I wish CodeLesson did a better job showing you what a course of theirs is like. If you have taken one before could you share what it was like?

- jeffreymcmanus 16y agoThis is a FAQ: http://codelesson.com/faq http://codelesson.com/faq CodeLesson courses are taught online; there are weekly assignments but no set meeting times for classes, which works well if you have a day job, as most CodeLesson students do. That said, there is plenty of structure, including weekly readings, message board Q&As, and several hands-on assignments each week that are evaluated by each course's instructor. Most courses have screencast videos and some have live chats.
- duck 16y agoThanks Jeffrey. I think it would be great if you put your summary from above as the top of the FAQ. I finally read through the entire thing and saw everything you mentioned, but it is just too much for a quick overview (to answer the first question that came to my mind - is this worth $xxx?).
- jeffreymcmanus 16y agoI agree that we do need to do better at conveying what our courses are like. We'll do more in the near future to make that happen -- a guided tour on codelesson.com is one obvious and easy thing we have planned. Another thing we're planning are free courses -- our first one (on programming the Etsy API) will take place in December. Taking a free course might be a good entree to what CodeLesson is about if you're unsure as to whether it's for you or not.
