"Where Codecademy is really about teaching you to code, Programr is like an online practice ground for creating projects, sharing them with friends, participating in contests, and taking online IT classes."

"If there’s one site in particular that puts you in the driver’s seat, it’s Programr. It’ll hold your hand as you enter the real world of coding."

"Programr users are given the chance to show off and display the product of their learning. The apps can be tinkered with or embedded to other sites in the same way that you can display a video or text on a blog or website."

"If you’ve ever done or wanted to build an iPhone app, you know you pretty much need a Mac to get the job done. As of today, we’ve got a brilliant new workaround, and it’s super simple — nothing to install, nothing to download. It’s an iOS lab and iPhone simulator all running in the browser, courtesy of the guys at Programr."

"Learning languages like Java, C++, C# and PHP is no longer something that is done within a classroom. Programr enables people who have no prior knowledge of such languages learn all there is to know using their computers, in the comfort of their own rooms."

"One of the biggest handicaps when trying to learn a new programming language is the lack of proper tools. These may include having access to a server, installing databases and many other tools before you can even write a single line of code. Programr changes all that by letting you do everything in your browser window."

"Budding Android developers looking to submerge their coding digits right this second should point their browsers at Programr, where you can not only cook up Android apps without leaving the comfort of Chrome, Firefox, etcetera, but download them in phone-ready form, making it a cinch to share them with friends or test them on your own hardware."
