New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg just announced he will learn how to code.

Bloomberg declared on the microblogging website Twitter that he was to join Codecademy, a New York-based coding website that had recently named 2012 as the "Code Year."

The 69-year-old mayor of New York City may be the first politician to take social media interest a step further by advancing into the digital coding system.
