I’ve decided to dive in and join the throngs of people who are doing a Year of Code. I’ve got 42 points racked up on Codecademy (only one mini-course in; here’s my profile!), and I’m looking forward to the course “Digital Humanities Databases” at DHSI, which starts on Monday in beautiful Victoria, BC.
There are so many resources out there for beginners who want to learn how to code! A sampler pack: check out the MIT Python Course, the Human-Computer Interaction course offered by Stanford, or any of the offerings from Ladies Learning Code.
