To kick off our first ever Hello World podcast episode, we thought we would explore what excites us and frustrates us about programming. Learning to code can be a creative, imaginative, immersive and rewarding experience. We discuss the role that programming has as a practical application of computer science concepts, as well as how it brings the subject to life and enables learners to solve meaningful problems that are important to them.
