No astroturfing. I genuinely think this is an awesome product. I completed Rails for Zombies when it came out and was blown away. When I heard about Code School I asked for a beta invite and I did Rails Best Practices and similarly loved it. I wanted to blog about it ASAP.

I emailed Gregg and asked if I could have some beta invites to share with my blog readers for my post. He told me to hold off as they were just about ready to launch and didn't need anymore beta testers but that he would ping me on launch, which he did.
