I have a friend who is incarcerated, and is dedicated to learning how to code, no matter how slow or arduous the process may be. He has no access to a computer, just books and writing utensils. While it may be very difficult, what are suggestions you have on how to give him the best chance for success?
Even if he's not learning a specific language, what are some background concepts he can learn in depth that will help him understand coding? I recommended he study algorithms as a starting point but I am not a dev and am not sure how to proceed without a computer.
I realize this is an unusual question, but I greatly appreciate any responses. It's sad that someone so badly wants to improve themselves and can't easily do so because of our archaic prison system. I want to help give him a chance to have a real profession once released. Thank you!
