Can someone please clarify what direction this community will be taking in the future?

Personally I would love to see some web development related topics. Although I am sure Python is something I will need to use at some point. I can foresee this site taking up alot of my time!

Kind regards Jack

Hi niravusc.

Both PHP and Ruby on Rails have separate communities which might be able to assist.

This is a community extension of Greg Wilson’s excellent Software Carpentry curriculum. He’s an illustrious professor at the University of Toronto.

To further expand on this point; not only is this an extension but I hope to see it serve as base platform for further lessons that cover the material in different languages. Currently it is unix and python centric but it will expand over time to cover other platforms and languages while still serving as an introductory software design and build community.
