So I'm in the process of getting set up with CodeFellows for August courses, and part of their preparation package is to do the HTML and CSS courses on Codecademy
The Internet is a fantastic place
This is a great course.
I actually recommend this for anyone blogging here on Steemit because the HTML stuff alone with help you so much in formatting your blog, and there are JAVA courses on Khan Academy which I'll be taking after Codecademy that should help me to actually develop back end applications for Steemit, which is something I'd really like to do.
And this is all free.
Permissionless development
One of the best features of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency generally is its focus on open-source and open development.
Just think about it.
- Learn coding for free.
- Develop Steemit applications without permission using open source code.
- Post app on your Steemit blog and make tons of money.
All of this can be done with no material cost (just time), nobody can tell you not to do it, and nobody can fire you or cut off your funding and your position cannot be outsourced.
This is truly a completely different economy.
Do it yourself
It's easy to talk about this stuff.
But if you don't know anything (or very little) about code, actually going through these courses will enlighten you and provide you with small revelations about the larger technological picture.
You might even begin to see how you can play a part in making Steemit a better and more interesting platform to spend time with. And with free access to the knowledge of how to develop those improvements, you'll be able to actualize your ideas and then test them in the market by releasing them for free -- and then be compensated by the curation community.
Where is the flaw in this?
