I'm working away on learning javascript as well (currently fueled by codecademy!) any tips for starting a project like this? I'd be really interested in hearing how you took that first step. Oh and...Interesting little project, I really like it and I admire your drive, but you need some knitted keyboard cover pictures to really make this Pinterest-ish. Haha! Hope to hear back from you.
Awesome man! I haven't tried codecademy's javascript tutorials yet (heard great things), but I spent a ton of time on stackoverflow, quora, w3schools, api.jquery.com, and google. I also bugged my developer friends when I got really stuck. I would start with something incredibly simple. For UI use something like http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ or http://foundation.zurb.com/ so you can get started on your product's functionality quickly. I think the best way to learn a language is to build something with it. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions - happy to help where i can. Hope this helps and good luck! Oh and I'm working on adding images knitted keyboard covers and wedding dresses into hackerest to make it better.
