Harlem Get Code Academy

It seems fun to go to Code Academy.  If you are between jobs or a stay at home mom/dad, this may be your chance to get new skills.  Hey, their offices are downtown NYC, but they are in my Harlem and Bronx heart. It might be good, though not so much fun, to learn computer programming, coding, program, all that.

In fact, they were created by two different companies - JavaScript’s original name was actually LiveScript! Java is used to create stand-alone applications, or applications that can run all by themselves. On the other hand, JavaScript lives within web browsers and requires a browser to interpret the code. JavaScript gives you the power to manipulate items on a webpage so you can build cool, interactive web applications!
