Code Academy Learning Path?

[xeroc]

I could give an introduction on how to use websockets with js if you are interested

We have a big blue button server on standby just waiting for people who want to teach.  :)

My thinking is we put up content like that on a separate portion of beyond bitcoin.

What do I need to do then?

That's an awsome idea Fuzzy.

I learned some AutoHotKey to build scripts to play faster when multitabling poker.
In june I learned how to build a website from scratch with HTML and CSS. (A new BitShares French ConneXion is about to be released)

I would love to keep learning !
You can count me in !!!

This is a great idea that will help gel the community in my opinion.
A really nice idea that can help bridge the gap between non-technical investors and developers.
Theres no reason anyone can't learn these skills right now, but the issue i have always found is the best way to get started.

Brilliant idea! I started to learn to code over year ago, because of bitshares and crypto in general. I would glad to do it together!

I knew some Python, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and jQuery in process.  I want to apply this skill in some way in real world and maybe it would be beneficial for community. So, I think, that we not only need to learn together, but also build some simple project together. That way we will learn from each other and maybe create something useful for community.

But I really don't know there to start. Maybe someone has idea?

Only real opportunity I see for now is  development of Bitshares Wallet, maybe we as newbies could't help much, but we can review, test, find bugs and discuss with each other how it all works.

I would very much appreciate that.

Very nice fuzzy.   I would love to take part.  I have taken most of those courses on code academy already, but would love to go through them again and have crypto fanatics to discuss them with.  I am a learn by doing type of guy and if I don't have a fun reason to use the skills I end up not retaining them.  I have also heard good things about http://exercism.io/ but have never gotten too far into it.

I would also be interested in joining. I am curious what skills/languages might be the best or easiest to pick up, which could be used to help the community. I have also started looking at http://www.theodinproject.com but haven't gotten past the first few intro lessons.

Both of these sites look good too. Now the question I'd ask now is whether those sites give points for learning?

I'll participate as I think this might actually get me to complete some courses and learn coding finally. I keep starting them but end up getting distracted with life.

 +5% fuzzy.
I will join up for this, especially with learning any skills that can be put to work on the project immediately.

I'm down for css/javascript.

[unreadPostsSinceLastVisit]

I would participate.

I am planning to start a weekly Study Group where members of the community can join and learn to code together once a week.  Naturally there will be time to do it on one's own (without the group) as well, but I think it helps to have a weekly group for the same purpose. 

My questions, though, are:
A) does https://www.codecademy.com/learn have a particular learning path that would be most beneficial to our ecosystem?
B) are there any of these subjects that are low on the list of priorities?  High on the list?

I spoke with kencode a bit about this, and walked away thinking html/css/javascript would be the way forward.  This is because once a little learning crew gains a solid level of understanding of how to work with those, they will be able to work learn react.js--which is apparently where we need to go.  I am interested in others' thoughts though as well, of course.  :)
