Coding Resources To Get You Started

First thing is first, why should you even care about coding? Well... Did you know that coding can boost problem-solving and logic skills? Outside of the implications of coding which look good on a  resume , coding does boost skills that are useful to most jobs.  Problem solving  and  logic  are the main two. Learning to code is like an exercise session for the left side of the brain. Going back to the resume, having coding experience listed on your resume also says "Hey, I can solve difficult problems." Coding can allow you to pursue passion projects. Ever wanted to create something, but didn't know how? Coding is a fantastic skill for you if you’re the sort of person who has tons of ideas and wants to get started on everything yesterday. Not having to look elsewhere for a coder saves both time and money, plus it means you can keep changing and redesigning as your idea develops. Additionally, no one will ever care about your project as much as you. Take matters in

Benefits of Using a VPN

Pros Network Security Applications and websites can keep track of your activity online. The data can be analyzed and used to serve you with targeted ads. Popup ads can also degrade your browsing experience, something that a VPN can often mitigate.

Mechanical Keyboards - Once You Go Mechanical, You'll Never Go Back

If you are sitting in front of the computer for over 6 hrs. a day, 5 days a week, then you need a good typing experience.  The experience of typing on a mechanical keyboard is like none other. From the distinct sound, to the feedback that you receive from the input, to the indent on the keys so that you know your finger landed on the center of the key and not the edge, the travel of the keys on each stroke, the resistance, etc. It is a completely different experience and in my opinion the best experience that you can get. Then again as a child I had an actual typewriter to play with, and maybe I am just nostalgic. Before we get into the keyboards I like, let's talk about the switches.  Yes, all switches are not created equal, and whether you are using a keyboard mainly for typing or something more specialized like gaming, you might want to choose a keyboard with a specific type of switch.

Udacity began as an experiment in online learning, when two Stanford University instructors elected to offer their "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" course online to anyone, for free. Over 160,000 students in more than 190 countries enrolled. The potential to educate at a global scale was awe-inspiring, and Udacity was founded to pursue a mission to democratize education.

The Udacity mission is to… “Train the world’s workforce in the careers of the future.
