[colug-432] Code School

[Rick Hornsby]

Was poking around in rnelson0's[1] comprehensive set of Puppet tutorials looking for some guidance on roles+profiles when I came across Code School[2]. The site looks like someone put a significant amount of time and care into it - at least from a graphic design perspective.

I've only been through the "TryGit" course so far, but I'm probably going to do (and pay for) the other 3 git courses. Even after a couple of years in the git space (having come from SVN years ago), still sometimes have a little bit of a hard time wrapping my head around git. 

There is some free content, but most of it is behind a subscription wall. The range of topics offered by the site isn't as expansive as say, lynda.com, but is much more technical than anything lynda offers and has some interactive bits. The main topics are Ruby (appears to be Rails focused?), Javascript, HTML/CSS, iOS, Git, and "Electives". Electives is a basket of random things like Google Drive API, R, and SQL.  There's also some ancillary(?) stuff about vagrant, docker, etc in the Screencasts section.
