A list of workshopper/adventure-based tutorials for various things. Inspired by awesome. These are terminal-based guides to learning a new programming concept. Here's an example screenshot from rvagg's learnyounode:

Learn You The Node.js For Much Win!

If you know of any other workshopper/adventure tutorials, feel free to fork/PR or open a new issue. This list will also serve as a wish-list of types: if you want a workshopper that is not listed here, open a pull request and I'll see about getting it started.
