This is the kind of work that can help the market. They can become huge if they start teaching other programming languages.

"So much knowledge, so fast; it's glorious" oh dear god I've played way too much halo.

Am I the only one who was thinking SQL injection?

 

[alidan]

the title made me think this was a bait thing to get people to go there and get some kind of virus.

good going for them, heres hopeing they expand to c+

 

[blubbey]

Certainly not.

So, why is all the fuss about this? There have been plenty of sites doing this. One example is w3schools that teaches javascript, html, css, asp.net, php, sql, among many other languages.

As a BA in Computer Science I can tell you that for many people learning to code can be earthier a terrible task or some thing that changes how you view almost every thing in your life if you enjoy it enough , coding can really help with critical thinking and problem solving. And as some one who spent hundreds and hundreds of hours on w3schools between html ,sql , asp and xml I find this site a bit easier to use and learn from.

It looks nice but I also discovered a site critical of W3Schools. They have many alternative references there.

Pffft, who learns programming by following lessons? Do Hello world, find a reference and start making stuff.

Bah. I started back with k&r, using vi and gcc. Now apparently text books are too difficult to understand.

 

[slicedtoad]

^ it is much faster to learn with something like Codecademy (though it's not very large atm) than with a textbook.
Textbooks have their benefits but they're boring and slow paced. Why not learn the same stuff, just as thoroughly, quicker and easier?

 

[Novulux]

I checked it out when it came out, pretty cool but it didn't have much yet.
There are some similar projects for a few other languages like Ruby.

 

[eddieroolz]

I call for a similar tutorial site for C#, Java and Perl!

I honestly came here thinking this was about some website teaching people SQL injection and somebody got 2.5m hits from it...
nice to hear something good for once.

 

[amk-aka-Phantom]

Wow, this is actually quite useful. I'm learning Java right now and thought that JavaScript would be close to it, but apparently there're some differences, and this site might help to find out about them.

 

[jabliese]

@amk-aka-phanton Javascript has nothing to do with Java, blame Microsoft.
