After watching Halt and Catch Fire this season I can say unequivocally that Cameron Howe needs this site to exist 30 years ago.

@robotracer Since you posted this I have watched all of season 1. I feel like its difficult to find someone <30 who still types with their index fingers. I don't even know why they make her type just have her pretend to type AGHHHHHH so frustrating AGHHHHH AGHHH

Thanks, I need to work on this...only thing i would say is there should be an autocorrect when whitespace is syntactically insignificant, as I feel like some people have different muscle memory for certain things which will cause them to make repeated errors.

Not that useful for Objective-C, anyone with Xcode knows that at least half your code is autocompleted.

I like test typing software, this puts an interesting spin on it. Definitely huge plus to be able to code quickly, but to do that you probably want to practice on the real thing. Cool idea and implementation!

This is very cool, I had a go with Java. But I'm not sure what Mavis Beacon would have to say about it :-) I'd love to see a typing challenge that you can send to a friend. You could synchronise the start of the race with your friend. The fastest person with least mistakes wins :-)

While the idea of using code to teach typing is intriguing, I can't help but wonder, how long before those same developers ask for an auto-complete feature. :) @interface CDIListViewController () CDIAddTaskViewDelegate, TTTAttributedLabelDelegate, UITextFieldDelegate, UIActionSheetDelegate, UIAlertViewDelegate That sentence was built for auto complete.

Nifty! As a writer, I've always found typing code to be awkward. Really valuable.. I love the way this is implemented as well.
