TechCrunch (Dec. 5) -- Bloc, a company focused on teaching anyone the fundamentals of web development, has raised $2 million in seed funding. Founded by U of I grads Roshan Choxi (CEO) and Dave Paola (CTO), Bloc's online program--that can be accessed anywhere a student has a computer and Internet access--also retains the human element of teaching through a one-on-one connection between a learner and their mentor.
