If you are looking for a new approach in learning how to code, check out CodeHS. While LearnStreet is an amazing tool, and another great way to be introduced to programming, the site immediately feels very similar to Codecademy. A responsive console is very cool, but I don't think it is the best way to connect with absolute beginners.

Our philosophy is that the key to teaching beginners is on providing help from real people, and that is what we are doing at CodeHS. Would be grateful for any feedback from the HN community.
