The “Hour of Code” campaign sponsored by Code.org is spreading all over the globe like fire. It is a rare occasion when President Obama and Eric Cantor, House Republican Majority Leader are vouching for the same issue, but seems like Hour of code has brought the two names to one table backing the campaign.

1. Venturesity joins the “Hour Of Code” league from 13 December, 2013
The “Hour of Code” campaign sponsored by Code.org is spreading all over the globe like fire. It is a rare
occasion when President Obama and Eric Cantor, House Republican Majority Leader are vouching for
the same issue, but seems like Hour of code has brought the two names to one table backing the
campaign. To add, Apple and Microsoft have also extended their full support in teaching computer
science to 5 million students through 33,000 online classrooms all over the world.
Catching up with the pace, Venturesity is soon to join the league of “Hour of code”. From this Friday,
December 13, Venturesity is opening doors to individuals interested in learning to code! The language
ought to be taught is Ruby because we believe Ruby as a programming language is easy to learn by a
beginner.Three days in a week- Friday, Saturday and Sunday, in an hour students will be taught all they
need to know about Ruby, without having to pay a single cent!
Ruby as a programming language is famed to provide an awesome coding experience to any developer
about to start coding. It is relatively an easy language to grasp for a novice. It enables you to write
functional, objective and critical codes with immense ease. Venturesity will take you on an enjoyable
coding ride through the entire process of installing “gems” (a package manager used by Ruby to
download repositories and libraries easily) to writing code in Ruby! In these hour long classes, be a
master of Ruby and give a boost to your coding skills.
The world couldn‟t agree more with Mr.Obama when he said “Don’t just download the latest app, help design
it” Apple‟s “Hour of Code Youth Workshops” at every Apple Store and Codecademy„s new iPhone
app,Codecademy: Hour of Code hit the headlines soon after the campaign was launched on 9 december
2013.
If you try to understand what led to this intensive coding initiative, you will be surprised to know that
Computer Science as a subject is the least opted in graduation. It is not because no one knows about it,
but because no one tried to understand the opportunities it provides. Market statistics have shown that
there are more jobs than students. That is definitely something to worry about.
With a handful of colleges offering courses in Computer Science, the craze for mathematics and other
science subjects has saturated the market. The scenario in California is depressing to a great extend.
Hadi Partovi, founder of Code.org says “In California, computer Science has the same classification as a class
on Horseshoe making“.
Hadi Partovi hopes to bring about a change in the patterns of education with the “Hour of Code” initiative.
Students need to understand that ignoring computer science as a major subject might as well lead them
to lose on some great job openings. Venturesity calls upon all novice to learn Ruby every weekend for an
hour each day. Code.org notes that almost 120,522,587 lines of codes have been written down. Others
have already started writing their lines of codes. When are you starting yours? Sign up and be a part of
this awesome coding week. The hour glass at Venturesity will tilt from December 13, 2013. Hurry up! It‟s
coding time!
