30 people who use it have invested a lot of time entering scores and stuff.

My monetization strategy was to get traffic and rely on Google ads.

I am already finding it a bit slow/boring. If 6 to 9 are that bad then I might end up quiting on it.

I'm also eagerly awaiting the next Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicle book

Me too. The first two were great. Looking forward to the next book in the Mistborn series from Sanderson too.

Seems completely unnecessary to me.

Hopefully they will open it up to Canada in the process. They left it open by mistake I think for a few days a while ago but now it won't let you Add a Canadian number.

Same as my work environment. I have to have headphones on most of the time.
