Nice post @soldier !!
There are so many resources on the internet now to learn how to code! It's amazing and anyone can do it, if they put in the  time.

This past year I have been learning C++
Coding makes my mind work very creatively! :)

And everything will be on the blockchain! ;)

Programming is a current and futuristic skills and this skills is a lifetime asset of everyone. If you know programming, the new technologies blessed new.

Quick feedback, there are a couple of paragraphs duplicated in your post.

Besides that, I agree wholeheartedly. I've been programming for nearly 15 years (wow that makes me sound old) and know that I have excellent job security. I've worked remotely for the last 6 years, you can't really say that about many higher salary jobs. 

Before I started programming I had a pretty big mental block, but I applied myself and became proficient quickly. I really believe anyone else can do the same!

@soldier You have published the same 2 paragraphs twice. At least when i loaded the page :)

Maybe coding is not only the future, but the past as well. (simulation theory)

NodeJS is super popular at the moment. It opened the door of whole new work to JS lovers. Python is definitely promising, but I heard a lots of python developer are moving to Golang.

Great post! I noticed you wrote the same paragraphs twice at the beginning and same with the tip towards the bottom lol. I think they were just copied twice on accident. Either way, this is great advice! Coding is such a great avenue to go down, especially for kids. The internet, apps, technology, and everything revolves around coding. It's the "industrial" era of today. That's awesome that you got to learn it and are able to spread to message to everyone around you. Thanks for sharing and making Steemit a better place :)

wow, programming is very difficult to understand so i quit trying to learn how to do it,  good post, followed

It is true things have changed. Kids should learn to program.

I like your article. And one of the most important thing which we should keep in mind is: If we can talk each other even if we came from different countries by using English as common language (even if some of us are still made mistakes when we use it, included me). We should see programming as a language that allow us to talk with technology/ computers . This 'language' will give us possibility to create technology not only to use it. More details in my article.

I'm a software developer and I approve this post. ;)

I often get the question of my siblings „Why don't you become a nurse? An educator? A teacher? Or a bank clerk? Something normal to earn money with…“ @soldier
-Yes, this is exactly the kind of thinking that is slowly dying out. We have to begin to look at how the world is changing and how are we going to adapt to it, not only to survive but to thrive. I can not speak to much as I am in Nursing School, (healthcare is what I was born to do) but I have a strong drive and desire to also learn and develop my technical abilites, as I know they will be an invaluable skill in the future.  Also, I have heard of schools that are going to be implementing simple programming courses to kids. I want to say middle school to high school age. Its so exciting to see where the future will bring us!

Programming is everywhere these days. In the job market now recruiting for high skilled programmers is one of the leading boards. At some point it's almost as a hype, since in school currently they start learning programming with Scratch. Of course it's hot since nowadays everything is digital. And NOT just the Web. Electronics use it,..robotics.
Though I think web design is a thing in the past (way too many free services online that out-stand the regular designer) and the good job ads now require  higher skilled professionals.
I, personally think it will shift within 20 years, we are going to have way more programmers and lack professionals in other fields.

wow, programming & coding is very hard to do. uderstanding is not problem. but it i to redo same thing... in the past i learn that.but it is not suited to me.
thank you for sharing

This is a great post. I agree 100% that programming is the future. Even in a world where technology is taking over the jobs of people, we will still need people (at least in the short-term) to be able to program these machines! 

And staying in front of the learning curve is the best way to keep yourself from becoming obsolete :)

Sounds great and I would recommend people not to learn coding if they are just looking for jobs. In my country, companies require degree, doesn't matter if you know nothing. I myself is keen to learn coding to build an empire on my laptop.

nice 1 @soldier
thanks for your effort to provide us a good content

Hi, introduce me is a lecturer at one of the universities in Indonesia. Java is a significant developing programming. I am very interested in learning Java because my students are much enthusiastic about creating a program with Java. They say java is good programming and developing nowadays. With Java also support for smartphone development on Android platform.

I don't know how to code. 

But see, the thing is, I agree with you. 

Remember how not everyone used to be able to read and write? It's because they didn't need to. 

Now, theres no way you could get by in modern society without knowing how to read and write. 

I think coding might end up being the "reading and writing" of the future. 

Our whole lives are becoming dictated by computers, and thats only going to continue to increase as technology becomes more and more technologically advanced.

Like I said, I don't know how to code.. but it's certainly something I'd like to (and think I should) learn. 

@Soldier, do you have a discord?

Despite coding on different languages, Java is still my first and true love... 😊

That's awesome! I see the value in learning coding. My job requires me to know basic HTML to code emails and make edits on websites. I want to learn more, because I also believe it is the future!

Wonderful post im trying to learn more programming myself right now teaching myself some things. Gotta apply the resources you have at hand, and stay focused!
upvoted, resteemed, followed ;D

Coding is definitely the way to go when thinking of the future, great share. I am going to take you up on that suggestion and start practicing! Like you said, I never know when an opportunity may arrive when I could use it. Maybe you didn't say that, but implied it :)

I want to learn it but I heard is not easy. I will go for it anyway.

It's strange or WOW But,My Mind driven by same philosophy about the choosing programming career, though I like programming bcoz I like to build things,A New things.

I read in comments that they don't understand programming,it is just an EXCUSE,I'm also not good at maths rather call it i mugged maths, But You know I'm keen believer in HARD WORK ALWAYS PAYS OFF.I'm driven by just one single thought when i'm learning programming,"DO WORK YOUR ASS OFF,NEVER GIVE UP".

For You Guys Who want to learn programming,I will post an article of programming resources where you can learn programming with great enthusiasm.

You're a pretty amazing human being. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Well, I love python 
I have tried c, and also did some hands-on on front end html and css, but backend I love the most.
Still, I am a biology student by profession, but coding is life :)

Wow! Great thought! I also went to a coding boot camp in SF to learn how to make things last year. It did change my way to see things. I agree with you on the world is changing fast. Now you can easily learn new tech on youtube / from Google. I think Javascript will keep growing since it has a big community around it and what is more now you can make IOS native app with JS. Really like reading your posts. No many girls like coding, dancing and look gorgeous at the same time :P

So do you guys think java is better than c# ?

Definitely gonna find a good coding course for kids. It should be a part of basic early childhood education.
