26th International Association for Management of Technology Conference - IAMOT 2017

Communication is one the cornerstones of humanity. We can communicate orally or with gestures and more recently we started communicating via writing. This written communication evolved with our technology. We came to a point where it is difficult to imagine our lives without social networks, in which written messages are core. Such fact is interconnected with the always increasing need and desire for productivity. And with the advances of technology there is an increasing need for productivity, quality and minimum cost. To achieve such goals there is demand for people with specific skills, the need for people who understand how to program or at least who actually understand how programming works. In order to teach people those pressing abilities and making use of the need to communicate, we propose in this paper a social network for the teaching of programming languages. This social network should allow people to post tutorials, links, videos anything regarding programming. People interested in learning will have easy access to the content posted by more experienced users. The actual effect of such network is still being evaluated.
