This is the start-up field I currently have the biggest interest in. Right now, I am using Codelesson, and while the course I am taking has yet to start, it shows some interesting promise - the biggest of which is the names of the people teaching the courses and the badges awarded to your public profile for completing them. The toughest nut to crack, to me, is convincing potential employers of the importance of the courses, and what they - and the gamification badges - tell about the user. I am trying to think of ways to leverage services like these for (extra) resumé-building, at least for people with little hands-on experience in start-ups and companies. Just look at [Facebook's puzzles](https://www.facebook.com/careers/puzzles.php https://www.facebook.com/careers/puzzles.php). It's difficult to gauge skill and qualification, which applies both to finding some metric for the usefulness of all these courses and to the people who complete them (and in the way they do it).
