Looking at Codecademy's '<a href="http://www.codecademy.com/create/creator#!/courses/new" rel="nofollow">Create a Course</a>' portal, next up might be python and/or ruby. It's hard to know what the next language to learn is. My computer science brother says I should start over and learn from the hardware up. And like <a href="http://depth-first.com/articles/2012/06/12/what-programming-language-should-i-learn-as-a-chemist/" rel="nofollow">Rich says</a>, maybe it's better to have a goal, then learn the language to code it?

I just did the blackjack game on codeyear and my brain just doesn't work like a coders. I am having a HARD time with it, but learning a lot. As an administrator for VIPEr, I just saw your post on the site and am checking it right now. Thanks for putting it up. Adam I was able to get it, thanks.

If you still can't access it, drop me an email (click the bloggers link at top), I'll be happy to share it with you. @Adam,
