Hello class- while looking for something to write about I came across this article and thought I should share with you.
The New York Times has a Tech Tip section, and this week’s part by J.D. Biersdorfer walks us through the opportunities and challenges of creating apps for different technologies, even if you’ve never studied computer programming. It also provides interesting links to explore materials and tutorials for online exercises on your own pace and time.
Under the Computer Science Education Week link https://csedweek.org/, you can try to code for an hour and expand your horizon with this cool site, watch the 5-minute video and get your 5 minutes of coolness’ for the day.
There are other links available for Apple’s free software, videos and tutorials for learning the Swift language, I was also interested in the coding concepts link and the free Swift Playground app for the iPad platform, but why are you still reading this, click on the link and have fun.

Thanks a lot Roberto. I checked it out and found it very interesting. Let me share something that I think some students might also be interested in. It’s pretty safe to say by now that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a crucial part (if not the future as a whole) of technology, So, here is an affordable way that might help kick off a career in that area. “Master the tech that powers smart homes and self-driving cars with this premium training.”
