Search results:

"Backbone.js": 0 "Medicine": 0 "Physiology": 1 "Design": 7+ results, 2 of which are books and wouldn't qualify as "online learning resources" "Android": 4 results, all paid "Objective-C": 1 result, paid "Ruby on Rails": 2 results, both railstutorial.org(1 is the amazon book, 1 is the website) "Machine Learning": the URL for ml-class.org doesn't show? All I see is a headline for "Machine Learning" with no description. Why would I click that?

Great idea, but right now there aren't enough search results for me to consider using this service again in the future.

Suggestions: Consider manually curating some of the common search terms for now. Also, put a link somewhere for creators of online learning resources to add their products. If I owned DiveInToRadiationTherapy.com I would want to add my product to your search engine.



This is precisely what I was going to say.

I'd like to add that "coffeescript" returned zero results and "javascript" a lowly two (both paid courses from udemy.com), even with the wonderful codeyear.com and codeacademy.com.


You are right. We wanted to launch fast, that's why we couldn't include all resources we wanted. They are very high on our list of "next to be added" :) Thanks for taking the time and checking it out!


Books who have kindle versions qualify as online learning resources (since you can download and read instantly on all devices). We included books because some topics have just few courses/screencasts.

Stuff like description, ratings + user-submitted content will of course follow :)

We'll work on the search algo, thanks! :)
