The Hour of Code : You can Code !

Coding / Programming is easy ! If kids can do it, you can do it.

Seriously, in 1 hour. And it's fun too!

The Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries. Anyone, anywhere can organize an Hour of Code event. One-hour tutorials are available in over 30 languages. No experience needed. Ages 4 to 104 ! So also show this to your kids ! They will surely benefit from it later.

I am an official Hour of Code instructor !
If you succeed, I will send you a certificate like this:

UPDATE 12/12/2014 :

70 million down, 30 million to go. When the Hour of Code launched a year ago, we had no idea how fast it would spread. To date, 70M students have tried the Hour of Code.

This week, across 180 countries, millions of people are learning new skills that can change the rest of their lives. The Hour of Code 2014 is already twice as big as last year!

Halfway through the week, 15 million students have tried the Hour of Code around the world https://code.org/l/5i_cMKz1NBmboha6yDw4sQ==/MTQ= — including a pretty special student, the President of the United States.

Barack Obama became the first US President to program a computer, to show that anybody start learning computer science. And in a video message to kick off the Hour of Code, he urged every young person to learn more about how technology works <https://code.org/l/5i_cMKz1NBmboha6yDw4sQ==/MjU2OA==> this week. Watch him write his first line of code <https://code.org/l/5i_cMKz1NBmboha6yDw4sQ==/MjU2NA==> .
