If you've decided that 2013 is the year you're finally going to learn to code, you're in luck! There have never been more resources available to people interested in picking up 21st century digital skills, whether you're interested in front-end development, back-end development, design, or even something more specific. But you've tried online tutorials. You've been to Meetup groups. You've watched video lessons. And for some reason, it's just not working for you. Well, the good news is that - these days - there are lots of options for people looking to learn how to code via an in-person learning experience. And you won't even have to move to San Francisco.
