I've tried codeacademy briefly before (Spent ~8 hours total on there). After only 10 minutes on codeschool it feels a lot better. It seems like it's much easier to learn it show you 'real life applications' which is one thing that I thought codeacadmy didn't do well.

I'm definetly going to be spending some time on codeschool, seems like a great site.

Insightful review! What about HN? It seems you've spent about 10 minutes here. That should qualify you to review it, right?

I can't tell if you're comment is meant to be sarcastic ('10 minutes is not long enough to review') or not but i'm going to go with not:

I've been lurking on HN for a few months, have recently come back to it after a month hiatus and wanted to comment on something so signed up this morning :)

I love this site, I'm usually a redditor but I find that there is much more interesting and gripping content here whereas reddit is more of a quick laugh. I do find that I can easily waste an hour on the front page here but I just learn so much in that hour! I'm sure that I'll stick around and find out lots of new stuff.

Wow, bitter much? People can lurk on HN without signing up.

Compare this to these other paysites where they cannot judge the material until they have paid for it.

Pretty sure the allegation is that the parent only signed up to post a positive comment about codeschool, hence: spam.

Well, I didn't sign up just to comment on it, You can see that by looking on my comment history: My first comment was about the uses of facebook. Ah well.
