Hi folks -- I'm not a scientist, but have been involved in informal education through Wikipedia for a long time (I helped run the Wikimedia Foundation for 7 years). In recent weeks I've become more interested in the art & science of teaching how to code, in particular. I love what Software Carpentry is doing and look forward to lurking on and occasionally participating on this list.
I'm curious how you all keep up with the huge amount of new tutorials and materials that are being produced on an ongoing basis. For example, I recently discovered http://nodeschool.io/ , which is an excellent, ever-growing set of JavaScript resources specifically for JavaScript / node JS development. I am now literally watching changes to their website repo to watch for any new tutorials they release, and am following a few relevant folks on Twitter. But that doesn't seem very sustainable. Is there an existing place a lot of you follow - a blog, a Twitter account, a Reddit subreddit, etc. - to keep up to date, and/or to post new resources, other than this list itself? If not, would folks here be interested in creating something like that? A subreddit might be a good place, and I've made a small start at [1] if folks find that approach useful.
