Why should we learn Coding????

WHY SHOULD WE


I started coding with HTML in 6th grade, I had no Idea what was it all about and why was I learning it but later I got answers. Many times my friends and juniors come to me with the same questions:

  1. Why should we learn coding?
  2. Is it right to learn coding at this age?
  3. We are not related to computer branch, so how is it important to us?
and so on....



We are continuously using mobile apps and computer software's i.e. we start our day with alarm which is a mobile app, when we wake up
first we open what's app or Instagram and many more which are nothing but apps. These apps, Software's, websites, etc. are created using computer languages like java, python, HTML, CSS, etc. This directly means that, to Start developing Software's, apps, etc. you should at least in the first place know the basics of some of the programming languages mentioned above. If you understand the logic of One Programming language then it is not a big to learn other languages. All languages are same, the only basic difference is syntax. You might be thinking why is it necessary for us to learn coding if there are software engineers to do so.

We all think of doing many things in our life but we end up trying very few of them, we have many plans in our mind but we never
execute them. The same is the case with coding! Many people want to learn coding, but they never give it a shot. Many people think that they are too young to learn coding and other think that they are too old to start coding. I personally believe that there is no age to start coding. If you have interest in coding you just start it right away, don't waste time in waiting for the perfect time. Many great programmers started at the very young age, also there are many examples of people who started late in the coding carrier and are on the top. 




It is a basic fact: you will know better about your field than the software engineer who is developing software for your field. Lets take an example-> In the mechanical field designing
and analysis software's are required. So we all know that a mechanical engineer with basic computer knowledge will develop a better design and analysis software, because more than computer guy a mechanical guy will know better where and why the stress and strain are acting and how it will affect the design. Same is true with people related to other fields. They will have a better understanding about
their field rather than software engineer and if the know little bit of coding they can do  a big favor. I have seen many people who didn't had any computer background but are now doing great in software industry. These facts are self explanatory that to become a good programmer you don't need to be from computer background, what you need is just  passion for coding.


If we look towards the future, everything will be automated, maximum
tasks will be accomplished with the helps of automated robots and Artificial Intelligence.In the digital future, computational thinking is just as critical as speaking another language. In fact, some US schools plan to count it as a foreign language. Jobs of tomorrow will be very different from today. Over 2 million jobs are set to be created by 2020 with the rise of AI, robots and other tech advancements. Learning Coding can help build the fundamentals for this future workplace.



 Let me know in the comments how was the article, suggestions are welcomed. If you want an article on any other related technical topic suggest it in the comment section. Stay Tuned for more updates!!!!!!!!

    1. Many people are having the same doubt. I will surely write my next article on "From where to Start coding". Thank you for your response.
