#152A little buggy. I seem to have lost my session and logging in produces an error (Invalid email or password.). Also, after completing the courses, some courses showed as incomplete.
Working on fixing user registration and login - we're having issues because of all of the traffic. Try us again soon and everything should be working. Thanks!

#153Hah, it even keeps the cursor from blinking. I wonder if it's hardcoded or if it actually picked that up from my system settings. I've never done Javascript before (although I do or did Python/C/C++/D/Pascal/AHK), this will be interesting. Great job!
Thanks! Hope you can pick up Javascript and add it to your arsenal with Codecademy.

#156awesome i proposed a similar idea yet a different way of teaching one of the popular web languages at a Start-Up Weekend. Most there dont know how to code, but none too surprising none were interested in creating a service to learn how to code. I'm not bitter that my idea wasn't selected as these non-coders wanted to create a fashion site or the AirBnB for restrooms (HA) :) Well Im going to get started on that idea I…
good luck with the idea! looking forward to seeing how it develops and thanks for checking us out.
cool be on the look out for http://tymecrunch.com - nothing there just yet. But were working on it now locally :)

#157Not sure what's wrong with the site, but the top left is just one big empty area of white space and the get started button does nothing at all. I've tried both FF 6.0 and Chrome.
You have to enable/allow javascript (for the host itself as well as for facebook)
Ah, well if it requires FB, that would explain it. I was behind a corporate firewall that blocks FB.

#158Fantastic - I am going to see how my daughter goes with this (8 years old) - previously has been python which was great - but she could do this on her own.
