Overview

Learn about LOLCODE, an esoteric programming language based on internet memes and cats!

#### Happy April Fool's Day! ####

To celebrate, this is a mini-course on an esoteric programming language... LOLCODE! Inspired by the old lolcats internet memes, this is a real programming language with catchphrases like `"I CAN HAS"` and `"KTHXBYE"` in place of traditional programming keywords.

#### Note on Prerequisites: ####

We wouldn't recommend you use this as your first course in programming; take our [Welcome to Codecademy](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ) course and [one other language](https://www.codecademy.com/welcome/find-a-course) first. Once you're comfortable with another language, LOLCODE can be a fun diversion.
