eLearning developers for years have limited themselves by selecting a set of tools that has (mostly) resulted in boring, engaging learning experiences.   The comparison point that users make is not other learning experiences but other media. In order to compare favorably to other media, developers must learn the tools used by other digital professionals.  One of those tools is coding.

In this fast-paced, but approachable session, Mark Lassoff of Punk Learning will teach you to write your first lines of code-- But you're not going to simply sit back and watch.  You're going to write the code as Mark does creating your first lines of executable code and whetting your appetite for more.  You'll earn the title programmer as you complete the exercises in this session.  More, importantly, Mark will demythologize programming so you can start learning on your own.
