Other than a few lines of Basic when I was 10, I had never coded before. Three years ago I sat down with my laptop, fired up the MIT Introduction to Computer Science course, and began my journey into learning Computer Science and Programming.

I've stuck with Python mostly, with forays into JavaScript, C and Haskell since then.

In a couple of weeks time I'll be leaving main stream teaching and heading off to work for The Raspberry Pi Foundation.

I can't recommend Python enough, as an entry level programming language. The online resources are numerous and of high quality, the community is helpful and welcoming to beginners, the language is human readable and easy to debug.

First of all, great work! That is an impressive journey. Secondly, what was your Haskell experience like?

I'm always looking to see what others experiences are so I know how I can help make future experiences better.

That's amazing. The Raspberry Pi Foundation is doing good work.
