Information Processing - Getting Started

This class could be called many things (coding, computer science, digital design) but in the end it will be about 3 things and the way you approach them:

1. Learn new skills.
2. Create original work.
3. Work together.

To get you started thinking about what you want to explore and learn I will start you on a tour of what I know to be available online. If you have any suggestions/tips please leave them in the COMMENT SECTION.
