www.CodeConquest.com is a site I launched last September and have gradually built it up since. I don't believe there's any other site like it, and so I want to turn it into the Internet's go-to resource for beginner and would-be programmers.
I plan to keep it up-to-date with extensive scope and depth, covering everything a beginner needs to know to get started in programming. In other words, I want it to be her "overarching" resource - the place where she finds the right training, learns what to do next when she's got it etc.
Ultimately, I hope to get it to the point where it’s so useful that programmers and educators will be thankful for it and will want to recommend it.
I don’t think it’s at that stage yet, but that's why I'm posting it here. I want to get YOUR opinion and suggestions. What's missing that needs to be there? What do I need to do to make it a website that you'd recommend?
What he doesn't mention is YouTube - the one product for which there is NO alternative. Sure, you can choose to post your own videos elsewhere, but when it comes to watching videos - many videos are only posted on YouTube and nowhere else.
For me, RSS is a necessary evil. I always opt for email subscription when I have the choice, because I find it infinitely more convenient to have my subscriptions and emails in the one place, rather than in two separate products.
However, for sites that do not offer email subscription but only offer RSS coughHNcough - I reluctantly use Google Reader to subscribe. Meaning an extra account to check each day.
Hopefully this won't merely result in everyone switching to just another RSS aggregator - instead, I hope it will prompt websites to start using more convenient subscription methods, whether that be email or something else.
What I assume is your user bio is in the wrong place. Because it's placed under the logo, I assumed it was the general description of the site and led to me asking 'who are you?'. It should be placed under your username.
