I'm a big fan of Code School, even though I haven't covered them much here on New Method. They have a similar mix of video lessons and in-browser coding that Treehouse has. However, Code School tends to be aimed more at intermediate web developers with a heavy focus on learning languages and advanced techniques.
Their latest release is an example of their leaning toward intermediate. It's a short video lesson on deploying a web app to Heroku, a popular web app hosting platform. I watched it. It's good. From their marketing email:
"Because of its elegant deployment environment, Heroku is the most popular hosting solution for Rails applications. In this screencast, Jay McGavren shows you how to set up a basic Rails application for deploying with Heroku. You will also learn the ideal workflow and best practices for maintaining your app on the platform."
You'll need a free Heroku account, a web app to deploy, and basic Git knowledge for this lesson to make sense.
