Facebook promises to stabilize shaky 360-degree videos

Shaky video is already a problem with conventional cameras, but it's much worse with 360-degree and virtual reality cams. Your bumpy mountain bike ride won't be so exciting to watch if it makes viewers queasy. However, Facebook might just save the da...

[Pay What You Want] Learn to Code Bundle 2016

Pay What You Want - Learn to Code Bundle 2016 01

With Walyou Deals’ Learn to Code Bundle, anyone can pick up programming and turn their lives around. The fact that it’s offered in a Pay What You Want system enables you to spend as little as you want, depending on how much you want to learn.

By learning to code, people can become even more valuable assets for the companies they work for. On the other hand, starting from scratch and becoming an expert in any of the programming languages, operating systems and environments covered by this bundle increases people’s chances of getting hired, in case they don’t already have a job.

The 9 courses that make up this bundle are as follows:

  • AngularJS: From Zero to Hero
  • Become a Professional Python Programmer
  • Build Responsive Real World Sites with HTML5 & CSS3
  • Become a Certified Web Developer
  • Learn Linux in 5 Days & Level Up Your Career
  • PHP & MySQL Web Development From Scratch – Build 5 Project
  • Advanced Ruby Programming: 10 Steps to Mastery
  • Git Complete: The Definitive, Step-By-Step Guide
  • Learn Cloud Computing with AWS

While you can get the last two regardless of how much you pay, unlocking the other seven implies beating the average, which $12.25 at press time. You also have the option to become the giving leader for this deal by beating the leader price, which is $63, for the time being. Getting at the top of the leader board any time while the deal is running will grant you 5 entries to Walyou Deals’ exclusive giveaway, which currently is a MonoRover R2 Hoverboard. Considering that the courses typically cost between $99 and $299 each, getting the bundle is really an incredible deal.

Bear in mind that each of the coding languages, frameworks and operating systems that you’re supposed to learn about in this bundle has some specific system requirements, so make sure that your computer meets those before getting the bundle. More details about this can be found on the page of the deal, linked below.

The Learn to Code Bundle also has a charitable dimension, as 10% of all proceeds go to Project HOPE, a charity that “delivers essential medicines and supplies, health expertise and medical training to respond to disaster, prevent disease, promote wellness and save lives around the globe.”

To buy the bundle, head over to Walyou Deals and check the eLearning category or click here to get straight to the Learn to Code Bundle page. If coding is your thing or you want it to become so, make sure that you visit the page within the next 6 days, while the deal ends after that.

Unlike some of the other deals featured on our store, which cannot be shipped outside of continental US, the Learn to Code Bundle is exclusively made of digital products that can be delivered instantly, anywhere in the world. Take advantage of the offer now, as the average is bound to get higher, and beating it to get all the courses will become increasingly more difficult.

MooresCloud Light runs Linux, puts LAMP on your lamp (video)

MooresCloud Light runs Linux, puts LAMP on your lamp video

Yes, we'll admit that we borrowed that pun in the title. MooresCloud founder Mark Pesce's Xzibit reference is still a very apt description of the Light, his company's Linux-based LED lamp. The Australian team's box-shaped illumination runs the open OS (including a LAMP web server stack) on an integrated mini PC with an accelerometer and WiFi. The relative power and networking provide obvious advantages for home automation that we've seen elsewhere, but it's the sheer flexibility of a generalized, web-oriented platform that makes the difference: the Light can change colors based on photos or movement, sync light pulses to music and exploit a myriad of other tricks that should result from a future, web-based app store. When and how the Light launches will depend on a Kickstarter campaign to raise $700,000 AUD ($717,621 US) starting on October 16th, although the $99 AUD ($101 US) cost is just low enough that we could see ourselves open-sourcing a little more of the living room. At least, as long as we don't have to recompile our lamp kernel before some evening reading.
