Information society is a society, which consists of qualified individuals that meet the requirements of the era, that is to say, people that utilize the information in every field of life and produce them when necessary. From past to the present day, a wide variety of tools has been used to share and spread information. When people mention programming skill, the first thing to think about is to find a solution to a specific problem. Another important point here is to make the solution compatible with the computer environment. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the attitude of the students towards learning to code (programming) regarding the computers, tablets and other devices that they use in school and classroom. From this point forth, a questionnaire study was conducted with the Near East College students, who take selective coding (programming) course in the school, which attaches importance on smart board and tablets. The findings show that the academic achievement scores of the students do not significantly create statistical difference on their attitudes towards learning to code (programming), yet their attitudes change according to the gender.
