I just bought your book in Chinese version for my kid half an hour ago, and search "how to let kids learn programming" in youtube, then I come here, it is so amazing.
for anyone reading this, it does not matter if its 2018 or 2040 you can learn how to code, it just take dedication like anything else in this world. And do NOT believe the myth of "You need to be a math genius to code" is NOT true, you rarely need it. you see it a lot in fundamentals because is the best way to teach those fundamentals and understand how things work. good luck to anyone and btw the coding community is one of the friendliest ones i seen, just ask if you are having troubles or are stuck learning. :)
I thought he was meaning learning the code as in the unspoken code that me an 80s baby learned without actually being taught. It was basically common sense. Sadly we are the last of a dying breed. We have to physically and verbally teach this generation. It’s never too late!!! Our younger generation need to learn this so they stop reacting instantly to situations without even thinking about the consequences or feelings or the hurt it causes.
Many people are saying it, including myself. But if you really want to make a change, make it a mandatory subject at school. From when you start going till when you leave.
Fundamental mistake the presenter makes: coding is not the same as technology literacy. You can be technologically literate without knowing how to code. Conflating both will only cause more problems than it solves. As a fellow computer science teacher, this is one of the worst things you can do to students apart from claiming they could make the next Uber or Facebook. Most computing jobs are rather mundane.
also not everyone needs to know how to code just like how not everyone needs to know how to do any other of the essential but specialized tasks we have in society. this is definitely not for everyone and expecting everyone to do it is just going to cram a lot of people into boxes they're not supposed to be in, in the first place coding is great though, i love it
@@fieldsy6642 as I'm trying to teach the "how" to students who are already fully immersed in the "why"... I still found this to be a misleading and therefore uninspiring watch.
@@fieldsy6642 perhaps a better comment would have been to simply accuse the publisher of producing "clickbait". Labeling this content as such surely applies to such a misleading title.
I used to be code literate, because coding used to be logical. I can still code in several languages, you don't really forget. But the reason I feel illiterate is that new libraries and APIs keep spawning new syntaxes and paradigms that distract me and keep me from building on what I already know, yet are required to get or keep a job. Coders are asked to know more and more to do less and less. For example, the boss wants to use Restful APIs with Angular.js and Node.js, instead of just JavaScript, which underlies it all and follows the relatively simple and logical conventions based on the C language. But these APIs built on top of JavaScript EACH follow their own conventions. If you want literacy, keep it simple. You learn to read and write once, then you pick up some tricks and some big words after that. You don't create a new language with different conventions every few months and compete to force the most coders to adopt it. The business community is shooting itself in the foot by facilitating the chaos of this proliferating Tower of Babel (aka Babble).
if you're an experienced programmer then picking up new technologies shouldn't be an issue. it gives you an edge over new developers unless you let yourself stagnate.
I'm quite experienced thanks. I'm talking about efficiency, productivity, and, honestly, keeping the cost of IT down - and allowing us a life outside the machine!
This video didn't age well, unfortunately, just 5 years after this talk, generative languages models can code. When my 4 year old daughter gets to working age, these models will be able to code all our modern life. Not sure there will be any available IT jobs by then.
That one million unqualified positions is BS. A majority of those require experience not just literacy. The entry level market is so competitive and saturated compared to the experienced market
It's not that hard. Go to Google and search for "list of programming languages" then search for some interesting languages. For beginner I can recommend Python. Then visit YT and search for courses (try RealPython) or go to Udemy or some other online course pages. Give it a try and maby reply and tell me of your experience. If you need help, I get you covered.
This is so sound indeed, Prof can i please have your email address? I am a Chemical Eng from South Africa with interest in Computational studies and technology education.

Totally agree with everything he said but please, do something about the title. It should be at least "Why We Need To Teach Kids & Ourselves To Code."
That's exactly what I thought.
Exactly
Exactly
Yes!
Agree..
i spent 8 mins looking for how to teach kids to code before realizing the talk is not about that.
did you find a good link about your search, I am also looking for good and easy links for my 7-year-old, to teach coding.

Save you some time, he’s not talking about how to teach kids how to code, he’s talking about why it’s important.
Now I am 15 but I am coding since age 10 and coding is a very interesting part of a computer
this is what i always say to friends and family but these words are much more clear of how i could explain it

Thank you so much man I've inspired and started to learn coding 6/2/2021
How's it going?
Yeah seriously how's it going?
How is it going?
That's a good reason to go into the industry
Wow 🥺 such a nice inspirational....I have fall for coding now, thank you for opening my eyes now.
My school has mandatory 2 years of html and 1 year of just learning how a code is made by using MIT'S Scratch program
Adam Simard two whole years just for html???
go to school for computer science
Meh to
Damn they're gonna be real good at finding those crocodile brackets on the keyboard
Yes please.. I want to learn coding
Very interesting and inspiring. However, the lecture does no justice to the title.
Totally in agreement!!!
now i know how amazing my teacher is. lol learn from bryson payne on python and stuff. I do. He's god
not so much the how, but rather the why, but still appreciated
Many people are saying it, including myself. But if you really want to make a change, make it a mandatory subject at school. From when you start going till when you leave.
Awesome! Really powerful speech!
My first computer was a commodore 64 also :)

coding is great though, i love it
Nice one prof.
Well now i know what imma be doing with my life
How it’s going
This is why not how. As an educator searching for inspiration, this was disappointing content.
Eclectic Collected isn’t inspiration strengthened through “the why”?

Thanks for the feedback. Great idea to change the title to WHY not HOW. We'll send a request to TED.
Have you tried ubbu? 😊

The key concept here is Programming and not coding.
I wish i wouldve gone to school for computer Programming as oppose to graphic design something i could've on learned on RUclips for free
Thank you very much for this speech.
Great video, very helpful, thanks!
I like the idea but the title should be "why should everyone learn coding"
This was a fantastic talk, thank you
I’m a kid and want to learn how to code . Literally from the beginning. Any ideas on where I should go to learn to code.
White Hat jr
ubbu
To teach kids code, you gotta give a WAY more interesting presentation than this.
Haha
I learn everything about his life and the importance of learning coding.. but I didn’t get the answer of (how to learn?)
he has a few udemy courses on udemy, u can buy them, they are very good! they teach u how to code
myniece is master of science ofcomputer seems there's still longlong way togo. so isthis a reachable goal for ordinary people.
Have you heard of ubbu? 😊
🤗👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 And It ..STILL !!! Apply's!...
Even MORE SO!...In...2021 And BEYOND!👍🏿👍🏿🤗✌️
myonly doubt is how longitwould take tolearn, a roadmap ineed help me make determination.
I want to learn programming but I dont know how to learn it.
I suggest start with python its very easy to learn my friend
Just want online tutorials
Like free code camp python for begginer..
u can buy his course on python on udemy he explains in it how to code
@@shanixzz2387 thanks I'm still trying
something tells me he is not talking about how.
the title is totally wrong.
When he said we could code I said “but I don’t want to code” my father is making me watch this🙄 come adopt me someone😑
:D
your dad should not force you to learn something you dont love
take this from a coder
Proloy Codes :)
Where are the kids in all this??
What if...
Print("inside giggle")
Nice talk but title is totally wrong.
Misleading title, but really good talk.
The title does not match what the video is about
should be called 'why..' not 'how..'
the title don't describe the video
there was a video that called ethical hacking was helpful if possible you can re add to your channel
More why then how. Good video, misleading title
coding is not goal
Anyone know the drone model used in the video?
This video didn't age well, unfortunately, just 5 years after this talk, generative languages models can code. When my 4 year old daughter gets to working age, these models will be able to code all our modern life. Not sure there will be any available IT jobs by then.

Violent
The title is terribly misleading. It is WHY teach coding. Not HOW. Completely different. Downvoted.
its 2024
idk why but he talks like Mark Zuckerberg
The title is totally misleading and thus pretty much useless. I needed a "How" not a "Why"!
Overpromising video: the reason why only 3 percent knows code is because it requires high intelligence
After 15 minutes, he didn't say a single word about how to learn and where to funs resources. Useless.
Do it for yourself
But HOW
It's not that hard. Go to Google and search for "list of programming languages" then search for some interesting languages. For beginner I can recommend Python. Then visit YT and search for courses (try RealPython) or go to Udemy or some other online course pages. Give it a try and maby reply and tell me of your experience. If you need help, I get you covered.
Have you tried ubbu? It’s a very good resource
Disappointing talk for those who came here to know "how to teach kids to code". Good talk if it were titled "why to teach kids to code".
This is so sound indeed, Prof can i please have your email address? I am a Chemical Eng from South Africa with interest in Computational studies and technology education.
This video is mis-titled, it should be called WHY to teach kids to code, there is nothing in here that teaches HOW to code, very frustrating!!!
Waste of time.
Solid content but sheesh this guy talks slow
What a waste of time
ok boomer
