NoSQL
I'd like to learn more about the different NoSQL options MongoDB, CouchDB, Cassandra... etc. How to choose between them and how to use them in a rails project.

Javascript
Would love to see a raw JavaScript course that covers core information similar to "Definitive JavaScript, The Good Parts, or Eloquent JavaScript". Plus, having a series that competed with the flat CodeAcademy would be good for your image.

Advanced Git
Building off of the Git Real course, I'd like to dive more into the advanced features of git.
1,013 votesGood news everyone. We will be releasing our 3rd Git course (currently called Git Real: Legacy) sometime in the next couple of months.
You can see it already listed in the Electives Path here: http://www.codeschool.com/paths/electives.
We’ve got some ideas on what the course should have but please let us know if there is anything specific you’d like to see.

JavaScript beyond the basics like the big boys.
I would like to see a course or a series of courses to teach non computer science folks who want to write JS in OOP. Readability, commenting and best practices would be the focus. I want to write big boy code not spaghetti code.

Python
I would love to see an introduction to Python and Django. It'd be nice to see things like PEP8 (the Python style guide), common/useful modules and best practices covered as well.

Creating Beautiful, Simple Designs
Coming from a code background, I find HTML and CSS very easy but it's very hard for me to imagine incredible designs. Bad design de-values my work. Can you teach us step-by-step how to create a design, starting with a blank photoshop file and walking us through how to choose fonts, layout, colors, etc?

We’re looking into some options on how to implement something like this as a Code School course. The main “problem” being … how do you test something like this? If anyone has any suggestions, please let us know, here.

Android Development (Beginner / Advanced)
Even though android development requires an IDEA (eclipse), it could be great to learn chunks of code each time with new chapters and experiment writing code.
Personally I'd like to see Android game programming tutorials, but any android tutorial would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

A beginner - intermediate course on PHP would be great, particularly for designers that need to understand more about server side programming.

Ember
Ember (formally Sproutcore 2) is getting hotter and feels extremely useful and adapted to web applications.
Basic infos can be found at http://emberjs.com

Angularjs
A course similar to your backbone course except for Angular! Angular is much less natural to web-centric professionals and a guided course by your super capable instructors would be a god send to people like us.
603 votesHey Everyone,
Thanks for the great idea for Angular.js. We are considering covering this topic with a couple of CodeTV screencasts.
Look for an update shortly.

Ruby/Rails Metaprogramming
A course on the metaprogramming aspects of Ruby like method_missing, instance_eval and class_eval as well as using these methods, mixins, include and extend to create your own ActiveRecord extensions.

Advanced Python
Python is such an easy and fun language to learn I don't think it is necessary to offer an introductory course on it. An advanced course, however, would be very useful.

Vim
Vim is one of the must have tools in professional programmer toolbox but it's quite hard to learn. Codeschool course on the topic would be awesome.
