Computer Programmer teaches homeless to code

If you passed a homeless person on the street, would you give them a dollar? Or just keep on walking?

One computer programmer has a different idea. Instead of money, he gave one homeless man a laptop and the chance to turn his life around.

Bill Weir has the IDEA OutFront.

    Great story...

    Read about this by Rebecca Grant in VentureBeat earlier this October, but still a great story. Also, a nice complement to the segment on The Last Mile @ San Quentin a few weeks ago.
