====Puppy School - Hacking Homework====
~If you don't know how to code, then you can learn even if you think you can't. Thousands of people have learned programming from these fine books:
~==[[http://learnpythonthehardway.org Learn Python The Hard Way]]==
~==[[http://ruby.learncodethehardway.org Learn Ruby The Hard Way]]==
==Learn Code The Hard Way==
~I'm also working on a whole series of programming education books at [[http://learncodethehardway.org learncodethehardway.org]]
~These are works in progress, and feedback is welcome.
~==[[http://c.learncodethehardway.org Learn C The Hard Way]]==
~==[[http://sql.learncodethehardway.org Learn SQL The Hard Way]]==
