I can attest that the methodology really does work - at least for my son. I bought it when he turned 6 and he was able to learn with just a tiny help from me. Thanks for building a great learning experience!

Well written. The topics are explained carefully and the interactive examples are very nice. Thank you Ben!
How did you embed the examples into the post?

Haven in Indianapolis/Fishers, IN - http://www.joinhaven.com/
About Haven: At Haven, we believe home ownership should be a lot better. We are building a free, intuitive mobile app and website that equips homeowners with predictive technology to help them become better homeowners, by learning and anticipating a home’s needs while saving time and money. Haven sends reminders to users when it’s time to make an update, recommends licensed, insured service professionals, accepts payment, and serves as a digital organizer of receipts and records, without the user ever leaving the app. It gives confidence and peace of mind to homeowners by helping them to be responsible and proactive in home maintenance decisions. We're venture-funded, growing, and looking to disrupt the home services space.

As if Google's Go programming language was not already named poorly enough, now somebody creates a CD service called Go. Very confusing!

I do wonder if this is a valid technique if your sales target is businesses, not individual consumers. Perhaps some variant?

Here's a gist I created a couple months ago that kind of explains the performance characteristics of goroutine per loop vs. partitioning with goroutines

This is on 7.0.2 on an iPhone 4s. Crashes Safari reliably 4 times in a row. Maybe it's just my bad luck.
Anyway, looking at it on my laptop now. It looks great!

The linked web page crashes Safari on iOS 7. Mobile first, eh?
