Ooh, it's cool that there are a variety of languages that are used! I'm guessing that each school must be different. I'm thinking that my school might be doing Python because that's what's being used at GCSE.
I think I will do it, if I'm still interested when A Level picking comes around. I've submitted my first task to code-in and it was really fun to do (it was GitHub basics (Zulip))! :D Thanks for the info! - Ali On Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 9:26:40 PM UTC, Mason Manley wrote: > > Hi Ali! > > Of course, I don't mind you asking. > > So far it has been okay.
