AppJet Offers Browser-Based Coding How-To, Hosting 63
theodp writes "Know someone who wants to learn to program? Paul Graham advises programmer wannabes to check out The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Programming on the Web from AppJet, which aims to be 'the funnest and easiest way for a beginner to get started programming.' Setting the guide apart from other tutorials is the ability to edit and run any of the all-Javascript examples directly in your browser. Newcomers to programming and experienced developers alike can also publish their AppJet creations on the web. Sure beats GE BASIC on the General Electric Time-Sharing Service!"

Computer programmers are the sort of people who come up with their own language.... and sometimes implement it. It is not about correct spelling and grammar just consistent spelling and grammar.

Cool site, but I really hope they have a section on netiquette somewhere in there...

Not going to look into this in too much depth yet, but it sounds quite a lot like Heroku [heroku.com] -- only less beginner-oriented, and without trying to do server-side javascript.
