Ask HN: What are the most impressive examples of online/software-based courses?

The internet itself and some of its fine institutions like wikipedia obviously game changing resources. That said, I’m asking about more structured approaches where “students” start with the intention of getting from point A to B.

I suppose that the description of A->B fits well with the idea of programmed learning[1] and CodeAcademy basically fits that kind of pedagogy. The limits of CodeAcademy and programmed learning are that ->B is tuned to the provider's goals rather than the student's.

Thanks. That's actually not a bad way of delimiting course/resource.

a good place to start is codeschool from pluralsight or freecodecamp if you are interested in full stack web development.
