What is Coding?
Coding is at the heart of the technology we use every day. If you know how to code, you know how to build the technological present, as well as create the future.
Coding, Defined
When you code, you write instructions for computers and other hardware. The computer can then read your instructions and perform the given tasks. Coders are the ones guiding the computers in what to do and how.
Without coders, we wouldn’t have the apps we all use daily, the sites we visit, the platforms we rely on, the games we play, and the list goes on. Coders make a broad impact on how we live our lives.
Coding skills broaden your career opportunities.
Software engineers, data scientists, game developers, and many other tech professionals need to be sharp coders in order to create the technology we use every day – and to innovate as we move into the future.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS):
2x Growth
In the next ten years, the tech workforce will grow twice as fast as the overall U.S. workforce.
Millions of Workers
This will result in approximately 350,000 workers each year, adding up to several million through 2034.
