All of these people gave great suggestions. Flatiron school pre work is a great place to start.

I second getting a Treehouse account. It’s lazy-type learning for those days or hours when you feel burnt out reading books and writing your own code. You can watch their tutorials and do their code challenges to unwind.

If you want a study buddy, HIT ME UP! I just started learning Ruby.

If you wanna use my referral link, it’ll give you 50% off your first month at Treehouse, which is only a paltry $25/month to begin with.. so def try it out.

Hi All,

I have no experience in programming, just very basic knowledge of HTML.  What are some resources to get myself familiarized with where to begin? Any good materials on code academy? And what language would be best to tackle for a beginner?  

Thanks to all suggestions!

I have some, general experience with this sort of thing and would like to work with the NYC open data, so I'd be willing to attempt to figure this out if anyone would like to help.

Dear Bianca,

I'm just figuring this out myself with Ruby+Rails. The things you'll want to search on are REST and .json in the language or tool you want to use. That's the common entry point, it seems, to many open APIs.

Thanks,

Rick

I'm trying to learn how to work with NYC open data and APIs in general, but I'm not really sure where to begin. I've tried to Google this, but have been unable to find a high-level overview of how to approach this.

Has anyone in this group worked with data sets and knows how to visualize data? I need a very beginner explanation of how to do this.

Let me know! Maybe we can meet at GA or some coffee shop.

Thanks,

Bianca
