Does anyone here know the people who are working with code 7370? I'd love to help in some way. I don't know if they're looking for code reviews or tutoring, or what I could provide, but I'd love to be of help. It seems like providing the inmates access to something like http://kapeli.com/dash http://kapeli.com/dash or mdn locally would be a godsend.

I know some of the people that were working on the program. I think the easiest way to start helping out would be to attend one of the related meetups: http://www.meetup.com/hackreactorx/events/218681201/ http://www.meetup.com/hackreactorx/events/218681201/ (I believe there's a meetup like this once a month or so.)

  It looks like they would like volunteers to help build the curriculum. Is this curriculum open source?

Same here, I'm only about 30 minutes away from the prison, I wonder if they would be open to book donations? I'm sure some O'Reilly and CS fundamentals books would help them out when they are out of class and don't have access to a computer.

  Book donations: yes please! We have a library but we are building a permanent program (not a one-time thing) so a bigger library is better.

I'm a cofounder at Hack Reactor -- we build the cirriculum and are running the daily events. Please contact me (shawn@hackreactor.com) with your interest. We have local copies of MDN installed and are adding a dash equivalent over xmas. (Dash is osx only -- I forget the equivalent for linux, which is all the institution could afford.)

  The free software version is Zeal (http://zealdocs.org/ http://zealdocs.org/).

    Another alternative: https://github.com/rgarcia/dochub https://github.com/rgarcia/dochub is a node application that can be installed locally which serves up a pile of relevant web development documentation. Online/demo version of the app here: http://dochub.io/ http://dochub.io/ but that's not loading for me at the moment.
