Good morning /r/LearnProgramming! I’m excited to share the news that the Codecademy team will be doing an AMA right here in our little corner of reddit tomorrow morning.
Codecademy is an interactive educational platform that has helped 45 million people learn how to code since 2011. We offer courses in everything from Python, C++, and JavaScript (jQuery, AngularJS, React, Vue, D3) to machine learning, Amazon Alexa, and technical interview prep. We have a lot of exciting things in the works, including a hardware course with Adafruit and courses in C#, R, PHP, and Phaser.js.
Look for the AMA post tomorrow morning at 11:00AM EDT to join in the fun!
8-6-2021 (August 6, 2021) is the Snakiest day of the year and it’s also this year’s CircuitPython Day! The day highlights all things CircuitPython and Python on Hardware. See you there!
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
