They way I first learned was on an Atari 8-bit. I had friends that also had the same computer. We wrote programs and showed each other what we made or learned.

They way I first learned was on an Atari 8-bit. I had friends that also had the same computer. We wrote programs and showed each other what we made or learned. I would hope that something similar is still possible. The most obvious is learning javascript and making browser plugins with the ubiquitous "View source" as inspiration (though much less so with React etc, but you can still mess with the properties/css). Ideally it would be good to get set up to auto-deploy a website (e.g. Netlify) based on code pushes, even if the setup is done for them. This way they can have a hobby website that they can keep changing and the results are immediately show-n-tellable to anyone on the internet. For backend, maybe something like Firebase or equivalent.
