"My New Year's resolution is to learn to code with Codecademy in 2012! Join Me!"

-Mike Bloomberg

2012 is Code Year according to Codecademy, an online startup which aims to offer an easy to use, interactive way for people to learn software coding.

Learning to code doesn't have to be a solitary activity. Just like anything else, you've got to put in the hours to get good at it.

But there’s a lot of important learning that takes place in a group, where people with a common goal can share their insights, tips and thoughts, which makes the learning process more engaging and fun.

This group is meant for people who are

• new to coding and are using tools like Codecademy to learn
• learning to code just for fun
• learning to code as a professional goal
• looking to create their own websites or apps

You might be a student, a professional or even a retiree. You might have some background with computers or none at all. I would love to get a diverse mix of people in this group and see how far along this path of learning we can travel together.
