Hello, subscribers!
Here’s a good one for you aspiring coders and programmers!
3 SQL walked into a NoSQL bar. A little while later… they walked out.
Because they couldn’t find a table!
Get it?
Enough with the jokes, let’s get to the good stuff!
Apple Introduces Swift Playgrounds
Apple recently launched Swift Playgrounds, a new mobile platform that will give everyone the chance to learn the language that powers their devices. More specifically, Playgrounds is an app, for the iPhone and iPad, that will teach children – and adults – how to code.
Apple demoed the new platform on stage at WWDC, showing how lessons in Playgrounds work.
One of the demo lessons had users learning how to manipulate weight, gravity, and size using code. This was done during an emoji-stacking game. As players made changes to the code, it would change how the game behaved and operated.
There are lots of little interactive lessons like this to teach folks how to code in a fun, intuitive way. The idea is to spice up the experience, by making it a bit more interesting than just reading a textbook.
It’s an exciting prospect. If you’d like to learn more, feel free to read our blog post on the news!

Language Cheat Sheets are Here!
We’ve been working diligently to put together some useful programming and language cheat sheets for everyone!
Programming is not easy, especially if you’re not good at memorizing common syntax. Depending on the language you are working with, you must remember your fair share of syntax, commands, and functions. Even if you work with code every day, it’s information that’s easy to forget.
That’s exactly what our cheat sheets are for. They contain a collection of notes, facts, and commands you can reference at any given time. Think of them as a study card, but for programming. They’re handy when you find yourself stuck and need help getting past an error.
Here are all the languages we support:
