Hour of Code at code.org

There's an effort to get everybody in the United States (and elsewhere, for sure!) to participate in an hour of coding to show just how easy it is. I think this is a SUPER effort! Check out their site, watch the video, and sign the petition. Then get yourself, your wife and kids, your neighbor and the pizza guy CODING! http://code.org/ Mark

I think it's a pretty awesome project! There are so many coding languages out there that are super simple, yet super powerful. A single line in Ruby, for instance, gets you Hello World! Can't be to much easier!

ON IT MARK. Sam and I have been learning code non-stop, let's get everyone else to do the same! I'm going to watch my nephew next week and I'm going to throw him a small xcode project with his favorite hero: Mario :-) David https://buzztouchmods.com/hire-me

Your local Apple Store is having an hour of code via this same initiative on Weds at 5 PM for free. http://m.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=36441 http://www.apple.com/retail/

@Niraj, totally heading over to one of those now. Closest one is already full, looking at other stores now. Thanks! David https://buzztouchmods.com/hire-me

Total bummer, the nearest 6 Apple stores (even the one that no-one ever goes to in that sketchy neighborhood no-one wants to acknowledge) is full! If anyone finds the workshop open at your store get in before it gets full! Cheers! David https://buzztouchmods.com/hire-me

My son, Alex, just finished his hour of code. He's a natural!
