It's funny to compare the early days of nerds working on
computers in garages with today where those skills are fairly common. I've
felt for sometime that people from all walks of life will learn to program as
computers become more ubiquitous. I believe I'm an example of this trend.
While I have interests that would be considered nerdy (who doesn't anymore?), I
don't consider myself one. Computer science wasn't on my radar until I
took an introductory course and found I enjoyed it. With websites such as
Code Academy, Code School, and the one in this article, many people without formal training may find
themselves in the same position I did. All this came about because a handful of
nerds turned their passions into something that can be used and enjoyed by
everyone.
