If the programming to a martial arts, the code is probably a martial arts cheats.

Emphasis on hands-on practice of programming teaching, often require learners to read more code + write code. From an online education perspective, there are two questions: first, how to efficiently share code, and second, how to get learners to start writing code more quickly. Traditional community forum and technology blog can solve the problem of sharing code, the existing programming online education platform has mostly integrated the function of online compiling and running code, so as to allow learners to start programming more quickly. Is there a platform that combines both of these tools?

The Geek Label Light Video tool is an interesting combination of these two features. Here is the light video, the first look like a text-formatted PPT. The bright spot is that this "PPT" can record the process of coding the playback code. By clicking on the playback, the user can see how the line of code is written, while listening to a pre-recorded explanation. In addition, this light video is also "programmable", you can change the code in the light video, run the online effect, WYSIWYG. This light video tool allows people who learn to program to read more code + write code at the same time.

So what exactly is a geek tag? You can think of it as a programming online education platform, but it is more willing to position itself as an online learning community. As long as the landing site, users can use light video learning, including js/css/html,java,objective-c,php and other popular language programming courses. These courses are recorded by other users themselves, and the geek tag encourages people to share their programming knowledge. In addition to the course, the Geek tag has a live broadcast, a community to discuss, and a searchable code base.

I think the most important highlight of the geek tag is the Light video tool introduced earlier. The characteristics of this tool, "online learning Community" positioning is more accurate. Founder Terry told 36 Krypton that what they wanted to do was to subvert the traditional technology community and learning style platform. "Find the code, run immediately to see the effect" is the most important target of the geek tag. In this sense, they are not strictly online educational platforms. This differentiation of positioning also helps the Geek label get out of the way in the market.

So, where is the future imagination of geek tags?

I think it may be the programming Consumer-to-consumer learning sharing model that the learning community brings. Light video is a great tool, and a good tool can be useful to everyone of different levels. When users are accustomed to using this tool to share their programming knowledge and learn from other people's programming experience-even when more and more yards of farmers are getting used to finding the code they need in this way, building a good learning atmosphere in the community is a matter of minutes. In this way, the teaching of programming is no longer dependent on Daniel and the Great God, and the Consumer-to-consumer model allows everyone to be both students and teachers.

From the current point of view, the domestic programming learning market is already a "Red Sea", the interest of the entry-level products, including Meng Code, garlic, laboratory building, etc., is a foreign interesting programming website Codecademy followers. Another piece of programming learning is the goal of career planning, including the, Geek College, Wheat College, and focus on it education.
