I saw a mention of Code Year on Twitter in the morning. In the evening when I looked at the Code Year site over fifty-three thousand had signed up. I entered my email and clicked the
Start learning! button; a very simple and easy way to join up. A little while later I got a confirmation email with a get started now link. So I have started. What it entails are a series of short interactive exercises introducing how to code with JavaScript. It is free. It encourages and it is positive in its instruction. Every stage is rewarded with points and achievement badges. Let’s see if I can continue. Already I have seen benefit, in that I looked at a web pages source code and recognised some of the constructs of JavaScript.
Now the number signed up is over one hundred and forty thousand and counting which shows how many people want to learn.
