Why I Recommend Against Hackety Hack

Spent last year learning to code. I had the same problem with Hackity Hack, it really didn't teach me anything. It was a huge handholding operation.

I did Team Treehouse last month and it was infinitely better. This is no criticism of Steve, who is clearly working hard, but just a realistic view of what tools you should consider if you want to learn to program.

Thanks! I actually consider 'a huge handholding operation' to be a big compliment: that's the point of a tool like this. You obviously didn't need handholding, but many do: they're my market. I'm glad Treehouse was able to help you. Keep building cool stuff!
