In June 2016, Fast Company published an article explaining ‘Why coding is still the most important job skill of the future’. The research firm Burning Glass found that jobs requiring coding skills pay, on average, $22,000 more, and that half of all jobs with salaries over $58,000 require some coding skills. Moreover, half of all programming opportunities were in industries outside of technology, including finance, manufacturing and healthcare. The acquiring of the kinds of specialist skills that could boost salaries and advance careers used to involve at least a degree, if not years of study as part of a PhD or MBA. But today the proliferation of online courses and coding bootcamps has made the acquisition of coding skills highly feasible for anyone with a computer and internet connection. As computers become smarter, and able to drive cars, write news stories and balance businesses’ books single-handedly, there will be an ever greater need for people that know how to write the code that commands the machines. Learning to code also has the extra benefit of not only making a candidate more employable, but also giving them the freedom of starting their own business or creating a side income from making websites and apps. In this book we will look in detail at both the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of learning to code: after looking at the benefits that programming knowledge brings, we will dive right in learning HTML, the language of all websites. We will then look at a range of other programming languages, and even see how to build native apps for iPhones and Android devices. Finally, we will apply the skills in step-by-step guides to entrepreneurship, building your own websites and apps, increasing your everyday efficiency and even seeing how you might become a full-time software developer. Even if you have no plans to change careers, we will see how you can use coding skills to make yourself and your colleagues more efficient, creating shortcuts to complete tasks faster, provide quicker feedback and serve your customers and clients better. My hope for you in reading this book is that you will become fully digitally literate. Some readers may go on to create businesses, some may build apps to help them in their current job, and some might communicate more effectively with the IT guys at the office. But all will have a greater understanding of how coding underpins every interaction we have with our computers, our phones and our smart devices. The lines of code that you write will enable you to better harness the technology that you use every day.
