Codecademy: Hour Of Code Goes Universal For iPad, Gains New Features
January 23, 2014
Codecademy: Hour of Code has just gone universal, just over a month after its launch in the App Store.
The official iOS app of the popular online interactive platform Codecademy offers a free and simple way to get started with the rewarding yet otherwise daunting world of programming. With the lessons afforded by the app, you can get going on your way to creating your very own websites, apps, and games.
Codecademy: Hour of Code is so named because it initially offered an introductory course on the basics of programming that can be completed in less than an hour. But now, according to the Codecademy team, "The Hour of Code is now longer than an hour! To celebrate, we've added a bunch of cool stuff for you."
First and foremost, through its latest update, Codecademy: Hour of Code has gained universal support. The app was released early last month for iPhone and iPod touch. And now, it has been optimized for iPad and iPad mini as well.
The latest update to Codecademy: Hour of Code also encourages you to apply what you learn by making and sharing a webpage directly from the app, with your photo, bio, and more.
The new version of Codecademy also lets you start learning HTML on the go and pick a path for future learning on your desktop.
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 7.0 or later, the new universal version of Codecademy is available now in the App Store for free.
