#2I love what Codeacademy is doing, but hope they'll be rolling out some meatier lesson content with that 2m round before too long. The entire venturebeat-post-worthy jQuery lessons take about 3 minutes to go through (http://www.codecademy.com/courses/jquery-and-the-dom/1#!/exe...)

#5Loving this product. Especially the fact that you jump right into a lesson when you arrive at the homepage. Deliver value before asking the user for anything. Awesome.

#8I like the product, but I wish it was a bit more involved.
Right now, all you do is 1 simple exercise...and it's really simple stuff. i.e. they give you an example of how to use jQuery to change the color to yellow...and the "practical" experience, is changing the color to red.

#10“It really takes people back to the exciting part of programming, which is building things, breaking things, and seeing how they work,” - reminds me about what I loved about playing with Legos, Logo and BASIC as a child. Way to go Codecadamy team!
