It’s 2014, and, if you haven’t heard yet: Programming is a useful skill to have. Web programming is especially useful, and, if you don’t know how to code yet — we wanted to help spur you onward.
Today forward, we’re going to be offering a $100 account credit to any user that completes Codecademy’s PHP course, and another $100 for completing their HTML & CSS courses.
Why? Why not :) Coincidentally, we’re a web hosting provider (primarily PHP) that’s hosts over 8,000 websites. If you don’t have an account with us yet, you should consider learning more about us.
Get started, sign-up is free at codecademy. Send us screenshot upon completion & we’ll add the credit to your account!
Side note: I was able to personally complete the course in roughly ~6 hours, aided by a little Collier & Mckeel (an especially wonderful Whiskey from Tennessee), and solid music over the course of three evenings.
p.s. In the Chattanooga area? Between ages of 12-18? Dev Dev is doing a summer of code for $250, and we’d be happy to pay for your spot in the class, just get in touch at support@fused.com
If you’re not within that age range, sign-up at the local library for a library card — they offer free access to treehouse, another fantastic place to learn to code: Learn more here.

Support from hell
We’ve all been there. You run into some problem with some software, device or service and you require some help. You’re often left navigating some phone system or website that resembles a “choose your own adventure” book written by the devil himself.
