I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 x64, firefox 1 billion, and neither of the buttons seem to do anything... if I have to login to try it, you should say so on the page.
Edit: I refreshed a few times and it seems to be working now, before, it just showed a "next" button and a "grade it" button, and a text box that said "ruby console".
Nice work guys , it was fun learning like this. But when I had to go back after finishing the course , the share window , i mean the option to tweet and deploy still follow me in all my previous windows. It would be great if you can provide a close button :)
I just get an interactive ruby and it wants me to move through a bunch of steps... Just visiting the page I have no idea where I am going and why I should invest my time. It looks like a site to teach absolutely new programmers how to code Ruby.
Interesting, I've yet to see such a nicely streamlined code-to-deploy process, in a browser. Cloud9 + github + heroku comes close (and is more powerful), but the initial cost of getting hello world working is much higher than bloc.
I feel like it's worth mentioning that if you like learning through an application interface similar to this, I really recommend http://codeschool.com.
While I don't have any constructive comments to offer with regard to the product itself, I feel obliged to convey my encouragement and appreciation. You're doing great work. Keep getting better.
Not sure if this is on purpose or legacy code, but the Tweet button and Like button (both of which I clicked :]) both link and speak of "DojoApp"/dojoapp.com

console doesn't work to well with the xoom keyboard.
Looks like the focus goes away and comes back with every key press. I suspect android tablet wasnt a target for the demo :-)
Your code validation checks for necessity without checking for sufficiency. In other words while
will be accepted. So will something like Also, when I attempted to deploy some 'malicious' code it didn't deploy (great), but it would be nice to get some message as to why my deploy failed.Small things but something worth accounting for since the goal of the site seems to be making taking that first step as pain free as possible.
