If it's not too late to jump in, I'm also intrested

I think you're better off using Wordpress instead of blogspot, especially if you'll want to be able to give other users the option to post entries. Another benefit is the fact that you can have addons, for code syntax highlight for example.

As for the forum, would we really use one? I mean, I can see how that would be nice at times, but not sure if it's a requirement.

The last part (nginx and Django) is sounding to me like he's telling you to code your website (backend based on Python - Django, served by nginx, an Apache alternative) which wouldn't really be practical considering the time-frame we have.

Now, I'm very definitely no graphics artist, but I thought I'd give it a shot. If someone else can do better (and I think they can), by all means go ahead.

I really like how that turned out :D

I think it's better to make hay while the sun shines, instead of getting bogged down by technicalities in an effort to find the best platform right away. Choose something you're comfortable with and that lets you focus on the content (instead of having to fiddle with managing the presentation), and let's start. :) If the platform really turns out to be inferior in the end, we can always switch.

phpBB is easy to set up.

At least, it must be. My friend has done it about 100 times :P

Simple and pretty. Me likes.

Don't worry, no matter what happens, we start tomorrow. I'll inform everyone who said here he'd be interested,

Now, change it to white background and I'm going to ... Eh... Be really grateful to you!

Is it too late to join in? I've always been interested in learning to program things in C++ but I lacked time and motivation to actually start.

I see this as a good opportunity, so I hope I made it in time!

We're starting tomorrow :)

Well, I tried to quote everyone who showed some form of interest, sorry if I forgot someone / qouted someone who didn't :D

So, we're starting tomorrow. That doesn't mean you'll have to do plenty of work tomorrow, I actually opted for 2 weeks C++ course due to ammount of people who aren't that good with it, so don't worry. Still, learning C++ and objects in 2 weeks isn't the easiest task.

Don't worry, thou; me and AndrewC are currently setting up blog AND discussion boards, so if you have any trouble or don't understand anything, feel free to ask. And I am not able to be on-line ALL the time, so I'd like to ask people who said they can code to help others on the boards as well - after all, I'd like the whole project to work like that.

I am currently writing first few blogposts on my computer and when everything is ready, I'll post a link to the blog here, so keep watching the thread!

What color foreground then?

Eh, forget it. It actually fits quite nicely with what AndrewC has done as it is currently.

I'll try the white one as well, thanks :D

Here's one in the same colour as the current headline.

Edit: And just to be thorough, one that's the reverse of that.

Can't vouch for the last one, but the first 3 really helped me up my game in C++.

I strongly recommend them to anyone who has already read an introduction level book and just wants to program better in C++.

Definitely. C++ is pretty hard to use properly.

I would recommend Python or Java to hobbyists.

Not really. It's easier to shoot yourself in the foot in C++ than in C.

There is a lot more implicit stuff happening under the hood and literally piles of "omg, I didn't think about this particular case... this is messed up" scenarios.
