It has gotten to the point that it is virtually impossible to do business without relying on a computer for some reason or other. For that reason, programmers are becoming an invaluable asset for companies around the world.
And the job market for programmers is growing every year. That’s a trend we can expect to continue into the future, which means this is a valuable qualification for our kids and “adults” to have as they grow up and go into the job market.
This is one of the reasons You Should Join DevWorld Tech Academy Now – the earlier the better.

Coding Extends Far Beyond the Tech Industry
When coding came onto the scene, only the technology sector could make use of it. That is no longer the case. Actually, many of the job openings that exist for programmers aren’t even in tech companies.
Some of them are in health care, others in government, others in finance, and some in traditional manufacturing. Even marketers could do with coding skills with the advent of digital marketing.
Coding isn’t just for software engineering graduates anymore. Many jobs make it one of the job requirements, and the salaries are higher than average to reflect its importance. There are also plenty of boot camps across the country to help job seekers learn how to code. The fact that they’re popping up like mushrooms with no end in sight is a clear sign that there is high demand for them.
As such, coding is an important skill for your and your children to acquire. By engaging them, we are giving them a vital skill that they will be able to use in the future to achieve their dreams. The trends are such that, with time, coding will be as basic a skill as reading and writing. To not teach our children this skill is to leave them handicapped for the future.
To truly understand where the field of coding is going, and why we should teach it to our kids and “adults”, we need to first understand how important it is.
Coding is a lot like teaching, only you’re teaching a computer, rather than a human, to perform a specific task. To communicate with the computer effectively, you have to speak in a language that the computer can understand, known as the programming language.
That code has not always looked the same, and very few people today will be able to understand code from six or seven decades ago. At the very beginning, code was written in the form of holes on punch cards, which were loaded into a computer. From there, it went on to numbers, and then words.
Today, computer code looks almost like the English we use in conversation. This evolution has come about to make it not only easier for programmers to teach computers efficiently and effectively, but also so that it is easier to learn how to code in the first place.
With more people being able to communicate with computers because of the ease of using computer languages, computer technology and systems have become more and more a part of our lives.
Currently, there are numerous programming languages out there. Some of them were built for special purposes while others are general and can be interchanged depending on preferences and the nature of the task.
For the World Wide Web, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript reign supreme. For statistics, R, Python, and SAS are the default languages. AutoCAD languages help engineers as they design with CAD software, while C++, Java, and others are multipurpose programs that can be used just about anywhere.
