Ever wondered what ‘coding’ actually means? In this episode of Mr. Fred’s Tech Talks, we strip away the tech jargon and explain coding in a way that anyone can understand. You’ll learn how coding is like writing a recipe for a computer, discover where it shows up in your daily life, and explore the different ‘flavors’ of coding languages.

We’ll also share a Tech Tip of the Week to help you try coding today without installing a thing.

This episode is based on my GetMeCoding.com blog post ‘What is Coding?’, perfect for beginners of all ages. And stick around, because next time we’ll answer the big follow-up question: Why Learn to Code?
