Code Year at Idea Greenhouse

Monday, January 23 2012 20:55

In 2012, our country is struggling to compete.  And you need to compete in this tech-driven world, too.

What's a great New Year's resolution for you and all of us?

Learn to code software with Idea Greenhouse and Codecademy during Code Year.

Idea Greenhouse supports Code Year and encourages all our members to learn some code. But why? Listen to these tech luminaries:

"Codecademy’s message — that knowing how to write computer code is becoming just as important as knowing how to read or write — could not have come at a better time."  -GigaOm Blog, 1/23/2012

"A young man asked me for advice for 'those who aren't technical.' I said he should try to get technical." -Fred Wilson, Web Startups Angel Investor

I wish I'd thought of [this]...The need for computer literacy has never been greater." - Tim O'Reilly, Founder of O'Reilly Media

You can use the Code Year website to begin their weekly lessons. But what if you need help or inspiration?

Come Work and Learn Together at Idea Greenhouse!
