Finally John gets round to answering Andy’s question for a month ago. He thinks he has a good excuse – but he is not so sure!!!
In this episode, Andy answers John’s’ question about what writing tools he uses in his (personal) work. Andy asks and answers a new question – what is your take on “learning to code”? I am including several links on this topic:
Jeff Atwood – Please Don’t Learn To Code
Jeff Atwood – Learning To Code Is Overrated
Hadi Partovi – Computer Science is Foundational (TED Talk)
Ali Partovi – Learning to Code is Not Just for Coders (TED Talk)
Code.Org – Description/goals of the organization
Hour of Code – Resources to teach basics of coding within an hour
Finally, I include a link to a post about wildfires in Western Oregon (close to my house!)…
In this episode, Andy answers the question from episode 14 (have I ever thought about writing a newsletter?) and asks/answers this question: what is the balance of free and paid online services you are using, and how is that working for you? Andy also talks about some new equipment and a new website.
