Hi Ciaran,
thanks for getting in touch. CoderDojo is aimed at 7-17 year olds, but our resources are open to anyone for free. Check out our resources here. There are some Dojos running in the Galway area, but these are aimed specifically at 7-17 year olds. Another useful site are code academy, which offer introduction tutorials to computer languages for free. Udemy also have some useful courses, though these generally cost some money. Best of luck with your retirement and hope you have fun learning coding! Nuala
I am coming up to my retirement in July, and would love to take up coding as a pastime initially, and hopefully leading to a more serious interest if things go well. Most of the classes seem to be directed to children, are there also classes for people like myself? I am a resident of Galway city. I would be obliged if you could advise of any classes locally , or any internet based classes to get me started .
