We try never to make assumptions that would exclude beginners in our intro courses. As someone already mentioned, it's easy to jump ahead if you already know that stuff.
If someone isn't as familiar as you are with variables and we don't cover it, they might give up because too many things go over their head. That's not what we want.
Bear in mind, you're judging Code School based on our more beginner-oriented intro courses, whereas most of our paid courses are aimed at the intermediate level. That's why we like having an event like the Free Weekend, so you can get a good taste of all that we offer.
