The most challenging part of learning anything new is often simply getting started.
Unfortunately, when it comes to programming, the first few minutes (or more) are often
occupied with cumbersome details such as setting up an environment, which results in very
little time spent actually writing code. We were certain there must be a better way.
Code School has been doing exciting
things with learning to program online. This is why we decided to team up with them to create
a way for developers to learn to use the Google Drive API, with no setup
required. In the new Discover Drive course, you can learn at your own pace from your
web browser. You’ll spend less time fussing with coding environments and more time writing
code.
