Anyone want to be my accountability partner?

Hey guys.

So I got in to coding about three weeks ago. I've learned Css and HTML, now I'm getting more into javascript and ruby on rails(the language I'll use for my web app).

My main goal for learning to code is to be able to create a tech startup, probably a web app, in the next six months or one year.

I've noticed that having an accountability partner is really important for success at anything really.

It would basically be for us to have weekly calls where we would keep ourselves accountable on our goals and progress.

We would set new goals for every week and help each other the most we can.

Ideally you are getting into ruby on rails as well and have similar goals.

If any of you are interested, then let me know :)

P.S. Some background info so you can know more about me: I'm 17 years old, have my own online business and got I used to trade actively in the stock market. I am from Puerto Rico.

Hey Alfonso,

I'm 19 and just got out of high school. I'm currently an intern at a Fortune 500 company, and I plan on starting a web development business by the end of this year. I'm preparing for that by learning all the front-end development languages (html, css, javascript, etc.), and taking a plethora of courses in business, entrepreneurship, and of course, coding. I have been doing all this for about 6 months.

Seems like we have similar goals, and having your own business this early in your career is really awesome. I feel like we'd have a lot to share with each other, and provide support in reaching our goals.

Shoot me a message some time and I'll give you my contact information if you're interested.

Hi Alfonso, i'm 20 and i'm currently enrolled in my local faculty in italy studying Economics. I started recently an account on treehouse but it's almost 2 years that i work as a freelancer, now i'm creating a tech-startup specialized in developing websites and apps that also offers digital marketing service such as web analysis,trends,web scraping,social media marketing. I believe we have some common and complementary goals so it would be very productive to work together. This is my website www.rocketmind.it These are some of my latest works (in development) : www.cristinalifecoach.it www.ub-academy.it Currently we are developing even e-commerce platforms. See you soon!
