At what point will there be too many classes on Udacity? Also, what is the one class you would like to see be created? Also, thanks for Udacity.

What would you say to people who want to learn to code? What programming languages would you recommend? What programming languages do you know?

Do it often. Coding is a skill like riding a bike. If you have a choice between coding and reading a book about coding, do coding first, then read the book when you get stuck. Don't read the book first…

Of course.... I highly recommend CS101 at Udacity and the subsequent classes. All of them focus on making you learn coding by doing it yourself.
