One thing I noticed in 2014 was an overall push to “learn to code”. Today computers are everywhere and we are only getting more reliant on them every day. It makes sense that more people and kids in particular are being exposed to programming. Here are some resources that I have found very easy to set up if you want to teach your kids about programming. Since I mainly use Windows this will be mainly a Windows centric post. Also because this is a list of resources for kids I am…

There is a wide variety of tools, methodologies, tricks and “hacks” out there that claim to help one improve in these areas. One such technique that I've adopted over the past couple of months is known as the “Pomodoro”.
The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980's and is easily summed up in a few simple rules. It encourages you to accomplish more in a…
