Do you know Cloudacademy.com / Codecademy.com / Teamtreehouse.com ? How would you compare with them?

I didn't know cloudacademy, cool.

We have livestreamed classes with industry pros. Among them, that I mentioned on the parent comment. There's a lot of real-time collaboration among students, like shared notes, questions and files.

But really, the live classes, those are our best feature.

CodeAcademy is a great way to build up some coding chops, but it doesn't give you the confidence that you'd get from hearing personal advice from the creator of a technology.

CodeAcademy is GarageBand, Platzi is MTV
