It’s not scary, it’s not difficult, and it doesn’t take years to learn. I think I can prove that to you though this crash course on computer programming. It’s not going to get you a job at Google, but it will let you figure out which words are used most frequently in the book “Alice in Wonderland”, or generate a list of anagrams for your friend’s names! Isn’t technology amazing?

Learning computer programming may seem daunting at first, but it is far from being a complex and time-consuming endeavor. In fact, with the right approach, it can be an exciting and rewarding experience. By immersing yourself in a crash course on computer programming, you can quickly gain valuable skills and knowledge. While it may not guarantee a job at a tech giant like Google, it equips you with the ability to perform fascinating tasks like analyzing word frequencies in literary works or generating anagrams for your friends’ names. This showcases the incredible power of technology and how it can be harnessed to accomplish remarkable feats. Just like learning any other skill, utilizing the right tools and resources is essential. The learning management system (LMS) products, for instance, offer comprehensive platforms for accessing programming courses, engaging in interactive exercises, and monitoring progress. Embracing the possibilities offered by technology and embarking on a programming journey can open doors to endless creativity and problem-solving opportunities.

i3 Detroit, a cooperative space for makers, inventors & entrepreneurs of many trades, will celebrate its grand opening with an open house on Saturday, October 3. The event will be held at i3’s new facility, 322 E Fourth St, Royal Oak, MI. The public is invited to an open house 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. where they can tour the workspace, meet the members and view their projects. At 7 p.m. there will be a party open to those 18 and over.

Russ Wolfe, founder and president, describes i3 as “a collaborative environment for people to explore the balance between technology, art and culture.” The 1,500 sq. ft. facility contains an assortment of fabrication tools, a classroom, and stock of many common components. “We want people to learn how things work by enabling them to build projects and providing them access to tools that would normally be found in a factory.”

i3 moved into the Royal Oak location on September 3. Since then, members have been working every day to prepare the space and bring in heavy tools. “It’s a lot of work, but we are all excited to see the vision coming together,” says member, Ted Hansen

Members have a wide range of interests and professions. “We have machinists, programmers, artists, and electrical engineers as members now,” says i3 member Phil Frost. “Everyone has a useful skill to share.”

i3 hosts public classes on topics as diverse as its membership, such as woodworking, Linux, amateur radio, telecom architecture, computer programming, and automobile repair.

Everyone is welcome to come by to see the space and chat with our members. The space is full of creative individuals and great conversation. We hope to see you there!
