One in the hand is a videoblog with attitude that teaches you how to use your Treo. I’d love something like this that teaches me how to program!

Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

Dude as a former Microsoftie you had full access to all that. One of our best kept secrets (why its like a secret baffles me) is the Microsoft Electronic Learning Library and there are “How To” videos in Flash format, complete with interaction to simulate your being in the application to teach you just about anything you want to know from using Office, to administering servers, to ….. yup… programming.

Michael: but I didn’t have time when I was a Microsoft employee. 🙂
Put them out there for my son to learn. He’s the one who actually could make a difference in the world.

Heh heh, I know how you feel about the no time. 🙂
I will say this for the kids end. I worked as a volunteer at my kids old school up in PA before I transferred to our southeast office and one of the things that Microsoft has for kids at schools is similar to an Enterprise agrrement but only runs around 1,200 for a whole school and includes the OS, Office, Servers, and full multimedia web based training for all of that plus others just like programming so there is a good chance whatever school he goes to will have it and just not know what to do with it. Check with them and if they need any helpp on how to set it up for use let me know and maybe I could do a remote help session with them. The kids are definately where its at and sure pick it up much easier than us old farts. 😉

Yeah, have your son learn how to program. I wish I’d known how to when I was in high school. I could have avoided all those crappy summer jobs I did back then and been doing real work for good pay. My suggestion is he should start with C#. Three reasons. It’s in demand. It’s got a ton of learning material out there for it. Making cool stuff happen is pretty easy for a beginner compared to some other languages.
I’ve used Java and it’s like C# but Java’s libraries make no sense to the beginner but C#’s .NET libraries are organized pretty well. Oh, and you get that really easy to use IDE of the express editions.

That’s a great site and he’s got a really fun style of presenting. I don’t even use a Treo anymore, but I think I’ll ask him to branch out and do some Windows Mobile device videos!

Robert… this post may or may not fit you. But it does fit many of the folks who “want to learn to program”.
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000635.html
Some people have it, some don’t. Personally, I think anyone can learn to write basic code. But to be a programmer? I don’t think it is learned, so much as your born with it.
Think about any art based industry. Most people don’t learn it from scratch. They have an intuitive sense of things, and they improve their skills from there.
