I'm actually going to try and learn a little bit about coding this year. My plan so far is to start with "codeaccademy", move on to "treehouse" and then try "code school". I do want to learn, and figure this might as well be the year. I just don't know really where to learn, and have heard these places mentioned a few times.

correct my error, I meant “code academy” not to be confused with “codeacademy” (2 different places, one is online, the other is brick and mortar and based in chicago).

The question is, what code to learn? C++? Visual Basic? Fortran? COBAL? JavaScript?

5 LET S = 0
10 MAT INPUT V
20 LET N = NUM
30 IF N = 0 THEN 99
40 FOR I = 1 TO N
45 LET S = S + V(I)
50 NEXT I
60 PRINT S/N
70 GO TO 5
99 END

I sure love to code!

I’m usually working in C or assembly writing code for micro-controllers.

It’s not hard to write software at all. It would make you a fun and low-cost hobby. :-)

"Glorified typing!!! That's all this is. What am I doing here?"

Heard an irritable pure math professor (an algebraist) shout that out a couple of times during a packed seminar given by a distinguished British AI expert. Seems he and everyone else in the math dept. was required or strongly encouraged to attend and he took exception. It was kind of embarrassing actually. It was almost as if we had an unhappy two-year-old in the room. Knowing how to write computer programs is a good thing. Plus it's fun.

I wonder if there are enough freepers interested in programming as a hobby to make it worthwhile for me to start a blog and teach a basic course in programming micro-controllers?

I think I could manage to do it, I’d estimate total cost of tools and parts to be less than 20.00

It would be C and assembly language....both are really simple and the average freeper would have NO problem. (I hold that the average freeper is well above the average citizen in brains and ability)

The media has been pushing this since the 90’s (”The information age,economy etc”, “post industrial age etc”) . Ha , there are no jobs in America.
