Coding is becoming more and more prominent in the world today. It is not only evident in the world of tech today, but it is spreading to other divisions such as finance, manufacturing, and healthcare. In fact it is predicted that the need for coding skills is growing at a rate 25% faster than jobs that need labor skills. Technology in the modern era is becoming more and more accesible, and with that comes the need for more and more tech oriented jobs. It was estimated that in 2015 26 million coding jobs were on the market. With this information it is suggested that not enough college students are gettting a head start in computer science in high school to meet the demands of the growing technology market.
I found this article quite interesting as I did not have any coding experience before starting this class. In fact I did not have any interest in computer science until this semester. The fact that coding is becoming more and more prevalent is something that I can see myself. It is clear that more and more labor jobs are being taken over by machines, and for machines to work someone needs to code the programs. Although, I got a late start to coding I am glad I am gainning the knowledge now than never.

I totally get what you mean! I had never even thought of taking a computer science class until some advisors and friends told me how important it was to have some understanding of it before I got a real job out of college.

ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree with your opinion. Coding is becoming easier for people. However, it still is not a easy skills to be fluent and I am still confused about the coding world. I hope I can understand it better after more programmings. Hope someday,coders can design a real easy way for people to code.
