Everyone,
I'm looking for references to the informal (trans. extracurricular) learning of programming. We all know (or may be) geeks of great prowess who never took a CS course. These people frequently relied on
the Internet to receive help, get feedback, etc. Anyone know of any research pieces that detail (or at least reference) this phenomenon? jeremy hunsinger jhuns@vt.edu on the ibook www.cddc.vt.edu www.cddc.vt.edu/jeremy www.cddc.vt.edu/jeremy/blog
