The Languages of the Internet

As readers of this blog will already know, I've been very interested in the role of language in the development of the ICT sector here in Korea and around the world. (see, for example, this post)  Today The New York Times has an article that highlights the surging interest, all around the world, in learning computer codes which are the fundamental language of web content.  Today, whether one is interested in social networking, blogging, or just putting up a simple web site, a knowledge of the various coding languages involved is a big advantage and, I might add, a "moving target."
