Partnership with Salina Code Academy Opens Coding and Computer Classes
Computer coding is at the foundation of modern technology - not only for computers and smartphones, but also in cars, refrigerators, water heaters, and thousands of other everyday products. It’s also critical to services such as banking, healthcare, and social media. Coding, which is also called software programming or computer programming, is the process of using a language computers can understand to give them instructions for a task.
