CourseMaker – Interactive Course Builder for Programming Courses
- haffi112 6y agoAre there any examples courses that give a glimpse of how a finalised course looks like on this platform?
- christophergs 6y agoNot using the interactive coding lectures yet, but gives a feel: https://pythonformarketers.com https://pythonformarketers.com
- friendofafriend 6y agoHi, I commented on the original post but I suppose it got buried [1]. This product looks great, just wondering what kind of computing power is available to teachers for the interactive coding examples. Can it handle machine learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow) for example? Congrats (again) to the founder on the launch.

- ampdepolymerase 6y agoThere is also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26464998 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26464998
- friendofafriend 6y agoCodeamigo definitely looks like a nice alternative as well, though I'm really keen on Python tools at the moment. Appreciate the heads up nonetheless!
- christophergs 6y agoThe interactive coding can handle quick jobs (sub 30second with scikit-learn). For heavier loads, we're working on a Google Colab integration
- friendofafriend 6y agoSub 30 is good. Definitely looking forward to that Colab integration though! Thanks for the reply.
- zxspectrum1982 6y agoNo free plan for free courses? That would be useful for open source projects.
- shash7 6y agoSeems like a young product. If anything, it should be paid. Best way to kill your product early on is to give it for free.
- zxspectrum1982 6y agoBest way to promote a young product is to give it for free to people creating free content. That will bring more users. Content is what brings users.
- AlchemistCamp 6y agoIt worked out well for WordPress, Github, Trello, Discord and many, many others.
- christophergs 6y agoWe can't do it because we're bootstrapped and have costs which scale (streaming, code execution). However our GatsbyJS theme is open-source: https://github.com/CourseMaker/gatsby-theme-coursemaker https://github.com/CourseMaker/gatsby-theme-coursemaker
- plondon514 6y agoHi! This looks really cool, as someone also working on a platform for interactive programming courses (https://codeamigo.dev https://codeamigo.dev, mentioned in this thread as well) I just want to commend you for the beautiful layout and design execution. Congrats on launching and best of luck!
- christophergs 6y agoThanks!
- utf_8x 6y agoAre there any similar course builder tools that allow you to "fake" the language? I'd like to make a course for Papyrus[0], the scripting language used for modding Fallout and Elder Scrolls games but there is no runtime for this language outside the game and it wouldn't really make sense running it that way anyway... (So basically just verify the entered code matches some kind of "template" but with tolerance for different new-lines, indentation, variable names, etc.) [0] https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Category:Papyrus https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Category:Papyrus
