#2As someone who is a designer I've always wanted an environment of collaboration to learn programming together with an expert. I've tried books and other things but bridging the gap from Hello World to doing something more complicated than just mad libs is difficult for me. I've signed up for an invite. I hope this happens :)

#3Developer bootcamps are expensive, but offer more than just knowledge. If you're looking to get a job as a software developer, paying for a bootcamp allows you access to experts but also to a network typically geared towards getting you a first job. Access to a network is an invaluable boost in any career, but especially for individuals trying to bootstrap their way into it.
With that said, I'd totally do this because learning Python online while being able to ask questions seems pretty sweet. But I don't know if I would substitute this for an initial education.

That's awesome to hear!

All fair points. I would say that this is a great way to get your feet wet with coding before you decide to take the HUGE life leap of a bootcamp. They're expensive in not only $ terms but also your time.
This way, you can see if you enjoying both coding and conversing about code (which is half of your job as a developer)

Fair points back--plenty of people think they like coding (or think it's something else entirely) without having really done it. Best of luck with it. :)

#7I think this is a great idea, I hope it takes off.

#8Great idea. Is this focused on developers or newbies?

Right now newbies.
But the same principle applies. I want to broaden a bunch of programming skills (especially algorithms) largely on my own time but I'd like a human voice to guide and motivate me from time to time.
If this works out, we'll keep expanding.

Cool ... best of luck. As an intermediate/expert programmer in one language, it would be great to get access to an expert in language B. Certainly worth $100!
