Is it too late to join now?
Itās never too late but you need to put in some overtime.

This looks sweet!!
Iāve been working on my own project the last couple of days already, so while Iām jumping into this late, I think that Iāll sign up for this. 
Iāll just need to move this to a public repo.
But, what Iām working on right now is a budget program that I can use in my own personal life, but additionally, itās so I can learn c#.
I already know Java, so picking up on c# hasnāt been that bad at all. However, I am still getting used to all the stuff that visual studio and c# does for you out of the box. Whew! Thereās a lot!
Hey if youāre throwing in some JavaScript or some kind of interactivity to your comic, itās perfect!

Iāve finally submitted my PhD thesis so alongside catching up on a whole bunch of reading I have been missing out on, I need to get back to actually programming stuff. I have been using D for my university projects for the past 2-3 years when I can (mostly because Iām the only one using my code base) and Iāve fallen in love with the language. So I think Iām going to try and build up a bigger project using D - maybe some web app.
Otherwise Iād quite like to try out some functional programming at some point. I know you can do bits in D but a purely functional programming language sounds worlds apart from the imperative style Iām used to so it might be a good time to dive in. Either way, Iām a little late but Iām definitely up for getting involved!

Donāt really count this for the contest, not even for a Marvel Comics no-prize, but I figured Iād take my old cgi-bin Fortran .csv data statistical tabulator and refactor the code
.e.g.

into a somewhat more Modern Fortran approach
! Modern Fortran statistical computations module

and on the presntation side of things decided to rip off some css code from here

Got my latest blog in.
Boy its been quite a ride T_T
I edited the root post to link to the devs project threads. Check them out if you havent already and give them some encouragement.

Thatās awesome, man! A lot of that went over my head, but itās neat to see into the work youāre doing.
So far, the updates to everyoneās projects is interesting.
Since were 12 days into the challenge, anyone looking to get it started now wonāt really be able to fully complete it, but any and all submissions are welcome.
I just want to see what awesome projects people can come up with

I think I want to take part in this, and I took the previous mentioned resource and read through, but is there anywhere online that has a lot of assembly stuff to teach? Its really the only code that I am interested in.
Odd to say half way through the month, sure, but I would just do it for fun for a whole year really.

Know Iām late to the party and all, however I do have a server which I havenāt been using for anything but F@A, and I want to set up remote SSH with publlic key encryption along with file sharing + automation. All of this comes down to either getting into perl or python headfirst or leveling up my bash. Try to count me in.
Sure, make a post and Iāll add you.
IIRC Wendel released a great guide for that on the linux channel some months ago.
Glad to see these are still going
Yeah me too.
