The Coursebook is a website and iPhone app to discover, track, and share great learning experiences.
The Coursebook was started by Alex Scialom after he became frustrated with his search for materials to learn how to code. A Google search for 'learn ruby on rails' returns 4 million results, unorganized, polluted with spam and advertising. Which ones are the best, and where to start?
The Coursebook connects lifelong-learners to great learning resources that match their needs.
“We picked The Coursebook because it levels the playing field of content providers and provides an interesting distribution model. At the same time it has a growth model that has the potential to become a big business.”
Phoenix M. Wang, Co-Founder & Managing Director, Startl
