Could YOU crack this code to land yourself a job?

Could YOU crack this code to land yourself a job? 

Recruiter releases first ever advert written entirely in computer language.

A new London-based website called Woto has a job listing written in code

It claims to be the first ever advert for employment of the sort

Applicants will need to crack the programming language in order to apply

The move is designed to highlight the growing important of coding in the UK, with schools now adding coding to their curriculum

Woto is a blogging site that lets people share content on custom-built pages

Do you know your ‘if’ statements from your ‘for’ loops?

If so, you might have a shot at the world’s first job advert written entirely in code.

Created by London-based Woto, the advert is looking for a creative designer to join the company - but they’ll need to be adept at coding to apply.

Speaking to MailOnline, Sophie Kurta from Sense Communications, 

who is handling the launch of the site, said there was a possibility more such 

job listings may go live in future as it is a ‘fun way of doing job adverts.’

She explained that as coding in schools in the UK is becoming a bigger issue, 

with it now on the curriculum for primary and secondary school pupils, 

the advert was seen as a good way to keep up with the times.

Excellent!!

Microsoft Edge make a web note

It is always amazing how you find things by accident.

In the new Microsoft Edge browser, there is a icon on the top right that says:

“make a web note”

It is really great and it allows people to write, draw and highlight directly onto the webpage.

Once you click on the make a web note on the top, the new menu 

The menu pops up

You can click on the pen and choose a colour.

and then draw on the webpage.

You can choose the highlighter and choose a colour

If you make a mistake you can clear all the ink that you have created.

You can also type directly onto the page

You can copy a selected area

Once you have finished, you can then save the page

or you can share the page via your mail or OneNote

This is really great and I can see how this can be used

very effectively for teaching and learning.
