&http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; According to foreign media reports, the next killer application, where will it come from? Maybe a few girls in high school--Kila Becker (Kira Becker), Amily Moscochela (Emily moschella), Tala Abreshami (Tara abrishami) and Anna Vigny (Anna venetianer),  The four young girls under the age of 16 have become skilled programmers.


     Over the past 5 months, the four of them have collaborated to develop software Navi car. Since entering the Thomas Jefferson High School (Thomas Jefferson), they have found the commute to be long. This high school attracts many gifted students in Washington, D.C., with its unique charm. These girls are very rich in after-school life, like tennis, athletics and drama, but they gradually found that the desire to go to these places, it is a big challenge.      So, the four of them hit, decided to develop an Android application to solve their commuting problems. Since January, four good friends have spent weekends and afternoons using the free programming tools MIT App Inventor to build their own apps.      Development Application solving problems      Not everyone has enough programming skills to develop an application to solve their problems. But for a new generation of programmers, this is like a second instinct. "Technology is becoming more and more readily available," said      Neina. I firmly believe that in the future, people will personally develop applications to solve their own problems.      With the encouragement of a teacher, the girls took their apps and participated in a programming contest--technovation Challenge for high school girls. In the name of round of the applause team, they were shortlisted for the world's top ten. They also visited the San Francisco-based Twitter company in Thursday to participate in application selection.      Although this programming contest was created for young girls, it reveals serious sexism in computer science. But the girls said they never felt they were doing anything groundbreaking.      Female programmer: Unusual?      "Everyone in our community is happy to provide support." In Thomas Jefferson, there are many Jefferson girls like us who are obsessed with computer science and technology. "I think we've made a lot of people very impressed and proud of them, but no one thinks it's unusual," Abrishami said. "     as a sophomore in high school, these girls have not decided whether they will continue to pursue computer science careers in their future careers." But if someday in the teen generation, applyProgram development can be as popular as it is, so the future of the programming industry will be very bright.
