It's an interactive javascript thingy. Quite interesting. I went through the first 3 "lessons" then they want you to register/sign-up...
I guess it's going to teach a certain type of coding - ie. javacript purely aimed at web type applications...
Still... There does seem to be a lot of interest in "coding" recently (Why coding and not programming?) - it's almost as if people haven't learned to write code in the past 10 years...

I have my own thoughts on this, having learnt to program in school some 34 years back, however we'll see.
