They are real. Some of the students are international where English is not their first language. I'm happy to put you in touch with these students, or any past students if you'd like to hear more from them.

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy the content!

This course is comprehensive and goes from beginner to some fairly advanced content. No previous coding experience is required. You will be guided from the beginning.

Because why not?

No they are free. You just need to sign up for a free account to see them.

Send a message to [email protected] and you'll get hooked up with a free Cloud9 account.

Sweet! I think you'll like Rails. Message me if you have questions along the way. I'm here to help.

Perfect! Message me if you have questions along the way. I'm here to help.

Thank you! Your words mean a lot. I agree that learning by doing is especially useful for coding and it's always great when non-developers pick up developer skills (it makes you better at what you do, and developers love you more too)!

Message me if you have any questions along the way. I'm here to help.

Do you have a website for your course? I'd love to check it out.

I agree - I especially love that it allows students to bypass many of the headaches of installing the right dependencies (something beginners struggle with for hours or days). Cloud9 let's you get straight to coding.

Not sure if you're into Javascript development, but check out HyperDev.com - it's awesome! It takes things to a whole new level of fast.

I think we have Docker to thank for progress on this front.

Cool. Message me if you have any questions along the way. I'm here to help!

Interesting point. I think job markets don't move as fast as technology itself. Just because a new framework comes out (and yes, in the web world, it feels like a new one pops up daily), doesn't mean an employer will say, "Ok team, let's rewrite everything in React, or Angular, or (insert your favorite new trend of the year)." A search for web development jobs will show openings for frameworks that came out 15 years ago. It's more important that a student learns to code and understands the fundamentals of problem solving and program design than worry about the latest frameworks or tooling.

The content is brand new. Just finished recording it. I teach HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Ruby on Rails at General Assembly.
