I wish these courses would be less newbish. I might not know Objective-C, but I know what a variable is.

    You can. Codeschool courses allow you to skip the video presentation and attempt the exercises.

  This was one of the great things about the book Accelerated C++ when I was picking up C++ but had already been programming for a few years. This sort of thing seems harder to find for other languages though.

  We try never to make assumptions that would exclude beginners in our intro courses. As someone already mentioned, it's easy to jump ahead if you already know that stuff. If someone isn't as familiar as you are with variables and we don't cover it, they might give up because too many things go over their head. That's not what we want. Bear in mind, you're judging Code School based on our more beginner-oriented intro courses, whereas most of our paid courses are aimed at the intermediate level. That's why we like having an event like the Free Weekend, so you can get a good taste of all that we offer.
