So we're all at least somewhat techy if we're into bitcoin, but that doesn't mean we all know how to code like a pro.
I believe there is a serious lack of tutorials and step-by-step walk throughs available in the bitcoin ecosystem.
I can google "how to light my fart on fire" and find endless videos available. There's even a wikipedia page dedicated to it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fart_lighting). This is a serious issue that such a ridiculous topic can have so many resources, but something as serious as integrating and building bitcoin websites does not. I know there are a lot of knowledgeable coders out there that know how to make cool bitcoin related websites, but for some reason no one is making tutorials.
Since I began working with bitcoin related websites mid last year I ran into lots of hurdles and I have compiled what I have learned into some step by step videos and written tutorials.
I know I'm not the greatest coder and there are probably better ways to do the things I demonstrate, but as I stated previously I only created these because they don't exist already and I wish they did when I was getting started. If you think I missed something crucial I advise you to create something better because it's something that the community could really use.
