Summary

Annette Vee attempts to lay out what is at stake when the ability to programming computers is framed as a literacy. As her primary approach, Vee offers a series of arguments about the way the notion of literacy changes in light of coding practice, placing her analysis against the studies of print and New Media literacy, building on and extending these theories into the realm of code. She examines the social and cultural context in which coding emerges and notes the affordances code offers for the communication of ideas. While noting their material and conceptual differences, Vee notes that code and textual writing are inseparably intertwined
