Learn More About Live Online Coding Training
A coder is a person who writes computer software programs. They learn programming languages and then code in that language to give instructions to a computer. When you track your steps, send a text, take a photo, make a post, play a game, or phone a friend on your smartphone: that all happens because of code. As more of our personal lives and our businesses run on technology, the more we need coders to create that technology and tell it what to do.
Coding is the career of the future. It’s also the career of the present as it’s already currently one of the most in-demand job skills in the United States. 83% of companies reported in 2020 that they couldn’t find enough coders. Studying coding is a great career path both now and in the future.
Learning to code in one or more programming languages is the backbone of being a coder. Programming languages use a particular syntax to create programs that perform specialized tasks. Just like you read written instructions in English, computers read written instructions in code. According to Wikipedia, there are around 700 programming languages. Some of the most popular include Python, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, R, C, and C#. Some languages are easier to learn than others. For example, Python was designed with readability in mind and is an excellent programming language for beginners to coding. Typically, the more difficult it is to learn a language, the greater job demand there is for it. Training in more difficult-to-learn languages also leads to a high average salary. Although, it should be noted that most coders make an above-average salary.
Why High Schoolers Should Learn Coding
Students who begin their coding journey in high school have a bright future. Jobs in coding are expected to rise over 20% by 2028. Coding is a skill that is in demand across all industries, so you could also study finance or design alongside coding and become a programmer in one of those industries.
Some of the significant ways in which coding is used are software development, web development, app and mobile development, data science, and fintech. Software developers create the software applications you use on your computers, such as internet browsers, word processors, music players, and games. Web developers code in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create websites. Web developers can choose to focus on the front end (what you see), the back end (how it runs), or the full stack (both front end and back end).
App and mobile development is an exploding 99 billion dollar industry with many job opportunities, especially in Android. Android runs on 75% of the world’s smartphones, making it the most popular operating system for smartphones and a fast-growing job field. Coders who want to work in Android app development will need to learn Java.
If you’re considering data science, Python is the preferred language of data scientists because its readability is practical when searching through large amounts of data. Fintech includes banking apps, blockchain technology like Bitcoin, trading apps, money transfer apps, and online payment processing. Java and Python are the most commonly used programming languages for financial analysis.
You’ll get a head start on any of these careers by starting your training while you’re still in high school. Training in coding can help prepare you for the AP Computer Science Exam or impress the admissions committee at a computer science college. Since coding is a practical skill, you won’t have to wait to get a degree to start working. You can use your coding knowledge to work part-time while in college or snag an internship at your dream tech company.
