General Assembly launches Dash, a Codecademy-style site that teaches you to code General Assembly launched today a new service designed to help get more people to take advantage of its Web Development courses. Called Dash, users will be able to take courses in HTML, cascading stylesheets, and Javascript right in their browser. It follows in line with what other services like Codecademy, Coursera, and others are doing in the computer programming education space. We interviewed General Assembly’s co-founder and Chief Product Officer Brad Hargreaves who told us that initially Dash was meant to help its students get started in its immersive programs. Interested users can sign up for the service using their Twitter account or email. After successfully authenticating, users can opt to undertake one of four projects, each one more complicated than the last ranging from building a simple website to creating a CSS-powered robot. Just like what you have with Codecademy, Dash’s lessons guides you through the process. Dash is free to use and anyone can sign up for an account.
