Anyone can code. You don’t need shiny new technology to do it.
A class for beginners.
You don't need to be an engineer to learn how to code. All it takes is a little bit of curiosity! You'll learn about what code is and how to think like a coder—which is all about breaking down a problem into smaller steps.
Lesson 3: Pseudocode
Lesson 5: Applesoft Basic
Discover the joys of retro technology.
Daniel teaches this class on his childhood Apple II+ computer from the 80s. It’s been 40 years since then, but some things haven't changed: coding foundations are still the same, and computers need you to tell them what to do.
“you are truly the bob ross of programming.”

Learn the basic building blocks of code.
These make up the foundations of any programming language. In this class, you’ll learn in Basic, but the concepts are applicable across any programming language. No matter what language you want to work with after this class, this knowledge will apply.
Concepts you'll learn:
Variables
Conditionals
Loops
Arrays
Functions
Put it all together into a program.
You'll put together those building blocks you learned to create a simple program. Follow along with Daniel as he walks through each line of code.

You've inspired me, more than once, to code fun projects in my spare time, rather than just for my day job.
