Programming Courses in America

Like many 10-year-olds, Nick Wolde (Nick Wald) will also extension outside the classroom. But the tutor who gave him his last lesson in a week taught him not to play piano scales and Spanish verbs, but to teach him how to write code. Nick, a five-year student in New York, had no experience at first, and he learned to write code that was enough to build a simple Web site for HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. He is currently developing an app called "Clockie" in Apple's Xcode environment that can be used to set alarms and reminders. He also plans to offer the app at the iOS App Store for free. "I've always liked to get apps from app stores, and I've been trying to figure out how they work and how I can develop them," he said. "The ability to program or use programming languages to build websites and develop applications is becoming increasingly popular, and technology is no longer just a requirement for IT professionals." Now, only seven-year-olds can learn scratch programming courses, while 20-somethings are crammed with programs that promise to make them the tech industry's most sought-after talent. Companies such as American Express (Anglo Express) also send executives to training programs in data and computer design, not so that they can build websites, but rather allow them to better manage the people who work in them. Adam Enbar, founder of Flatiron Training School in New York, said: "I think programming is like reading and writing and basic cultural literacy." Adam Embar Not everyone needs to be Shakespeare, just as not everyone needs to be a great developer. But... We are entering into a world in which every work, even if it is not yet technologically, will be a technology in the future. "The Flatiron School offers a 12-week course that aims to train novices as developers and tuition at $12,000." Programming languages are different in popularity and difficulty, and even being a junior developer requires hundreds of hours of learning. However, when working with an IT team, it is often more important to understand what is "code" and to understand what is possible and what is not. The web-based courses launched by the Johns Hopkins University (Johns Hopkins University) Elite Student Learning Center (center for Talented Youth) cover a variety of topics ranging from writing to music theory. But Patricia Wallace Patricia Wallace, senior director of the center's network curriculum, said the Web development curriculum had been "a big hit". The subjects are students and middle school students. In 2009, 63 students enrolled in the introduction of Web design, one of the few programming courses offered at the time. The course has enrolled 762 students this year. Wallace said that the classCheng first taught "Web Design Primer," and then may soon be taught "intermediate scratch programming." The scale of such classes is growing, as there are few opportunities to learn programming in primary and secondary schools. Some parents want their children to learn to program early. Face-to-face programming courses for children are also springing up across the United States. Minneapolis's volunteer program CoderDojo Twin cities provides a whole day of free programming training. Since its inception in April, the project's 20 sessions have been packed with around 80 students each time. "We had to turn down some students every time we started," said Matt Gray, co-founder of the program, Matt Grey. "Children use Ruby to develop games, use Linux systems, and they learn the Python language to build things in the world of popular video games--one of the most popular courses for children," Minecraft. Another group, which had been launched in Rochester, Minnesota, and a Katie CoderDojo training camp for girls, also held its first training session in February. Job seeker training General Assembly for a start-up educational institution that provides programming and design courses, in the "Immersion Web development" class, which was recently opened, about 25 students, mostly boys, with a MacBook, each of whom were aged 20 years, Listening to lectures on how to add a check box to a page using JavaScript. Prior to this, each student completed a project using the Ruby programming language. One of the items is a website that shows hygiene scores for the surrounding restaurants. The 23-Year-old Alina Guzman (Alina Guzman) recently paid 11,500 dollars for tuition for a 12-week course. She graduated from Beruk College (Baruch Eton) last year and received a degree in digital marketing. "I've worked in a marketing organization before, and I've done something on a small electric dealer website, but I want to do something different, and I've always been interested in technology and websites," she said. She studied Ruby and JavaScript from nine o'clock in the morning to five o'clock in the afternoon from Monday to Friday. Two months after the end of the course, she was hired as a junior engineer at the New York start-up, superhuman, who developed a personal assistant application. General Assembly also offers courses in San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Boston, Hong Kong and Sydney. A spokeswoman for the company said 95% of its global students had found work within three months. Jake Schwartz, co-founder and chief executive of the company, Jack Schwarz that programming is important because it teaches a different way of thinking. "Programming teaches you logic, higher levels of math and learning concepts that make you smarter and useful in any way," he says. "Flatiron and GeneRAL Assembly The majority of students between the ages of 20 and 30, where Flatiron would receive 8% of the applicants. "The vast majority of our students realize in their lives that this is a very interesting profession and a lot of job opportunities," Schwartz said. "James Vanneman, a 27-year-old James Fanneman, is the first student of Flatiron. He turned out to be a professional poker player who had been programmed by himself through books and websites. He said: "I will get into trouble and things will get frustrating because I feel I need a place to help me across learning disabilities." "He found a job as a software engineer at ticket management company Concierge Live several weeks after graduating," he said. Enterprise managers training Even people who are not interested in being a developer may also hear at work that they should learn to program. Mr. Schwartz said American Express, GE (General Tepco Co.), Staples (Staples Inc.), Merck (Merck & Co.) and PepsiCo (PepsiCo) are their partners. The companies sent senior executives to a two-day training session to learn about topics like "Getting Started with big data" and "rapid prototyping" (also known as computer-aided design). Jill Hood, head of strategic planning at the Atlanta Marketing Company Summit Group, said the company had been sending staff to learn HTML 5 language and basic web development over the past three years. "People who have learned these skills become more able to work independently," says Hood. She added that programming training for employees saved the company the cost of hiring IT managers to manage customer accounts. The lynda.com of California Carpinteria (Carpinteria) sells online instructional videos ranging from Photoshop to JavaScript. Lynda Weinman, co-founder and executive chairman of the website, said Linda Winman's clients include Patagonia, Volkswagen Group and Penguin Bookstore (Volkswagen Penguin House). Chech Seiss Ceci Saez, the global director of corporate development at Patagonia, an outdoor equipment retailer, said the company would require staff to learn technical skills through lynda.com over the next six months. Half of Patagonia's 800 American employees have volunteered to study related courses through lynda.com. "In the past, technology was not something we had to study so often, but things changed," Seth said. A group of different people joined the company, and now it becomes necessary. "VIA:WSJ
