Coding!


Coding:
Coding and programming are the same thing. They are used to build many things like websites, games, apps, ect. There are hundreds of code languages. And they are not so easy to do, and take a long time to learn. So there will be a few code languages below to explain what they are and what they do. Now keep in mind, you need to know the languages before the language you want to know or it will be VERY hard. For example, if I wanted to learn JQuery then I would have to learn html, CSS, and Javascript. (Want to learn about this? Go here - http://www.codecademy.com/learn )

HTML and CSS:

HTML and CSS is one of the easiest codes out there. This code language is very useful in businesses. If you learn how to write this code, you can build websites! People think it is easy to build there own website from scratch, but it is hard because you need to learn a big but easy coding language. For example, if you want ad ad on there, you have to embed it on to your website, which is sorda easy. “HTML is a computer language devised to allow website creation. These websites can then be viewed by anyone else connected to the Internet. It is relatively easy to learn, with the basics being accessible to most people in one sitting; and quite powerful in what it allows you to create. It is constantly undergoing revision and evolution to meet the demands and requirements of the growing Internet audience under the direction of the » W3C, the organisation charged with designing and maintaining the language. “  ( Got this from - http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/starthere/whatishtml.html )

JavaScript:

JavaScript is not the easiest coding languages out there. You have to remember lots of stuff. “It does this by converting your static page into one that can interact with your visitors without them needing to wait for a new page to load every time they make a request. JavaScript adds behavior to the web page where the web page is capable of responding to actions by your visitors without needing to load a new web page in order to process their request”(Got this - http://javascript.about.com/od/reference/a/javascriptpurpose.htm) As said in this, JavaScript adds behavior to your website.
JQuery:
JQuery is not easy. But once you put hard work into it and learn it, it will be fun to use. But in order to learn this you have to know JavaScript and JQuery, but this is one of the fun coding languages because with this, you can make animated things on websites or pictures. Not just animated things, you make alerts on your webpage or/and you can do many other things. Lots of big companies use this coding. For example, Google, Microsoft, IBM, and Netflix use this coding language!
PHP:

“One of the strongest and most significant features in PHP is its support for a Writing a database-enabled web page is incredibly simple using one of the database specific extensions” (from http://php.net/manual/en/intro-whatcando.php) PHP is a coding language that powers things like Facebook.

Bitcoins, What are they?


What are Bit coins? Bit coins are digital money that you can send through the Internet. Bit Coins are stored into your digital wallet, which is verified by a miner. A miner is certain people who make bit coins at a predictable rate. You can purchase a lot of things on the web with bit coins. But if you wan your money back from bit coins, you can exchange bit coins for money. And since no one really supports it yet, so a bit coin is worth 250$ today.
            Now I will talk about Bit Coin Mining. Let’s just say it’s not that easy. In order to “mine” Bit Coins, You need a computer that can be used to the max, meaning everything must be able to be used at 100% without heating over. Warning, do not use a laptop! It will destroy it! Also you need a way better graphics card. Now your computer will take a lot of energy, like 300 watts, and you electric bill will go up.
            Now Bit Coins are not that profitable, because it will probably take you a week just to make 1/3 of a Bit Coin because all the math in it.
