General Assembly Launches Dash, A Tool For Coding Newbies

1. STOP INVENTING A NEW AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM FROM SCRATCH.

Damn it. I am serious: use Persona. I know at this point people'd say, well, most people are still going to use providers like gmail. Well, it's better to have a single identity than multiple one.

2. Don't ask people to sign up until you have shown them your features. A demo what it is like to use your service. Like seriously... I consider this whole giant signup button as a crime. You are asking me to provide you my identity and my password and my name before I even had a chance to evaluate your product. If I don't like it that record will sit in your database.

I'd like to see a 2 minute Youtube commerical and/or a bunch of screenshot.

No. This is not how you do business.

I know HTML and CSS and tried out the product. I found it so fun I wanted to go through all the lessons, plus I learned some new HTML 5 tricks I had glossed over.

Possibly easy to confuse with http://kapeli.com/dash. I understand this is completely different, but both fall within the category 'programming'. I'm not a Mac user but I'm aware of the older 'Dash'. (Incidentally, is there a similar offering for Linux? Other than installing the offline documentation for each lib, obviously!)

Nathan made a great product and worked really hard over the last few months to make it perfect!

Learning to code gets more fun, relaxed and personal. I like it.

this is surprisingly addictive...wish there was more already!

best online programming tool i've seen.

This looks like a really great tool.
