# Coding-Friendly Notebooks Baron Fig x Codecademy's 'Computerworld' is a Paper Notebook for Coders By Joey Haar | Published 2018-05-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computerworld References: [producthunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/computerworld-notebook) & [baronfig](https://www.baronfig.com/products/computerworld) Coding is obviously a digital practice, but in theory, coding can exist anywhere, and the 'Computerworld' notebook from Baron Fig and Codecademy shows that [coding in analog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unleash-your-genius) is not only possible, but it can be beautiful. The new notebook is aesthetically in line with the current zeitgeist of a certain internet crowd, but it also features design aspects that make it perfect for people who like to work on [tricky pieces of code](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codenote) by hand before migrating their work to the glowing screen. Computerworld notebooks come in three cover designs: Hardware Fields, Data Valley, and Software Skies. Those clean, cartoonish covers contain lined pages on the left for taking notes (as one will do during a Codecademy class), while the right-hand pages are ruled specifically for coding, meaning that the lines are numbered and there are shadowed bullets to help guide indentations.
