Check this video Starring Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, will.i.am, Chris Bosh, Jack Dorsey, Tony Hsieh, Drew Houston, Gabe Newell, Ruchi Sanghvi, Elena Silenok, Vanessa Hurst, and Hadi Partovi. Directed by Lesley Chilcott, executive producers Hadi and Ali Partovi.
It lets you learn about a new "superpower" that isn't being taught in in 90% of US schools.

Is coding fun to learn?
For some Coding isnt fun. From what I've heard Most people won't enjoy it, that's true.
Only a few individuals will enjoy programming. Random person dont enjoy math, they hate it. Programming is a hardcore version of math.
Still you can't know if you like it or not if you've never tried it. The world needs people who code. So this video does it's job. Some people actually like math.
So, should coding be taught in schools? What do you think?

Sanyam KhuranaI have seen the video before, and it's just awesome,
Actually in India, we don't focus on giving technical education much, and when it comes to coding, I agree, many are not interested in it, but the few who are, always think, I would have started it earlier,
Most of the people with a logical mind set just loves coding, it's actually interesting to find logic behind a question and execute it through your code.
Well, here is a video, which I enjoy, all CEans, see it, it's actually a Rap on coding
Here's the lyrics :- đ
The "Java Life" SPOKEN: In the cubicles representinâ for my JAVA homies⊠In by nine, out when the deadlines are met, check it. CHORUS: We code hard in these cubicles My styleâs nerd-chic, Iâm a programminâ freak We code hard in these cubicles Only two hours to your deadline? Donât sweat my technique. Sippinâ morning coffee with that JAVA swirl. Born to code; my first words were âHello Worldâ Since 95, been JAVA codinâ stayinâ proud Started on floppy disks, now we take it to the cloud. On my desktop, JAVAâs whatâs bobbinâ and weavinâ We got another winning app before I get to OddEven. Blazinâ code like a forest fire, climbinâ a tree Setting standards like I Triple EâŠ. Boot it on up, I use the force like Luke, Got so much love for my homeboy Duke. GNU Public Licensed, itâs open source, Stop by my desk when you need a crash course Written once and my script runs anywhere, Straight thugginâ, mean mugginâ in my Aeron chair. All the best lines of code, you know I wrote âem Iâll run you out of town on your dial-up modem. CHORUS: âCause⊠We code hard in these cubicles Me and my crew code hyphy hardcore We code hard in these cubicles Itâs been more than 10 years since Iâve seen the 404. Inheriting a project can make me go beeee-serk Ainât got four hours to transfer their Framework. The cleaners killed the lights, Man, that ainât nice, Gonna knock this program out, just like Kimbo Slice I program all night, just like a champ, Look alive under this IKEA lamp. I code HARDER in the midnight hour, E7 on the vending machine fuels my power. Ps3 to Smartphones, our code use never ends, JAVAâs there when I beat you in âWords with Friendsâ. My developing skills are so fresh please discuss, You better step your game up on that C++. We know better than to use Dot N-E-T, Even Dan Brown canât cod e as hard as me. You know JAVAâs gettinâ bigger, thatâs a promise not a threat, Let me code it on your brain WHISPERED: so youâll never forget. CHORUS: We code hard in these cubicles, itâs the core componentâŠof what we implement. We code hard in these cubicles, Straight to your JAVA Runtime Environment. We code hard in these cubicles, Keep the syntax light and the algorithm tight. We code hard in these cubicles, Gotta use JAVA if itâs gonna run right. We code hard in these cubicles JAVA keeps adapting, you know itâs built to last. We code hard in these cubicles, Robust and secure, so our swagâs on blast CODE HARD

zaveriI hated coding, and i still hate it.
whenever we had a coding exam (practicals), a very gruelsome procedure used to be followed, that is we could not turn on the systems, unless we had written the program on paper, and had it approved by the examiner.
On the other hand i feel, far more interesting stuff such as engineering graphics, machine drawing, should be taught in schools. -
Anoop KumarThe first line in above video is "Everybody in this country(may be implicating world) should learn how to program computer, because it teaches you how to think"-- This quote sucks.đ
Sachin Tendulkar should have learnt programming first before getting into 1st class matches, This would have make him better batsman.
How about I say "Everybody should learn fine art because it teaches how to make world more beautiful, Everybody should first get military training like Bear Grills because it teaches how to survive"
Every job in this world teaches you how deal with real world problems in its own way.
I guess schools meant to teach a students whatever school think every student should learn and get benefit in life, irrespective of student's choice. After schools a student gets interest in some subject choose for further studies.
A student should not be forced to learn a specific skill. Teaching computers basic is enough, On other side this could be debatable point when should a student choose what to do! -
suyash deshmukhI saw that video few days ago and downloaded it immediately..
Yes coding should be taught in schools. Its important that students get their basics right at the early age.
Now in the coming years, every person will need to code..
So like it or not we will have to accept it that everyone will have to code someday.
So why not start early??
Also coding changes the way person thinks.. That gives you a lot of power to tackle various different problems even in day to day life..
I love coding..I wish i would have introduced to it when i was in school..đ -

Really? Not unless you are developing project work on binomial theorem or Fourier transform. In industry, one would rather use a tested and proven library.AbraKaDabraProgramming is a hardcore version of math.
And for people who say they love coding, I'd really like to know how much part of the day do they spend coding?
