npm Basics Student QA

Hello all!

My next course, npm Basics, is due to go live on Thursday, August 6th 2015.

We'd like to start a Student QA session today around 5pm PDT and to finish on August 5th 6pm PDT.

If you're interested in getting early access to the course and put it through its paces, please reply on this thread.

If you are selected you'll receive an email on the 18th.

Please don't post feedback from the QA on the forums, this could lead to confusion for students who don't have access to the course yet.

For QA feedback please reply to the email invitation. The kinds of feedback we require before launch are:

  • Quizzes that don't make sense, are unclear, or have multiple possible answers.
  • Code Challenges not working or don't make sense.
  • Broken links in teacher's notes
  • Missing Workspaces
  • Reading the badge unlock e-mails
  • Typos in Motion Graphics
  • Missing project files
  • Critical video errors, like incorrect text on screen, blank video, video missing or sound not working.

What we don't need:

*Proofreading the captions *Detailed information about the quality of the videos (although this is helpful, and you're free to provide this level of detail if you wish, we are looking immediately for serious problems that we can fix before launch. You can give this sort of feedback in the "Content Feedback" form in the app.) Thank you and I hope you enjoy it!

P.S. There is a known bug when you do a course "In QA", once you complete a stage you have to go back to the course page to access the next stage, there's no continue button.

Hey Sally Gradle, farandaway and David Hamilton,

The QA session started yesterday at 5pm, sorry. At this time there's no easy way to add newcomers without stopping the session and re-adding everyone.

The Treehouse twitter account retweeted me today, after it started which may have lead to some confusion!

Sorry about that, maybe next time :)

Regards
Andrew, @chalkers

Hello Andrew,

It is all good, I saw the tweet and replied on my phone. I will try again next time, I have followed your twitter so hopefully I will catch it faster next time.

Thanks, David

No worries. Timing is everything.
