Okay, so you may have seen before that I said I usually quit after one or two posts...well here's number THREE!! Goody, goody!
Now for-serious: I have some random updates for my start-up project @Students2U.
1. I have been steadily learning php & mysql from a free book excerpt from the sitepoint website. It's quite good and I did promise a "book" review. So far I've learned to install a local server (Apache), do some simple SQL programming, and some simple to moderate php programming. It's been tons of fun, and if I could redo my collegiate career I would have minored in computer science (and *gulp* marketing!).
2. I want Students2U to be different. I want the users to be different. I want the experience to be different. I want the revenue streams to be different. I want share all the 'gory' details here (you didn't think I'd give everything away did you?), but I will say that it's not going to bombard you with random banner ads, and just between you and me Zynga may have exposed my ideal revenue model! That's all for now on that! Ha!
3. StartupWeekend. I can't wait! There is a Startup Weekend coming to my town (@StartupEvv). At startup weekend attendees are challenged to start a viable company in 54 hours! There will be pitches made on opening night, and the ideas will be voted on and the top votes will be worked on throughout the weekend. Needless to say I'm working on my "elevator pitch" for Students2U and hopefully I can find a development team through this networking experience. For more info on StartupEvv go here.
I'm pumped with everything going on. Glad the blog is rolling.
That's all for now.
