How much code have you used?

What & why

You use significantly more code that you likely realize. We, of course, will focus on interface-based code—but you’d be surprised at the code you interact with.

When we realize how much code we use, we realize that somebody has to code & design that.

Learning what code runs the world helps us understand the need for learning Web Development.

List all the things you’ve interacted with this morning:

  • Your mobile?
  • Messaging apps? Social media apps?
  • Did you swipe your card for the bus?
  • Did you pay for parking?
  • Watch streaming videos?
  • Played a game?
  • Buy a snack or a drink?

Who made that thing?

  • Who wrote that code?
  • Who designed & coded that interface?
  • Who designed & coded that interaction?

We concentrate on coding web-based things—which show up often than you realize.
