Now this is learning. @codecademy

Screenclip

Welcome to Codecademy! I heard about this on a recent episode of The Social Hour and was immediately interested. Basically, it's a code parser with built in interactive lessons. They start simple, with hello world type exersices, and build up from there. The framework allows for much more complex lessons, and different programming languages as well.

Add in the social elements, and gamification with points and badges, and you got yourself a real winner.

I blew through the first course this evening, a nice refresher for Javascript considering I haven't done serious coding in years. Really looking forward to what sort of new content lands here.
