Tap, tap, tap my computer repeats, resonating softly in concordance with my fingers. I’m using my computer as a way to command my thoughts and translate it into code so that my eyes can visually conceptualize my ideas. I write in a coding language called Python, which is openly available to anyone who can use the hypertext transfer protocol available on all personal computers dating back to the introduction of IBM’s 3270 terminal emulator. Ever since I was ten years of age, I have been writing code to complete various tasks that my mind sees fit. Now, of course, my ability at the time was quite unsophisticated however, with a bit of effort, I’ve been able to hone my skill. The ability to code is considered a skill due to the fact that

During adolescence, I lived in a rather posh town. Due to my geographical location when I was born I was placed at an advantage due to the fact that my school was well funded. One advantage that we had was a fully operational computer lab that was open before, during, and after school. My school was one of many literary sponsors that enabled me to research code. While they did not directly tell me to research code, they provided me with a space to work to expand upon and literary knowledge I chose. They benefited from this exchange since their students were becoming well-rounded. Another factor of living in a privileged town was access to the internet. The website Code Academy became my first literary sponsor to develop my coding ability. The students who wrote the lessons may or may not have suppressed information within their teachings. However, they taught information through the website, modeled the information in various forms, and they used other literacies to their advantage in order to develop their lesson plans. While the economic status of my town was prosperous, my own social class was also an …show more content…
This is due to that fact that I’ve determined which learning method is more effective to me. I understand that I need a sponsor who has an individual approach. I’ve attempted to take other online classes since my coding literacy has come to the light. These classes were highly ineffective to me, now as I write this essay I understand that this is due to my priority learning method. New literacies that are within my respective field are simple to learn as well. Most of the language I use to associate my coding literacy can be transferred over to a similar but different literacy within the same field. I understand that if I want to gain a specific literacy I can attempt to understand it in terms of its neighboring literacies. Perhaps I already possess a neighboring literacy that I haven’t considered using the terms to this new literacy’s
