Learning to Code, Coding to Learn : Jonathan Buchanan at TEDxToledo

A self-described computer fanatic, Jonathan has developed mad skills in everything from php and MySQL to Ruby, Rails, Javascript and all points in between. He's the world's youngest developer to have an app in the App Store that he coded entirely on his own and he's got several more in the pipeline. Jonathan is a big-thinker, too -- after questioning why social sharing sites work as they do, he started developing Daystream, a social journaling ecosystem, with his dad and plans to launch it before he begins Middle School.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
