I've only played with it for about 10 minutes, but it "just worked" to get a quick "hello" text-to-speech app running on my device. -- Brian St. Pierre On Wed, Dec 23, 2015 at 11:24 AM, Kenny Lussier <kluss...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > My daughter has expressed an interest in learning to code.
