If you sent me an email with a suggestion...
Thank you-- but I am swamped!
Apologies, but I may never find the time to answer you.
And since I now get thousands more emails than I ever did, I must simply purge them during winter break, spring break and summer break.
So, I simply do not have time to complete lots of updates to this tab.
I only use this tab to make it easier for my students to find things I need them to find during my classes.
So please just carry on and May the Force be with you!

Thank you to Liza and Denise for contributing another great resource, kid's guide to coding link. Liza suggests that it has a lot of fun activities listed at the bottom. She thought it was great for kids starting out in coding! Best wishes for your future, have fun, and keep learning!
Thanks for the link James and Vanessa:
Vanessa wrote in to say that her student, James, suggested I include a link to this helpful guide:
Programming Guide For Video-Gamers
The guide offers a number of links to video game development resources, note: some of which have been removed.
However, it links to many interesting articles and artifacts on building video games, learning to code, and even provides links to information on careers in game development.
Thank you for the resource and best of luck in your future James!
