    It’s on: the #HourofCode is here
    “There’s definitely a perception that programming is difficult, but it really, really isn’t,” explains Pearson author Tony Gaddis in the Joy of Coding video above: and he should know, having written many books on the subject. It sounds impenetrable and perhaps offputting – even the word ‘code’ sounds like something intentionally difficult that requires cracking – but if you’re able to read this sentence, you’re already part-way there.
