I support the Southwest Region of the Microsoft Philanthropies TEALS Program (Technology Education and Literacy in Schools). I learned to code in the 1970's and I have a breadth of shallow CS knowledge with some deeper spots here and there around coding, webdev, and accessibility. I lost count of how many languages in which I've gotten well past the "Hello world" program. Plus BASIC, Fortran, COBOL, xBase, and anything else that preceded my reading K&R as that's where I encountered the paradigm.
