The "start" date was a week ago, but they only put the remedial units (2-part "unit 0") online, and it was put online late.
Additionally, the UI on the code exercises is terrible. Look at the boards. You transpose two characters in a variable name and it fails you with a huge error message that buries your error in loads of useless text.
The testing framework is an open source js framework made by http://pivotallabs.com/ , complaints about the error messages should be directed at them. Regardless, the error message actually told you *exactly* what the problem was "ReferenceError: documetn is not defined" just as Caio-5 mentioned on the Udacity boards. It tells you what it's expecting and then errors.
I've had the opposite experience with Udacity so far.

Between the course launching late and then only with preparatory materials, plus the terrible exercise UI, I'm not very impressed with Udacity so far.

I really don't understand why you are SO angry about a high-quality (yes, it is), *FREE* online course.
Deleteif you don't like it, don't use it.
Deletei'm very happy with the course.

ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to focus on educational games for tablets. One question, it's a webinar or online, I would like to attend.
