To be honest, I'm not surprised to hear a statement like this from Scott Hanselman. Learning to code is hard... when you have to do it inside Microsoft's byzantine, arbitrary .NET ecosystem, with its mandatory thousand-button GUI toolchains and fifty-file project baselines. In environments with less absurd barriers to entry, like JavaScript, learning to code is easy (especially in light of the things Scott mentions in that post, such as the vast swaths of community support available when running into problems).
