That's great and all, but why pay for an online coding school in the first place? The web has a ton of freely available programming learning materials.

Why pay to watch movies on Netflix when there are so many free videos on youtube?

Why pay to buy games on steam when there are so many free games on sourceforge.net?

Why pay for Google Apps or mail chimp or any of those million other tools when there are free alternatives?

I would guess codeschool is trying to prove to us that it is worth paying for.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I wish these courses would be less newbish. I might not know Objective-C, but I know what a variable is.

You can. Codeschool courses allow you to skip the video presentation and attempt the exercises.
