Code Every Day

Code Every Day (CED) is a podcast for the average person to learn the most basic ways how computer programs work. It teaches the skills you need to become a software developer, malware analyst, software tester, or more.

More specifically, this course is broken into weeks. Each week has:

• An introduction to the week's concepts on Monday
• Details and more explanation on Tuesday through Friday
• An exercise to practice on Saturday or Sunday

You'll need to:

• Speak English pretty well, though you don't need to know tech jargon
• Have a fairly modern browser, like the ones on most smartphones or your local library's computers
• Participate in learning, by thinking about the lectures and actually doing the exercises

New episodes are released a week's worth at a time. The release schedule is irregular, because each set of episodes takes a different amount of time to do, but the goal is to release a batch every two or three months.

Find the podcast anywhere you find podcasts.

This repository

This repo is the monolith that contains almost everything about Code Every Day. Specifically, it has:

• The direct source for the CED site (which is hosted on GitHub Pages directly from here)
• The code that runs the exercise platform
• The blog entries, which are also hosted on the website
• Each week's scripts
• The overall outline for the whole series

Unfortunately, the audio files can't be stored on GitHub -- small as audio files are, compared to videos, they're still too big to host on GitHub.

Requesting changes

There are two kinds of changes you might want to request.

• There's something objectively wrong that has to be corrected. For example, an exercise solution doesn't work, or one of the scripts doesn't match the episode.

  That's called a bug report.

• You think things could be better, but they're not strictly wrong as they are. Maybe you have an idea for a better metaphor, or a way to simplify the language used.

  That's called a feature request.

Once you've decided which category your change is in, you can report it:

• On GitHub, if you have an account
• By email, eventually, once I set up a dedicated CED email address
