As a trained computer scientist and CEO of a global tech company, I would be remiss if I didn’t teach my daughter at least the basics of programming and coding.

The folks over at CourseReport.com were nice enough to post a guest blog from us this week that talked a little bit about why we choose to teach .NET rather than some of the more "popular" bootcamp technologies like Python or Ruby (Spoiler Alert: high demand! more jobs! more money!).
