> I don't need to start at lesson 1; i want to skip around to different lessons.

There's a good reason for this, which I will explain with an analogy:

Lesson 1: Write the Great American Novel.

Lesson 2: Learn how to write engaging, readable short stories.

Lesson 3: Learn how to write internally consistent essays.

Lesson 4: Learn how to write coherent paragraphs.

Lesson 5: Learn how to structure grammatically correct sentences.

Lesson 6 Learn how to use and spell common English words.

Lesson 7: Learn how to enter text on a keyboard.

Get it? Lessons have a natural order, and each lesson requires what was learned beforehand.

I get it. It's just that I'm not a beginning programmer. I mean, unless the site is only for novices with zero programming skill, you're requiring all intermediate programmers to relearn stuff they've already mastered.

Also, I wanted to browse around the lessons in order to evaluate the quality of the site so that I could decide whether to recommend the site to non-programmer friends.

That should have been the first thing you said. :)

But such tutorials are obviously for rank beginners, experienced programmers don't use these kinds of sites. Unless it's a dramatic jump, like from COBOL to Haskell, to learn a new language they go straight to the language's documentation:

Python 2:

http://docs.python.org/

Python 3:

http://docs.python.org/py3k/

I'm mentoring a few people learning Python, and I wanted to quickly evaluate LearnStreet and decide whether to recommend it.

With Codecademy I could do that, here I cannot. So Codecademy it is.

Skipping is a really important feature for those who you hope would promote your service for you :-)

We will be adding this very soon.
