Simply send an email to iacoders-join@iaccessibility.net. You will need to confirm your email address, which may be in your spam folder after you join. This week’s challenge is to build a hello world application that says Hello World. The app will then ask the user their name and then Print the person’s name back out after the word Hello. You will need to use code to print items to the screen, use variables, and request user information. You may use whatever language you like to make this solution, but do not put compiled code in the list.
