Mulitiple workspaces?

My 15 y/o son and I are learning to code together, Is it possible for him to have his own Treehouse WS as we like the automation of it that simple notepad doesn't compete with?

Hi Darren,

Someone else will definitely correct me if I'm wrong, but simple answer being 'No'. You can how ever create multiple workspaces for the same point in a course, and then have yourself write in one workspace, then open the second workspace and compare code. But I think you would need multiple accounts for your son to own his own workspace for all the courses you follow.

It might be worth your while to buy him his own account, that way his workspaces as well as his forum participation, points accrued, etc. are all his own. And if he links to his Treehouse profile he won't have to say 'some of that was my dad'.

Thank you both for replying. It looks like we will be going with his own personal account...makes better sense with point and badge accrual.
