learning new languages and tools, alone but with help.

I know that many of us are used to learn how to write code in any new language in the hard way, that means doing examples from some web page or reading a book, then we run our code and if something is not working properly, we can use some of our helping options, like 50/50, call a friend or ask the audience.. anyway we will end using google.

What if i tell you that it is possible to get help interactively while doing examples, with explanations about what are you doing, and hints in case you are lost as Lindbergh's son? Yes. it is possible, I just started using codeacademy for learning Ruby in the right way.

But, the thing I like most is that you can teach also, so it is possible to help others to get that knowledge that you hold for any specific language, API, etc.

My invitation is to try this, maybe learn python or ruby, and if you enjoy it learn more and more, but if you have some extra time, please give it back and build some interesting course.

Enjoy the learning.
