Learn Java and More Online (My 1st real Rails app)
I've been working for about 8 months on http://www.Learneroo.com, a site to teach programming and more through challenges. I created the site and all the content on it, and I'm looking for some feedback. Thanks!

In plain words
Learneroo is an online learning platform that teaches programming and other subjects through challenges.
