→ Learn Java

"Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation."

→ Learn Python

"Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C++ or Java. The language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale."

About Us

CopyrightPending is a group of students who participated in a group during the Women In Computing (WIC) Hackathon at the Rochester Institute of Technology. They were faced with problem solving in the realm of teaching children how to program or solving a women and gender issue. They decided that they could do both. CopyrightPending is a diverse group of girls, coming from different majors and skill levels, who came together to solve these issues. The product, Codefucious, aims to teach children to code while also helping women advance in the field of technology.
