New Coder? Check out Code Newbie!

Since I started this I have tried to be somewhat active on Twitter (follow me @dalrymp6!).  In doing so, I have come across a handful of people, programmers, and groups that are relevant to those of us learning to code.  One of my most recent (and best) finds is a site called CodeNewbie.  Code Newbie is a great group of people with articles and chats running the gamut from job hunting tips to a forum where you can ask anything and get answers from experienced programmers.

When I first visited I was a little hesitant, but in my brief time there I have really enjoyed reading the forums and getting some feedback on both my ideas about learning coding and on an actual simple program I have been working on.  While the forum is not the biggest one I have ever seen, between this, the chats, and the blog I have found it to be a really great resource for someone like me just starting out.

While I'm at it, here are my latest coding stats:
