Yes, you can futz. Here is the license https://github.com/citybound/citybound/blob/master/LICENSE.t... Read about it here https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html

Having a license that says you can go play with it doesn’t mean it will be straightforward as a newcomer to understand the code you find or to accomplish any particular goal with your fiddling.

I haven’t looked closely at this project, but I would recommend at least considering starting out fiddling with a simpler system, if you want to learn to code.

Thanks.

I don't know that I will even learn Rust. I have had a Python course recommended to me.

I just am trying to figure out what my options are. I've gotten serious push back at times for what I felt were innocent activities. Trying to ask the "dumb" questions in hopes of avoiding that.

The links are helpful. Looking them over.

I recognize your username and you’re a precise writer. You’d likely be quite a good developer.

I’m going to give you some unsolicited advice. Start now. If you’re struggling to find a course, start here:

Don’t worry if Rails is the right choice. You might love it or hate it, but regardless, you’ll learn things like writing tests and using version control.

Good luck and have fun.

I'm currently horrendously short of sleep. I've had insomnia for about 8 days. O_o

I don't expect to try to study in earnest until I start sleeping a bit better. Hopefully soon. (Crosses fingers)

Sorry, one other thing. I don’t recognize the existence of stupid/silly questions. If you get stuck, my email address is in my profile.

I know some really smart people who claim that Rails induces narcolepsy, so my last comment might have been more insightful than I thought...:)

Seriously, best of luck. And remember, learning to write code is really just about momentum. Start, have fun and jfgid (just fucking getting it done).

Oh, I didn't notice it was (A)GPL licensed, that's disappointing.
