... you can learn to code!<p>Couple options:<p>If you need something not too intensive you could go with Treehouse (<a href="http://teamtreehouse.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;teamtreehouse.com&#x2F;</a>) which has really good topic-specific videos and interactive quizzes.<p>If you can afford the money and time then go with something more intensive such as a bootcamp - I recommend Flatiron School (<a href="http://flatironschool.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;flatironschool.com&#x2F;</a>). You&#x27;ll learn a whole lot in 3 months.<p>There&#x27;s also Thinkful (<a href="http://www.thinkful.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thinkful.com&#x2F;</a>) which has curated content, 1-1 mentorship and uses a project-based approach.<p>Once you have the foundation (and overcome the many frustrations and roadblocks you&#x27;ll face as a beginner) you&#x27;ll be way on your way, with a new and valuable skill.<p>Full disclaimer: I work at Thinkful

... you&#x27;ll need cash!

If you don&#x27;t have programming skills and just want to validate your idea it might be wise to hire a reliable software house to build MVP for you. Once you gain traction you can start building your own team or reworking the MVP on your own. &lt;shameless plug&gt;This is how we work with founders from the UK and US at codedose.com&lt;&#x2F;shameless plug&gt;

Has anyone managed to load the page yet? I&#x27;ve been trying on and off for ages.

Author here. Did not expect this to hit the front page, and of course got struck down by the almighty HN traffic gods.<p>Page is back up now!

The HN DDoS attack strikes again...

If you have a startup idea AND some money, let&#x27;s do this.

Have a startup idea but don&#x27;t know how to code well?

You need to get a technical co-founder.

Throw enough shit at the wall and some of it will stick.<p>At least there will be no shortage of easy work for security analysts if people keep encouraging morons to think they should be developing web applications.
