BitShares community has shown me in the past that they would be interested in starting up a coding group. The platform I personally have looked at is CodeAcademy.com because it is completely free for users to utilize, and tracks progress in a way that is both transparent and manageable.
However, I am currently looking for a few people to volunteer to be "tutors" for this project. If you are interested in this, there is much more I would like to talk to you about. If interested, please list yourself below in this thread or PM me with the subject line "Code Tutor".
If you know someone who would be good for this (or even better, is already doing it IRL), please add them to this thread or pm me with their name(s).
Thank you everyone and I look forward to helping you form Voltron!
