Code School - 12 Comprehensive Courses and Growing

Code School is an online learning resource. From the comfort of your browser you are able to learn about basic and advanced web technologies in your own pace. Each course consists of several lessons in the form of video tutorials. After each tutorial you can prove your knowledge on exercises additionally provided. Videos don't fill your evenings but are a reasonable ten to fifteen minutes long.

As of today, twelve courses can be consumed, if you decide to enroll - as Code School puts it - to their student program. Instead of having to pay each course separately, Code School follows the concept of an educational flatrate. Each student pays 25 Dollars per month and gains access to all available courses, exercises, screen casts, whatever. Enrollment is not a long-term contract, but can be decided on from month to month. Though, if you sign up for a year right away, Code School gives you three months for free. Team rates are also available. Courses are kept in sync with the rapid development pace modern web technologies run at.

Our 7 lesson piece "Assembling Sass" is not going to squeeze any money out of your pockets though. If you claim your free course before the end of January 2013, you will be granted free lifetime access to "Assembling Sass". So, don't hesitate to sign up for your free account. All you need to tell Code School is your mail address. Furthermore you need to create a user-name and a password, that's all. No other data, especially no financial data, is being asked for.

Assembling Sass - 7 Lessons and a Whole Lot of Exercises

I went halfway through "Assembling Sass" already and so far I am really delighted. The pace is not too slow, yet not too fast. The "professor" Nick Walsh, along with his assistants is able to talk about the relatively dry matter of Sass without letting you drift off into a serious snooze. Actually I found Nick to be quite entertaining. I had fun with all the ampersands and stuff...

"Assembling Sass" definitely is a professional production. Besides watching the video casts on the course's web page, you can also download the videos to your desktop or mobile device even. This can come in handy if you like to bridge time while commuting or during these special family events with Uncle Hugo and Auntie Mildred. Downloads are available in SD and HD alike. Exercises after each video strengthen your abilities to correctly use what you have learned.

Concluding I can only advise you to head on over to Code School immediately to claim your free course.
