    Love the show, and I would like to know more about how Michael got his start, how he finds clients, etc. I’m moving to a new area relatively soon and would like to give contracting a shot. 

  • OJ Shakewell

    Just the show I need, this should help me break out of my noobie shell where I have been stuck for too long.

    Chris:
    MIT has a set of video lectures on programming for 6.00 – Introduction to Computer Science. Available on YouTube and their own website. e.g:

    They go into using Python for learning to programme. There might be other beginner courses out there, but it is designed at teaching people who do not already programme how to programme.

    Michael and Chris,

    I am a Sys Admin that is learning how to program.  I can already script in bash, but I to do not consider it programing. So we have the same point of view. 

    I am learning python. I been using this great site called “Learn Code The Hard Way” http://learncodethehardway.com/

    I am not done with Coder Radio, but dude, great fucking idea!!

    Love the new show. Michael’s a great new host and I’m looking forward to more coding in a Jupiter style.

    Great show, gentlemen.  I’m currently learning Python since this seems to be the majority opinion for a programming language for newbies.  Would love more information on steps to take as a new program developer/hobbyist.

    I think Python is an easy language to learn. I use Illumination to build my apps right now, but I will built my own apps myself one day. I got HTML and CSS down pat, though. I need to learn JS as well.
