The Just Code Challenge starts on June 18 and ends on September 21. After all, it’s not always about just making business apps! But even if you already know how to code, I think you’ll find that this contest will also be a great way to bring the fun back to coding. This contest is a great way for people new to coding to see what it takes to make an app, and to see how much fun coding can be. Any type of app counts - desktop, iOS or web. These apps don’t have to do anything fancy, although they should do something that is at least a little bit useful or fun. The idea is for you to make one program (or app) a week throughout the summer. I call it the Just Code Challenge (#JustCode). So let’s kick off a little Summer Contest. In short, one of the best ways to start is to just code. I also looked at other people’s programs (using magazines and books since there was no Internet back then) and modified them. I started by just trying things to see what worked and what didn’t. In the early 80s when I started programming, this is actually what I did when I first learned to program using BASIC. But many people just want to jump right in. Obviously Xojo is a great language to start with, but even with Xojo, how do you get started? You could dive into the free Introduction to Programming book or maybe watch some of the 100+ videos available on the Xojo channel. I’m often asked by both kids and adults: “how can I get started in programming?” or “how can I start coding to make my own programs/apps?”
