I am a seasoned veteran at online courses.  I really got into them when my son started taking them about 3 yrs ago.  Oh they work, they work so well.  He learned coding right, object oriented coding from the start.  So now he doesn’t have all those bad coding habits I learned.  I wrote a capture the flag program with 20 personalities, one human player and 20 machine players.  I have no idea how to do something like that, or if I did, mine would suck.  His doesn’t.  He’s age 10.  Wish I coulda had a quarter of his opportunities.
