I have a feeling life would be much easier if I could program. Sadly, I don’t sit on that side of the Geek fence. I have to rely on others to create things for me. Are you a beginning programmer, or someone who wants to try? Recently, I was doing a video on another type of programming tool when my neighbor sent me an IM. He asked me if I had ever heard of the website HacketyHack. No, I hadn’t. So of course, I set out to learn… and learn, I did!
In the 1980s, a language called BASIC swept the countryside. It was a language beginners could use to make their computer speak, play music. You could easily draw a big smiley face or a panda or whatever you like! But not just BASIC. Other languages like: LOGO and Pascal were right there on many computers. One of Hackety Hack’s sincere pledges is to make the most common code very easy and short. Downloading an MP3 should be one line of code. A blog should be very few.
Presently, Ruby is the only language taught by Hackety Hack. And it’s a great one to start with. Ruby was born in Japan, but has found a wealth of friends across the world. As you can see above, Ruby is a combination of simple words and punctuation.
All of this, the whole of it, is totally free to you. My wish is to spread infectious hacking smarts all over the world. And so Hackety Hack is yours forever at no cost: give it away, take it apart, learn-learn-learn without a 2nd thought.
At this point in time, HacketyHack is only available for Windows. However, they’re working on both a Mac and Linux version. Programming has gotten overwhelming to many people, myself included. It’s just gotten so complicated and involved. The beauty of HacketyHack is that it takes the difficulty out, and makes coding simple and fun again. Anyone age 13 and up will be able to quickly grasp the basics, and be off and coding in no time.
If you’re thinking of getting into programming – or if you’ve always been too scared to try before now – download HacketyHack and give it a try.

My comment is this: I am wondering if charter communications is censoring traffic. I can’t reach HacketyHack.net no matter how hard I try and I have tried using a proxy to get around things,I have tried different web browsers, all to no avail. I think this is despicable when companies want to control access to what you can learn, read, or see.
I keep seeing this message; the connection was reset while waiting on a response from the server.
I Am a Senior at UCMO at Warrensburg Mo, My major is “networking technology” and I have 2 A.S. one in telecommunications and one in Networking Technology. I have no problem figuring out with vrlite, (visual route lite,) that I’m not hitting the server at HacketyHack.net period. I’m getting hung up several hops before getting there.
Whose doing the censoring or traffic monitoring or whatever in the hexx they are doing to prevent sites from being visited should be against the law.
Censorship does nothing but keep the ignorant just that< IGNORANT!! It protects nothing but the status quo of those who have and the heck with all the rest.
I spend my money just like everyone else does for unfettered access to PUBLIC DOMAIN INFORMATION.
Please check out the issue and see what happens to you when you attempt reach the site.

I reset my router and ran visual route lite 2008 again and it came back with a.) This route is available in 12 hops, with a response time from the server of [44ms], an ip address of 72.232.19.34,and b.) an alias of Cewki.com.
When I attempted the Cewki.com url, I get a search page from Charter.net AND a warning that this site DOES NOT EXIST!!
HUH? They are definitely blocking traffic from this site. This is crap as far as I’m concerned and I wonder why someone feels like imposing their ideology upon ME. I’m a somewhat educated man who is by law, able to make decisions for myself as to appropriate or inappropriate information and what I choose to do with it.
If you get the chance see if the site is Still available to you.

This is a great easy for people to start to learn Ruby. Note one thing though the learning tool comes from ruby’s own site and its called Try Ruby, and this application is basically a web browser. Which is actually pretty cool that they can put a ruby command line in a browser. Anyways just thought that was interesting so you can go to it by going to ruby’s webpage http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ and clicking on Try Ruby! (in your browser) in the right side of their page or going here http://tryruby.hobix.com/. I might be wrong bit i think this is the where it came from.

i don’t think programming is difficult. I’m 15 and started in I think 2003 with HTML. One year later I started programming in Visual Basic.

Nope, programming is all that truly hard at all. You just have to have the dedication, time, and patience to learn.
I’m currently learning C++
And I’m 14 years old.
