Announcement and favor by Wahid Tanner | Dec 3, 2019 Hi, From the beginning, I've learned how to code by building games and that's how I'd like to help you learn coding too. This particular game has gone through several big changes over the years and I think I've finally simplified it enough that you can learn something while making it big enough that you will be learning how real problems are solved. In other words, this is not just a sample. This is a real project that's actually bigger than some projects I've worked on at other companies. I've been working on this whenever I have time. This is me about to begin coding on my way to work one day. From the beginning, this game has been designed and built to show you how to code. And I've already went through 31 hours of live class instruction starting from the absolute beginning. I'm talking about starting from the point of never having written a single bit of code before. Maybe you don't even have your computer ready for programming. That's okay. You'll learn it all. But more important is that you learn the process. I make mistakes in my code. Everybody does. I change my mind too. Sometimes, I'll need to rip everything apart and start over. This is the sort of thing you'll never find in books or online classes. Why? Because it makes the instructor look bad. Or so they think. I say this is how things are done. And if you're going to learn how to code, then you might as well learn how it's really done. I need your help. Before wrapping this game up, I need to make sure it covers everything you will need. There's still time to add new material and cover new subjects and answer new questions. This is where you can help. Please take just a few minutes to answer this super-short survey. There's only two questions you need to answer. Click the "Next" button to begin. What are your two top questions about learning how to code that I absolutely NEED to answer? What type of computer do you use? PC Linux Mac Other Type of computer if other. Thanks for your response! That's what I need to help answer all your questions. But, it's important that you click "Submit" on the next page or else all your answers so far will be lost. The rest of the questions on this page and the next are optional.Now, while I think making games is a great way to learn how to code, you might have some other ideas. Is there any other technique or method you'd like or that you think would help you the most to learn how to code? One last thing... and this is optional.A lot of people love the Take Up Code podcast where I have been teaching coding for the last 4 years. But this game is brand new and I have no testimonial letters yet.Would you be able to help with a testimonial for things you have already benefitted from? It does not need to be very involved. Here are some examples from the podcast listeners.Danny J.I started my career as a programmer before I started my own business and I never thought there would be somebody that could explain why programming is so important and easy for anyone to learn. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to make their life easier by programming.Elsie D.The method of explanation is excellent. Take Up Code is awesome education on coding for the beginner and expert alike. Thank YOU for creating such an important podcast!Simon C.This kind of topic is really hard to understand on the first try but your show makes it a lot more easy. We really need to know about this!Tony L.Code is the new literacy. I encourage every child, mom, dad and grandparent to learn an appropriate amount of programming. Wahid does such a nice job of making is easy to learn code. I am glad I found this podcast.Can you give a testimonial about things you have experienced? It could be the coding quiz, or the 5-day email series about writing a game, or about the podcast.If you do, it might appear on the web page, or emails, or in other media and be attributed to your name and city.Enter your testimonial here. Your name. Your city and state. Or city and country. Time is Up! Time's up
