Try Rails for Zombies (free) to get an idea of the quality. I find it worth it.

Since you need to pass tasks before you get on to the next video, it means you really learn and pick up the skills rather than just watch a video, think you learnt something, and then move on to something new. That's not for everyone but that sort of enforced progress clearly has value for some - only you will know if that approach suits you though.

To me, it's definitely worth it for people trying to pickup a new skill like programming.

I hope they pitch this to schools, particularly middle school and high school. Something like this could potentially handle the curriculum for a programming course. It would be a lot less expensive than paying someone full time to teach a course.

We need more of this.

I was invited to be a part of the beta and can confirm that the quality of the RBP videos is top-notch.
