This was a cross Canada initiative, and it's ongoing. If you ever get to Montreal we could go to a session together!Audrey McLarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768854682051024178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043597826599085122.post-70334976672385724972014-10-12T14:56:02.232-07:002014-10-12T14:56:02.232-07:00Audrey - this sounds so cool; I've always want...Audrey - this sounds so cool; I've always wanted to learn to code but had a horrible experience 8 million years ago in Intro to Computer Science and have shied away from it. I love the whole "Ladies Learn to Code" thing and that it was run/staffed by volunteers - sounds a little TMC! Thanks for sharing your experience. Maybe someone in New York will have the same brilliant idea....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043597826599085122.post-49075904523081751282014-10-06T06:58:34.887-07:002014-10-06T06:58:34.887-07:00And for your offer of help!And for your offer of help!Audrey McLarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768854682051024178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043597826599085122.post-53882754982142174522014-10-06T06:57:44.168-07:002014-10-06T06:57:44.168-07:00Glad you like the selfies!

I think I do it because I spend so much time not being f2f with people.<br /><br />I remember you tweeting a while ago that you were building your website, and you asked for feedback on different designs. That's when I realized just how customize-able websites could be - and I love making things look cool, so it really appealed to me.<br /><br />That's a great idea, the landing page, kind of like your own aboutme page, right? I think I can do that! Thanks Brian, for your comment and the idea!Audrey McLarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768854682051024178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043597826599085122.post-82494742207201141602014-10-06T05:54:14.772-07:002014-10-06T05:54:14.772-07:00This is awesome (and I love that you include selfi...This is awesome (and I love that you include selfies in your blog posts, btw). My coding started vert similarly - I saw something and wanted to do it myself. Which meant learning to code. A good way to start is to design your own dot com landing page which points to your blog, etc. More straightforward that doing an entire blog (mine is brianbennett.org, which will be getting a facelift in the very near future).<br /><br />I just wanted to throw my hat into the ring...any time you'd like pointers or suggestions, feel free to hit me up. I've gotten a lot of ad hoc help from people as I was learning, so I'm happy to share thoughts, help or suggestions at any time.Brian Bennetthttp://www.brianbennett.org/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043597826599085122.post-87113934049147141942014-10-06T04:26:35.725-07:002014-10-06T04:26:35.725-07:00Barb!

Anyway, what's extra special to me is when my friend reads and comments on my labour of love, my blog!

Tch!) So cool that you had the opportunity to experience the 'flip' from the other side. Teaching is extra special when it leads to learning and vs. vs..
