Using Microfinance to Develop Coding Talent (Video)

Here's a quote from the CodersTrust website: 'CodersTrust is the brainchild of Ferdinand Kjærulff. As a Captain of the Danish army he served as recovery officer in Iraq after the fall of Saddam. He pioneered a recovery project with the allied forces, bringing internet and e-learning to the citizens of the region in which he was stationed. The project was a massive success and inspired him to eventually create CodersTrust – supported by Danida – with a vision to democratize access to education via the internet on a global scale.' A lofty vision, indeed. But with help from the original microfinance company, Grameen Bank, and the Danish International Development Agency (Danida), it seems to be coming true.

    nice try. on behalf of all the slashdotters who have tolerated incremental skullfucking of the original slashcode and bullshit that is Beta, This is why your userbase is dwindling and participation is falling. Noscript, microblock, adaway, and yet after all this we still get 1080p slashvertising turds that magic-play when we click to read the comments that make your site worthwhile at all?
    on behalf of all of us, Fuck you dice. heres hoping https://soylentnews.org/ takes off.

    People with such a poor grasp of the word 'automatically' should not be allowed anywhere near a website.
