[Ohiogift] programing teacher

[Lauren Sindelar]

Have you looked into codecademey.com? I know they teach java script, and
it's free. They break it down into very small steps and you're not allowed
to move on until you've done the last step right. I started using the site,
but don’t have much in the way of free time, so I haven't gotten very far.
