This post makes a solid point about the seemingly lost practice of coding with the proliferation of more ubiquitous technology. While these advances have connected billions, what does this mean for future job markets, innovation, etc.
Get the kids coding! I ordered my Raspberry Pi today and look forward to the day when I can get my (now 3-year old) son into coding.
This is a magazine for RaspberryPi users. RaspberryPi is a credit-card sized computer that does basic computer functions and is used to teach programming. http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs
"Eric Schmidt, chairman of Google was so taken with Pis (and so horrified by the lack of computer programming currently being taught) that he donated a barrel load of them to British schools. Raspberry Pi is now one of the most talked about products on Quibly and one of the most frequently purchased through our store."
"This is an amazing Windows, Mac and Raspberry Pi download which combines coding and composing music. Within a few minutes everyone can begin to make something tuneful and after a few lessons your students may even come up with a symphony or two."
