I think all these sites (treehouse, code academy etc) are going to be hit with class action lawsuits for implying that their app/whatever will make you proficient at coding, and even land you a job. There are no shortcuts to becoming good at coding. It takes much longer and is much harder than these sites make it seem.

  in case you missed why your comment didn't add to the conversation: Khan Academy and the article are both not about coding or learning to code. This article is about math.

    Khan Academy did start to include a programming portion at some point.

      yes, Khan Academy has lessons on a huge number of topics. no, nothing in the posted article has anything to do with "implying that [Khan Academy] will make you proficient at coding"
