The Hour of Code is an initiative to give children a flavour of programming in a single hour, with the hope that they’ll continue their exploration afterwards. The Foundation have just released a set of tutorials and resources to support Hour of Code and, at the same time, have given a launch date of “end of March” for their education website launch.

I’m ever so glad that my assumption of “weeks rather than months” was correct – I’d rather hung my reputation on it in some quarters!

The choice of GitHub to store the majority of the resources is an interesting one and I hope it doesn’t put people off contributing. But, I guess it’s a fairly safe choice as a ‘sort-of’ CMS and as a code-storage device it can’t be beaten IMHO.

Take a look at these new resources now

There is also a blog post about how to contribute to these resource.
