This is a great idea. Unfortunately, all the upcoming office hours appears to be web framework stuff, most of which I already am pretty comfortable with or am comfortable learning on my own. The only exception to this appears to be Steve's session on open source projects (which I'm sure will be excellent based on his recent blog post on this topic [1]).
However, I would pay good money to be able to participate in office hours with an expert who's discussing lower-level stuff: C, C++, Rust, or even some assembly. I'm really interested in learning more about embedded, but would also attend any type of systems programming office hours.
I'm pretty hungry to learn more about this kind of lower-level stuff, and I sometimes get stuck on my own.
I'd also love to participate in a functional programming office hours, and would pay accordingly. Something with OCaml would be great, or Haskell, etc. These are all languages I have a superficial understanding of, and would love to delve deeper.
In short, diversify your offering beyond web stuff and I'll be there.
This is a great idea - we will diversify our offering as you suggested. If you have any specific recommendations on which experts you'd like us to invite - please shoot me an email. Thanks!
Scrolling is completely broken for me on ios devices (both an ipad and an iphone 5c). Why is there so much temptation to mess with how the user scrolls?
The youtube'd example on the homepage is not a very strong one because the mentor's accent is very hard to understand and I would say it destroys the reputability of the entire platform.
