Coding is very important when you think about the future, where everything is going. With more phones and tablets and computers being made, and more people having access to everything and information being shared.

Computer programmers are in great demand by American businesses, across the tech sector, banking, entertainment, you name it. These are some of the highest paying Jobs, but there are not enough graduates to fill these opportunities

Our policy at Facebook is literally to hire as many talented engineers as we can find. There just aren't enough people who are trained and have these skills today.

Computers have and will continue to change our world, and programmers will continue to be essential, but I know first by studying FORTRAN, that many of us get intimidated by it and we shouldn't be.
