Taking the Leap. Any tips?
I'm finally doing it. Starting in January I am taking a non-paid indefinite leave of absence from a consulting job that I've gotten too comfortable with over the last 7-8 years. I haven't yet decided what exactly I'm going to do but I have some ideas for web/mobile apps that I'm planning to pursue.<p>I used to think that I wanted to build the next great startup but in reading the first couple of chapters of Rob Walling's "Start Small, Stay Small", I'm starting to rethink what my goals are.<p>Being an out of practice developer with minimal experience in web/mobile apps means that I'll need to decide and ramp up on a language. I have some very basic skills with PHP and mySQL so was planning to stick with those.<p>Any tips or ideas for pursuing such an endeavor?
