Brilliant. (Be warned: do anything with the command line in front of non-technical people & you'll be their tech help speed dial forevah. I suggest you learn in stealth mode.)

Finally! I learned HTML/CSS on a windows, and finally got a mac and need to unlock the powers of the built-in ruby that Macs offer. This should be really helpful.
We launched Learn the Command Line after a ton of our users told us they had no idea how to use a fundamental part of their computer -- the command line. With our course, you can learn interactively and, within hours, be a master of your computer! Let us know what you think (and thanks to the awesome team at Codecademy that worked on this!).
@zsims Everyone needs to learn to use the command line. It's super powerful and a lot of the time, quicker than your mouse. This is an awesome addition.
PS. Are you ever going to add Vim/Vi or Emacs? I think that is a pretty logical progression from here. :)
Not sure how related to this product is but...My prof included Codeacademy courses in the school curriculum. It was great, except that because of the hints we could technically "cheat" our way through if things got too complicated. Maybe incorporate a live chat option in addition to the forum so that people wanting to learn can ask a professional directly solving the problem in real-time.
Completed the courses, but will probably head back to really put time into learning it without the time constraints I had because it was a school assignment.
