Want to build websites using Python? Didn't know that was possible? In this blog, we explore your options—and share the tool of choice we use at Aspire Coding Academy: Flask.

Git is an extremely sophisticated tool—and it’s also one of the most important ones in a developer’s toolkit. Early on in our after school program at Aspire Coding Academy, we teach students common git operations to get started.

Last chapter we walked through some coding 101s. In this chapter we are getting a taste of the flexibility of remote development. If you have ever interacted with sandbox coding platforms, you may have noticed some intentional guardrails. A common one is that many sandbox platforms cannot run servers that you can access via browser, for example when you are coding a website. Remote development doesn't have this limitation.

It’s time to write some code. In this chapter we’re getting a taste of the coding workflow. Remote development is cool but it gets limited pretty quick if all you can do is work in a sandbox, which is not the goal of this series. But before getting to the meat of things we need to cover a few 101s.

Welcome to Chapter 1 of ACA’s Remote Development Intro. By the end of this series, you'll have a working GitHub Codespace with a functional Python program. This chapter covers setup.

We're excited to announce the first entry of the WIP Initiative: Remote Development Intro. Before we dive in, let’s cover the basics of what remote development is and why it’s worth learning.

AI is turning out to be the keyword of this decade—and for good reason. I earned my degree in Computer Science before the age of Large Language Models (LLMs), and now I use them daily. What does software as a career look like going forward?

Cutting to the chase—In our opinion, Python is your winner here (usually). It’s beginner-friendly, widely used, and highly marketable.

It’s been a decade since I wrote my very first line of code—printing "Hello, World". Here are some of the coolest parts of coding that I’ve experienced first hand.

Anyone with internet access has unprecedented resources at their fingertips. AI-powered programming is on the rise, and software is evolving faster than ever. How should students starting in 2025 learn to code?
