Update August 2023

Here's a lovely link from Emma @ Study Map who has used this WITS page to learn to code. It is A Beginner’s Glossary of Coding and Programming Terms and it's a practical support if you want to learn to code. Thank you Emma and Laura of Study Map for sharing this link. We hope you find it useful.
