Many non-programmers at my company (CrowdFlower) are interested in learning how to code. We've tried having the engineers run lessons with some success, but I think it might work better to use a standardized curriculum.
Some of the online courses seem a little too html and javascript intensive. We do some of that but what would be immediately useful to everyone is more scripting and basic SQL and data mining skills. Can anyone recommend some online resources?
Has anyone tried to this type of thing at their company and can they suggest any learnings or best practices? I'm thinking of offering a bonus to employees who hit some milestone - any suggestion for some goal that might be reasonable?
