The Professor
Gregg Pollack
Gregg is most passionate about taking complex topics and teaching them in the most efficient way possible. He's helped build a few technology companies including Envy Labs, a Ruby on Rails consultancy in downtown Orlando, and Code School (where you are right now). He also runs Orlando's yearly BarCamp, the Orlando Ruby Users Group, and Orlando Tech Events newsletter. Hobbies include theatre, dance, podcasting, Game of Thrones, good scotch, learning how to run a business "the hard way", and using way too many commas in a single paragraph (apparently).

I had little JavaScript experience and no jquery experience at all when I took this course. I felt great taking the challenges and the fact that you actually have to think your way thru and not only repeat what you'd just been told is great for actually learning what you've been told. After I finished the course I sent and email to my co-workers recomending everyone to take it.
