3a. A step-by-step "game" teaching non-coders how to start building
stuff in HTML/CSS/Javascript/Python (by lpster)

I like stuff like this. With movies like "the Social Network"
there are lot of people with good ideas to build, And they will pay
for someone to show them how.

I think a very simple Codecademy-like service where users follow
an HTML tutorial (and see the output of their markup instantly) would
be fantastic and is almost a better starting place than Javascript for
learning how to code for the web (even HTML isn't code). It also would
have a larger potential audience-- I know loads of people who work
with Wordpress who would benefit from JUST learning a bit of CSS/HTML
<-- I was one of them, haha. I couldn't *not* learn CSS and Javascript/
jQuery after I figured out Wordpress and all the things I wanted to do
but couldn't due to not being comfortable with those languages. Add an
aspect of gamification to this, of course.
