Welcome

This blog will review various sites across the web and give you our perspective on what you can find, before actually spending the time looking through the site yourself.  This is only our perspective, but will hopefully give you a better feel for what the site is all about.

As we stumble across things, we'll try to highlight our findings in a few simple posts on this blog.  We are not posting the large sites that everyone is already aware of, we are looking for those hidden gems that you've probably never heard of before.  We'll call out the blog, the URL, and a brief description of the site.

So by all means, check back often, as you never know if you'll find a few gems here that may be worth looking into.  So let's get right into things, and take a look at our first site:

Code Academy
This is a great website for those of you that are looking to learn how to code (in computer talk). You can learn a variety of languages from PHP to JavaScript to Ruby.  The site will take you through the beginning steps of the language, and you'll eventually learn to code your first program (although it will be very basic).  You won't be an expert, but you'll have the beginning knowledge of how to be a programmer.
