This looks very cool.

Do you remember the excitement you felt as a child when you wrote your first simple program?

I do.

I started with a hangman style game on my Commodore 64 that was written in BASIC....

You know an entire generation of the computer industry was born out of the natural curiosity of kids and the availability of the PC during the 80’s. This week my team launched a beta of a website that we hope will help capture the excitement of learning about computers for the next generation of programmers.

We call the website Bitman’s Place.

The goal is to teach the next generation of programmers the fundamentals of computer science while tapping their natural curiosity and attraction to technology.


I think I am going to pay my kids an allowance to do this over the summer.
