Stephen--

It would be great to hear your thoughts on CodeHS.

>but with lab/office hours -- where people can work at their own pace but in the same space as others at their same level, and people with more advanced skills, who can give advice and mentor

This is literally a description of what we are trying to build at CodeHS.

>With Codecademy, it's easy to get discouraged because of the lack of people around -- you can go onto the forums, but there are no humans in proximity to commiserate or discuss hard problems.

Yup. And every beginner gets stuck. If you like our approach, contact us at [e-mail]!

It sounds like a great program for high schoolers. What about us older people?

Older people can use it as well. Weve had students as young as 5, 9, 10, and as old as 80. Right now we are focusing on HS, but any beginner can try.
