A better way to do...stuff!

Explore, Learn, Do and then Flex it! :-)

Getting Super Powers

That means information on how to make Apps, websites, databases and anything else you want that isn't for display in a museum exhibit on Cavemen.

$ give me super-powers

Creating stuff is still a privilege reserved for an elite group of people, known as Developers

Hello World is pointless....

They charge a lot, are often quite condescending.
 
Most of all, they make sure to never teach you how to do stuff.

To make it even more frustrating, they publish loads of information online about how to do it, which is mostly 'for beginners', - often said with a slight sneer. But even when well intentioned, the truth is once you know how to build a Blockchain AI powered banking app in your sleep, the thing you can't do is teach the basics.

And I mean THE BASICS! - at least not without making ordinary people feel as small as pixel, because while people are smart, and know what a pixel is, they don't speak the mystical language of developers.

And that's what this guide is for. I'm writing it as I learn to step outside the box, and I plan to translate those development epiphanies into language and concepts ordinary people can understand. Mostly to remind myself in future, but also to democratise access to the stuff we all use every day and would like to be able to do ourselves.

Enjoy!
