        "url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H5jeLxUy-0"
    }
]

note on course URLs: any course URL ending with .mp4 will be embeded into the launch lage. All other urls will launch into a new window.

• Courses are "owned" by their creators.
• Users can "publish" their content to the catalog for others to take.
• Dynamic searching of the catalog.
• the ability to group courses into 'katas'
• Some kind of lighter persistence option. More than the in-memory option but still does not require a external service like Mongo to be set up. Suggestions?
