Hi Charles,
Thanks so much for your support! Here are the answers to your questions.
Who?
I’m Eric Elliott, author of “Programming JavaScript Applications” (O’Reilly), and contributor to the app experiences of many well-known brands, including Adobe, Zumba Fitness, The Wall Street Journal, BBC, and musicians such as John Legend, Usher, Metallica, and many more.
What?
I’m on a mission to end homelessness. The main cause of homelessness is that people can’t find affordable housing. Why? Often because they don’t qualify for high-paying jobs. We want to make sure that people who need it have access to high quality web platform training — the sort of training you’ll need to land a great job at Google, Twitter, PayPal, or one of the many hot startups building great apps. We’re launching a series of courses called “Learn JavaScript with Eric Elliott.” Great for anybody who wants to learn how to build great applications.
Where?
Anybody from anywhere can take advantage of the courses. For the outreach programs, we have volunteers in various cities around the world.
Why?
I’m tired of watching the suffering of people in poverty, struggling with homelessness, always scrambling to meet basic survival needs, while we’re commuting to work early in the morning to chat with our outsourced team in India before they go to sleep. I love international collaboration, but we’re outsourcing a ton of work overseas while we have people curled up on sidewalks, getting kicked or mugged, getting sick, and generally enduring more than any person should be required to endure.
We’re gearing up to release our first course — one that reveals a valuable software development process. Some derivative of this process is used by many of the best teams in the world to develop, release, and validate software updates daily.
You can learn more about why we’re doing this from the Medium posts:

Books are shipping now. We’re gearing up to launch the first course in October. The course website is scheduled to open in December, at which point, more courses will be released.

Paul Graham just delivered an awesome lecture on Counterintuitive Parts of Startups, and How to Have Ideas.
Project 1 has been posted to the course webpage. We have set up a subreddit for project submission. You can start submitting project 0 (and even project 1), and you are encouraged to give feedback to other students. Please read the rules on the subreddit before submitting!
For your convenience, I have consolidated all resources/links related to the class in one place:
Have a wonderful week!

Viewing details, Q&A submission, first readings, and more!

Let’s get started!
Howdy! We’re super excited for the first lecture of How to Start a Startup (and to have 50,000 of you following along), and I hope you are too. Sam will be starting things off tomorrow, and Dustin Moskovitz (cofounder of Facebook, Asana, and Good Ventures) will cover Why to Start a Startup.
Dustin and Sam will each answer a couple of questions in Q&A this week. You can submit questions on this form (by this evening for Dustin, by Wednesday for Sam). Top questions will selected to be voted on by members of the Facebook group (tonight for Dustin, on Wednesday for Sam).
400 universities around the world, as well as many non-university organizations, are organizing viewing sessions to bring people together, watch the lecture videos, discuss the content, bounce ideas off each other, and peer evaluate assignments. Contact info for university Leaders and other organizers, as well as viewing session details, are on this spreadsheet. If you’re organizing a viewing session that isn’t on that sheet, please add it!
You don’t have to go to a viewing session to watch the 50-minute videos – all will be posted on startupclass.samaltman.com by 4 PM Pacific Time (no live stream) every day.
There are two recommended readings before watching the lecture tomorrow: Advice for Ambitious 19 year olds by Sam Altman, and Good and Bad Reasons to Become an Entrepreneur by Dustin Moskovitz.
You’ll get an email tomorrow as soon as the first video is online. That will include a link to the discussion forum we’ll be using specifically to discuss the contents of the lectures.
Have a great Monday!
Sam and Pulak
