Did you ever wonder how websites, games, and smart-phone apps created by people who made their living from these? Have you in your wildest dream, thought of creating apps and designing your own website?
Well, your dream is about to come true. Even your kids as young as 4th graders can design his/her own website.
In this modern, technology jammed times, a know-how is definitely an advantage. Having the knowledge will not only make one a mere user of technology, but a creator. Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs are creators who made it really big.
