About 60 students attended the Island’s first Hackathon yesterday to learn about computer coding and building their own websites. One of the Hackathon organisers, James Tucker, said: “Some of the students have been able to take what they learned here and move that from the Codecademy site and into a real webpage, so they have now got a presence on the web, which is their own thing that they produced themselves.” The budding programmers were able to get their partial websites online for free, using the free web-hosting system Neocities.

<blockquote>“What I'm trying to do with Neocities is re-enable that creativity, and show people that it isn’t just a nostalgia thing any more,” [Kyle Drake] says, adding that the site now hosts about 26,000 sites and has proven financially self-sustaining.</blockquote> <blockquote>“What I'm trying to do with Neocities is re-enable that creativity, and show people that it isn’t just a nostalgia thing any more,” [Kyle Drake] says, adding that the site now hosts about 26,000 sites and has proven financially self-sustaining.</blockquote>
