This episode Tony and talk all about programming. Yep, we talk about whether schools are starting students with too difficult a language or not. We also talk about Australia’s decision to make coding mandatory, but at what cost.
As always you can find us on iTunes and Podomatic and if you have a comment, just leave it here on the blog – we love those things!
