Hi all, I have a friend that asked for my advice on an issue, although I couldn't give him a satisfactory advice, I directed him to NL but he begged me to do it for him. So here comes:
The guy in question loves gadgets, softwares, apps games n all the techy stuff. Now he told me he wants to start his own technology company,(building gadgets,developing softwares n his only problem is, he can't write a line of code. I would have loved to teach him, but I'm not the 'techy guy'. Sometimes ago I adviced him to learn all dese geeky stuff, but it seems his school schedule won't permit him(We attend the same uni). nd he keeps complaining that online learning is crap. His only advantage is that he has a huge financial backing. Now he is confused because lots of articles on the web states tht its almost imposibble for someone without techy knowledge to start n run a tech company.

Left to me, I have tried to discourage him because i kinda agree with those articles. But he seems bent, and I think he can use any other advice u guys can offer.

Humn mods can u do me a favor? can u direct this post to where ppl will see it?

Thanks

Hmm first of all, a lot of things have to be considered. How old is He and is he really serious about what he aims to do. Then if he is, believe me nothing is impossible for him to acquire. So I think you should encourage him and give him more moral support.
