+1 to this! Amazing book!

My boss used to have a poster that read "Good, cheap, fast. Pick two."

For all these fast projects, I wonder what the resulting costs and quality were!

Thanks - I was suprised my submission didn't just add a vote to an existing one!

My understanding is that the dupe detector doesn't work all the time.

Neat idea. I love that the repayments are going back in to funding Zidisha itself - a unique way to raise ~$100k! Congrats on the funding round Julia :)

Great little screencast - thanks for that!

I'd love to hear any suggestions for how a publication like this could contribute. We've got a few ideas of our own but are very open to suggestions.

David,

What about a curated list of open-source projects with defined needs, perhaps generated on a month-to-month basis? For example, you guys could comb through GitHub or any other repository and provide users with a top-50 list of projects/descriptions/languages used/etc.

Obviously, plenty of users will continue to contribute bug fixes to the projects they use on a regular basis. But some users might just want an interesting hack that stretches their knowledge and comfort zone - and if it fixes a problem for that project, why not?

I second that idea. And would further suggest highlighting some projects that require roles other than developers, so those projects can get the design, marketing, product, etc help that they're seeking.

I'm pretty excited about this! What are your current favourite UK/EU tech blogs?

Will be very interesting that's for sure...at the moment, there aren't many I read regularly at all, hence the possible opportunity I think.

Same here

Congratulations! Just ordered my first one :)
