I am thinking about taking a course from them. I was hoping that I would be able to get some reviews from you guys about whether or not I should do it. Has anyone taken a course? Any thoughts?

I can't speak about the site or the quality of the instructors but i have nothing but appreciation for Charles Max Wood, the instructor for the Ruby and Rails course. I think he also conducts the ruby programming language course. Check out his free online videos on rails at www.teachmetocode.com. They are free and will probably give you a good idea about the pace at which he conducts his online classes.

Charles teaches Rails; Peter Cooper teaches the Ruby language.

I'm a founder of CodeLesson and also an instructor. Happy to answer questions here or privately at my username at gmail.

How can I become an instructor?

Why hide the pricing behind a link that just reveals it inline?

The pricing isn't bad... it's just unusual to hide it.

We're not hiding it -- just keeping it out of the way.

The principal user intention on the course page is to learn about what's in the course and who's teaching it. Most of our courses have multiple discounts; there's not always a single price.

Early testing and user feedback revealed that students found a giant price list to be confusing to navigate, so the choice was to either get rid of the discounts or make the list less obtrusive. Subsequent testing suggested that we made the correct choice.
