The Machine podcast is brought to you by the science and computing department in WIT. These include both members of staff and students from the department
Following on from the last podcast in which the panel attempted to describe what programming is, this time the same group (Siobhan Drohan, Eamon De Leastar, Mairead Meagher and Rob O’Connor) talk about how a complete beginner can dip their toe in the world of coding. During the discussion, they mention a number of (mostly) free tools that you can find at the links below, presented in the order in which they appear (we think!):
Code.org (Hour of Code) - studio.code.org/courses
Processing - processing.org
The Coding Train - thecodingtrain.com
Free Coding Camp - www.freecodecamp.org
Stack Overflow - stackoverflow.com
Sphereo Mini - www.sphero.com/sphero-mini
Coder Dojo - coderdojo.com
Scratch - scratch.mit.edu
Glitch - glitch.com
