A list of beginner friendly distros I would recommend to my friends if I had any.

GNOME

For GNOME I picked Fedora because it offers a vanilla GNOME experience and is frequently updated while remaining rock-solid.

Download

elementaryOS

Pantheon, the elementary desktop, is only shipped by the guys over at elementary, so that choice was quickly made.

Handleiding voor de basis van programmeren

Waarom is programmeren belangrijk

Dit zullen veel van jullie je misschien afvragen. Waarom moeten we kunnen programmeren, anderen kunnen het toch ook voor ons doen. De realiteit is helaas dat digitale apparaten een steeds grotere rol in ons leven spelen. Denk er maar eens over na: je winkelt vaak online via webshops, betaalt met een online betaalsysteem, bankiert online, speelt multiplayer spelletjes, gebruikt social media via je smartphone en binchwatched netflix op je smart tv. Het is belangrijk dat we in iedergeval tot op een zeker niveau begrijpen hoe deze apparaten werken. Hoe kan jij anders in je toekomstige werk met computers werken en beslissingen maken over technologie. Juist de onwetendheid van veel mensen zorgt voor enorme ICT problemen in de overheid omdat de mensen die erover beslissen er geen vestand van hebben.

De basis van programmeren

Hier een korte uitleg over de basisbeginselen van programmeren. Geschreven door Robin Boers voor Digitale Geletterdheid. Enjoy!
