3. Programming gives you lessons in problem-solving

“Everyone in this country should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you to think.” — Steve Jobs

We all have problems. Big and small. How we solve these problems is sometimes asking the right questions first.

When you solve problems you do the following:

1. Think of  viable solution or solutions.
2. Trial and error, practice and have patience
3. If that doesn’t work, repeat

Demonstrating computational thinking or the ability to break down large, complex problems is just as valuable (if not more so) than the baseline technical skills required for a job.” — Hacker Rank (2018 Developer Skills Report)

4. Programming can give you confidence

All in all most IT topics can be daunting and maybe confusing at times. But once you exposed to certain frameworks, and understand for example one programming language, other languages and tools might become easier.  In turn you will build confidence in coding.

Furthermore as a programmer, you learn how to make things work, for example you figure out how to solve problems: your website doesn’t display the content (html) how you intended it to. Thus you determine automatically it a css problem. Hence you make the necessary changes via your css file.

5. Programming can give you transferable skills

One of the biggest advantages of learning programming, is that it teaches you a transferable skill set that is useable in nearly any tech field. The coding space gives you the skills to figure out problems and find solutions. In turn you not always locked into one programming language or framework. Thus pogramming covers a wide range of applications, databases, web apps, and frameworks.
 

6. Use coding to change the world?

 
Programming can open alot of doors in 2020 and till the end of time. Machine learning, big data and technology is here to stay. In a space of a few years, we went from ordering a cab by standing on a road, to ordering a uber from anywhere you want! All in all Programmers made these applications.  Blockbuster use to be the biggest name in movies, now we have netflix where we can watch movies, without leaving our homes. Take alook at coders who changed the world forever.
