EyeHawk, like you I just enrolled in How to Build a Startup (EP245) The Lean LaunchPad which looks like a great course.

EyeHawk, well I have not seen specifically a course on 2D Game Art, but I have many Evernote links to blog posts and such.

I do like deviantArt to look around and get some ideas.

Another great series of articles are the tuts+ tutorials and series with so much great insight with some listed below for your reference.

Digital Art for Beginners | Psdtuts+

Adobe Photoshop Tutorials from Beginner to Advanced | Psdtuts+

Game Development Tutorials from Beginner to Advanced | Gamedevtuts+

Photoshop Tutorials for Beginners | Psdtuts+

A great thing about the above links is that they refer you to many more links that can help you out.

Like you the only problem is finding time to go through it all and still have time to develop your apps and do all the other things that need to get done everyday.

I hope the above helps and let us know of anything you find especially pertinent, beneficial, and helpful.

EyeHawk, glad you are enjoying the course. I am finding it just fine so far and am looking forward to the application part of the course coming up in the second half or last three weeks. So what I have been doing is playing the videos at 2.00X speed and following the captions to make it pass more quickly.

Oh by the way, as I mentioned in a previous post above, edX is offering a free course, among others, CS50x: Introduction to Computer Science - HarvardX which looks like a really interesting course from viewing the embedded video and reading about it online with Classes starting October 15, 2012 and ending on April 15, 2013.

BlueSkies, you could try Udacity and edX too.

I have taken courses from Udacity and the "forerunner" to edX, MITx and they are all great.

All in all though, I would rank Udacity above them all in terms of imparting real-world, real-life, nails and tacks knowledge that you can quickly apply in your everyday working and business and development life, whereas the other classes are more traditional and theoretical plus the lectures are really short and sweet and to the point.

Let us know how you make out with the classes and what your impressions were too.

—, I like Weebly for a basic site with a blog, small store, etc. For a larger e-commerce implemention or more advanced features I like Joomla using

CloudAccess which is a great way to go as they have great support and make Joomla really easy to work with along with all the great plug-ins and extensions available in the Joomla platform and the Joomla Community is really vibrant and helpful to newbies and pros alike.

I wanted to follow-up my forum post with a workflow of what I have found helpful for implementing a Subversion (SVN) Version Control System (VCS) which I hope to follow-up with a tutorial at a later date once I have made the VCS process as robust and effortlessly as possible.

I have used CVS, SVN, Git and other version control services, but version control using SVN through the Freepository hosting service is far superior than any I have used heretofore and with the basic plan available free of charge (Subversion, 1 user/committer, 1 private repository, unlimited storage) it is a no-brainer.

So, I definitely am touting Freepository as the quintessential SVN hosting platform after trying it out and getting awesome support from the founder, John Minnihan, over this past holiday weekend.

It is also a plus that Freepository works great with TortoiseSVN a SVN client for Windows which can be used to access your SVN repository on Freepository and BitKinex a WebDAV client for Windows which can be used in downloading your entire SVN repository hosted on Freepository to your local drive for periodic backups.

Per Is Subversion the Right Tool?, "[...] If you need to archive old versions of files and directories, possibly resurrect them, or examine logs of how they've changed over time, then Subversion is exactly the right tool for you. If you need to collaborate with people on documents (usually over a network) and keep track of who made which changes, then Subversion is also appropriate. This is why Subversion is so often used in software development environments�working on a development team is an inherently social activity, and Subversion makes it easy to collaborate with other programmers. [...]"

Lots of luck in getting everything up and running. Any trials and tribulations you may have will be well worth the effort as I am finding out as work through the process of getting my SVN VCS up and running using these tools.

There is a free six week long (started on August 27, 2012) Gamification course being offered from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania through Coursera.

From their course policies "Students who successfully complete the course assignments above a threshold score of 70% will receive a certificate signed by the instructor."

Although I have just started the course today, I have found it quite helpful and hope you will too.

Would like an online version control system and looked on stackoverflow.com and got some ideas, but most free plans are limited to just code and come with a 1 GB or typically much less size repository.

Does anyone know of anymore strictly online products preferably one-click set-up like what you would get with a "Dropbox.com" or similar solution?

Currently I am using Syncplicity.com for syncing and "version control" with Carbonite.com for a redundant "version control" and backup.

Another great article on globinch.com with some more detail to help too.

Finally, I just read on chrispoulter.com about freepository.com and will give it a try, but thanks again for any other suggestions

Joe7, would like to incorporate this for randomly moving some sprites around the screen to generate random levels, thanks.

Pode, nice, which could be used for printing out a results or leaderboard within a game I imagine, thanks.

rexrainbow, wow this is great, will definitely like to have this capability in one of my games, thanks so much.

rexrainbow, will need to get further along in my game before using this, but it will definitely be helpful when I do, thanks.
