This is the second class of the series. If you missed the first class, you're welcome to attend this one. Course materials from the first class will be published soon, if you need to catch up. This course is for non-programmers. The aim of this series is to build a complete social network from scratch and get a firm grip on what's happening behind the scenes when you use popular sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

In 2011, I developed words2clouds.com and bembot.com, a blogging platform and p2p payment site. I lead product development & engineering at AdsByManna.com, a digital couponing and ad server for mobile. I'm currently the operating partner @ 140 Ventures. My latest hack is Text This To Me, an extension for Chrome browsers.
