What Schools Don’t Teach: How to Code

” One million of the best jobs in America may go unfilled…
because only 1-in-10 schools teach students how to code.“

Some memorable quotes:

• “Everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer… because it teaches you how to think.”  

  -Steve Jobs
   

• “You don’t have to be a genius to know how to program. You just need to be determined.”
• “To be able to come up with an idea, and see it in your hands, and then be able to press a button and have millions of people to look at it,… I think we are the first generation to have that kind of experience.”
• “It is the closest thing we have to a Superpower.”
   

• “Learning how to program doesn’t start as wanting to learn all of computer science or trying to master this discipline… it start of because I wanted to something that was fun…”
• “The whole limit in the system is that there are just not enough people trained in the field today.”
