Programming is the future
<html>
<p>I often get the question of my siblings „<em>Why don't you become a nurse? An educator? A teacher? Or a bank clerk? Something normal to earn money with…</em>“</p>
<p>&nbsp;https://picload.org/image/rdlgiiag/223022097_3025934704043797775.jpg</p>
<p><br>
The answer is so simple.&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>The world is changing fast</strong></em>. A few years ago it was normal here in Germany to get a pension after you worked hard your whole life. Thats why people went to work because of the safety when they get older. But it is not like that anymore. The workers receiving lower pensions than they are entitled to. The state retirements do not provide the primary care any longer… So obviously it is out of question for me to exercise a „<em>normal</em>“ profession.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br>
Coding is not a fashion trend which is outdated in a few months.<em> It is the future!&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>It doesn't matter wether a homepage, apps, bots etc. So many things are possible in the new life of internet. No wonder that<strong> eight</strong> of the <strong>top 25 jobs </strong>this year are tech positions. A software engineer could just as easily find themselves working at apple as they could at an automotive manufacturer or in a hospital.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I just read in an article that <strong>over 7 million job openings </strong>in 2015 were in occupations that required coding skills. The programming jobs overall are growing <strong>12% faster than the market average</strong>. And these were the statistics of 2015!!!</p>

<p><br>
</p>
<blockquote><em>&nbsp;If you put in the hours and effort, you can master new skills and take control of your future!&nbsp;</em></blockquote>
<p><br></p>
<p>When I tell people that I started coding with HTML and CSS and it took me just a few months, they are freaking out.<em> Where ? How ? Didn't you study ? Do you have a computer science degree?&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>Luckily my mentor guided me to the right path as I told you in my <a href="https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@soldier/how-becoming-a-woman-has-changed-me-180-degrees">very first post </a>here on Steemit and showed me some great websites to get to know more about coding. There are a lot of online services on the market which offer online classes to learn any programming language you want to. You dont need any tech degree to understand what the teachers are talking about. It is unnecessary&nbsp;to study IT for many years. I am convinced that dedication is the key to success! With the right portfolio of skills and experience, you dont need a Computer Science degree to launch a promising career. You can go from beginner to job-ready in 3-12 months!It is not that difficult as you may think. Just stick to it and keep practicing. Anyone can be a developer and is able to learn to build amazing things!</p>
<p>https://picload.org/image/rdlrowwi/200.gif</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<h3>Which language do I recommend for beginners?</h3>
<p>It is such a matter. Every language has its pros and contras. You can use any language for different topics. For example -&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Swift/Java</strong> &nbsp;for creating Apps</p>
<p><strong>HTML /CSS/JavaScript</strong> &nbsp;for creating homepages</p>
<p><strong>C#</strong> &nbsp;for writing windows destop applications</p>
<p><strong>JavaScript/C#/C++</strong> &nbsp;for making 2D/3D games</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>There are hundreds of various programming languages. These were just some examples to see what you are able to build!</p>
<p><br>
I did a little research and was a bit surprised. I had a look at the skills that tech employers are asking for. Java was most asked in 2016 than all other languages. With <strong>over 2900 mentions</strong> per million listings is Java way more in demand than C# which comes after Java with <strong>under 750 mentions</strong> per million listings. Java remains incredibly popular in the enterprise and job seekers can´t go wrong learning it. But my personal opinion is to<em> take advantage of each languages special strengths</em> as well!</p>

<p><em><strong>Tip by Soldier - </strong></em><em>This is more for the parents here on Steemit! </em>I just found an online service which offers coding for <strong>kids</strong>! How amazing is this?They can create <em>apps, explore stem, build games, control robots, flying a drone and a lot more</em>. When your child is a fan of computers, technology and apps this is a great way to teach him/her important skills in a fun way!&nbsp;</p>

  <li>Privacy will become products</li>

<p>All this wouldn´t be possible without programmers! Internet is the future and so programming will be...</p>

@ben.karlin · 
Creativity, unfortunately, is little paid for unless combined with extra skills.
Lots of people I know do some web-projects (HTML/CSS/PHP/XML/XSTL) along with the usual graphic design skills. 
The market goes by offer and demand and most of them somehow earn a little on the side. 

Java is a different story and some few actually manage to teach it to themselves to the point of using it as a pro. I admire them.

Meanwhile, many jobs in the IT-industry will be replaced, too. 
Scale effects take their tolls. And some of it will strike in the programming sector as well.

From what I have observed in working in IT-projects and with IT-people a lot for more than a decade, there is a tendency to prefer double qualifications.
If you know a particular trade with all its catches AND you know how to make machines do exactly what is needed, you are in and well-paid.

The mere nerd, who may be a genius at coding, is often pretty helpless when failing to understand his customers' need. Ok, takes a bit of training and can be overcome.
What dual experts do is to specify the project according to the needs, explain it to the nerds - and most of all foresee the pitfalls. 
These jobs last as long as the industry related to it does.

Excellent post.
you said 
__Machines might take over your jobs__
and that's exactly right.  Not too long from now EVERY  thing that does not require original thought, innovation, and/or creativity will be done by machines.

Question: how do you avoid the _scams_ when you try to learn programming on line?

ah...you have money.
That's nice.  I remember back in the day, before Obama.
I had money too.
hmmm.
Do I detect an opportunity here?
Someone who knows how to program 
writing programing tutorials on Steemit ?

@lisadang · 
What an awesome post. I truly believe in your words that there is no need for a degree (constantly learning under pressure) to being successful. It is only about the time and the passion you invest in something... Right now I'm getting into the coding stuff through my brother, who taught himself  (Back then I thought it is impossible learning it, because of its complexity)

Me either! As you may know @sirwinchester and two of my Brothers are programmers, I could watch their work for a couple of years. It seemed impossible to me to learn anything about it! But things had changed and now I am really into it! Great you started as well!!! Thank you for your comment pretty Lady ;)

@thebatchman · 
I really like this post because you make some really good points. Especially because it kind of contrasts with your dancing. Where your dancing is so dynamic and emotional, coding in its self is static and machine controlled.

What @everittdmickey said is quite interesting, because I do work that exactly falls into the category that requires creativity with machine output. I do 3d visual effects and it is a beautiful mix of creativity and machine. I love it. Especially with the future of films where more and more 3d is being used I think this industry will stand the test of time.

Looks like we all should take heed to your instruction and start learning coding asap to stay ahead of the machine of job occupations. Great post and dedication is by far a skilled attribute in itself because it can take you far places if fueled by determination, passion and a set of life goals for your future. I wish you nothing but the best of success and look forward to your advanced coding skills in the future. Maybe you will found a tech coding school that also has a dance studio connected to it. The best of both of your worlds. Thank you for sharing. Upvoted
