Great Resource!

Make sure to check out these CS50 lectures!

Videos of live harvard classes on an introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming.  We spent a week watching these in class and they are a great introduction of what to expect in Computer Science!

Is Computer Programming Hard To Learn?

Is it hard to learn? To be completely honest it is not easy but it is in no way impossible.  I could lie and say that everyone who does it loves it but it's just not everyones cup of tea.  I have found that for some people it clicks and others it is the hardest thing in the world.  I think it is up to the person to decide which one they are.  Even if you do not get it in the beginning if you truly practice there are endless opportunities for success.  Comp sci is like a hidden gem you don't know how beautiful it is until you uncover it and sadly many people are unable to discover it.

A Place To Start

For those who don't know where to start with coding here is a great resource. One of my very good friends started simply by working on this website for an hour a day and now designs websites for local business companies in his area and he is only 16!   Codecademy is free and already has 25 million learners around the world! This isn't the only website out there, just from a little research you can discover tons of others that may suit you better.
