CodeYear Catalogers

CodeAcademy is offering an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in getting started with coding: Code Year. Each week they'll be emailing out to anyone that signs up an interactive lesson on coding. Code Academy offers some fantastic interactive courses, so you learn in a supportive environment.

Naturally this has piqued the interest of a number of catalogers that have been interested in learning to code or want to brush up or learn new code languages, myself included. Catalogers work with massive amounts of curated bibliographic data, and being able to manipulate it in new and different ways and in ever increasing amounts is key as we move forward into the bibliographic future and the world of linked data and the semantic web.

So I started compiling names. This is my curated list of catalogers on Twitter participating in CodeYear so far:

Add yourself to the list by posting your Twitter handle as a comment. I'll update as needed. :) You can also send me a message via Twitter (@slmcdanold) and add yourself that way. Or use the newly created hashtag #catcode (thanks @chrpr for the suggestion)!

There is now an actual LIST on Twitter: catcode. Subscribe!

If you're not on Twitter, let me know where we should email you when we get some sort of wiki/webpage/IRC channel going so we can all suffer learn together and help each other.
