Closing the IT and cybersecurity skills gap with programming games

Kacy Zurkus - CSO Online

Earlier this month, I wrote about ThinkFun's new programming game series. They generously sent me the set so that I could take a stab at them, and I'll admit I was a little nervous. I'm not a coder. I've tried to teach myself a little bit about HTML, but I've had only enough success to understand how to correct errors in my blog posts.
