(un)classroom: Learn PHP and build apps in your browser

We're actually moving to guest login and we will be removing the necessity to login but thanks for your feedback.

The login is required because otherwise we can't save and pre-load the code for you the next time you visit the same activity.

Edit: what I mean to say is the app itself is secure and so is our sandbox that runs the code and this is more of a UI issue that we'll fix immediately by removing the login prompt.

Edit: The paywall is going away as well :).

If your client-side code doesn't even require server-side validation, it does make it difficult to trust or believe your sandbox or app is secure.

As I said, it's a cool idea, but if you want developers to recommend this to people starting out, you need to make those developers confident that they're giving people something well-written and secure.

Edit: Well, cheers to your edits! As someone who is often helping people with learning PHP, I will definitely keep an eye on this project as something to recommend :)

Point taken and thanks for your feedback. We've removed the pay wall for the PHP course for now until we fix the UI.

Thanks and you can also reach me at [email protected].
