They are real. Some of the students are international where English is not their first language. I'm happy to put you in touch with these students, or any past students if you'd like to hear more from them.


You're welcome! Hope you enjoy the content!


This course is comprehensive and goes from beginner to some fairly advanced content. No previous coding experience is required. You will be guided from the beginning.


That sounds nice, How Does it cover HTML, JS and Ruby on Rails in Depth? I assume that would take a long time lol


Because why not?


Lol, come on, reveal. You taught so many students. Why suddenly turn off the revenue?

Sweet! I think you'll like Rails. Message me if you have questions along the way. I'm here to help.


Are the later parts paid only or unlocked when progressed to certain point? 'User Memberships and Accepting Subscription Payments' and 'User Profiles and Relational Databases requires' shows message 'Lecture contents locked'.


No they are free. You just need to sign up for a free account to see them.


Perfect! Message me if you have questions along the way. I'm here to help.


Do you have a website for your course? I'd love to check it out.


Oh sorry, I don't have a proper one, just when receiving new interns/researchers. Most of our research tools run on Linux but it is quite easy to destroy valuable data, so a c9 sandbox works wonders :)


I agree - I especially love that it allows students to bypass many of the headaches of installing the right dependencies (something beginners struggle with for hours or days). Cloud9 let's you get straight to coding.

Not sure if you're into Javascript development, but check out HyperDev.com - it's awesome! It takes things to a whole new level of fast.

I think we have Docker to thank for progress on this front.


Cool. Message me if you have any questions along the way. I'm here to help!
