Coding Is for everyone | Shehzad Noor Taus | TEDxDhaka

You could solve your own problem better if you would have learned coding already! 'Software innovation' in your own discipline can bring faster and better changes.
Taus is a high school student, software developer and entrepreneur based in Dhaka. Starting to code at the age of 10 he soon became the youngest Zend Certified Engineer in the world of that time. He's been involved in founding a few tech startups so far. He is the Founder and President of ITTW Conferences and the National Olympiad in Software Innovation (NOSI) through which he promotes computer programming and entrepreneurship in IT amongst high school, college and university students. Beside that, he is also the co-founder and CEO of a tech startup called Incogmito, that focuses on anonymous social networking.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

You can teach everyone to code but you can't teach everyone to think

[@minhazulislam4682]

true. coding requires critical thinking, solving problems efficiently.

[@peachy7586]

What are you talking about? Mita noor killed herself even before he was a grown up man.

[@nahiyanalamgir7614]

@@peachy7586 It doesn't take more than 18 years to raise a child. When Mita Noor died, Taus was already raised up.

wonderful talk - it seeks to break down the barriers. just like with anything, learning takes application of time and effort, but necessity is truly the mother of invention!

Mark Zukerberg: Programmer Bill Gates: Programmer Elon Musk: Programmer Steve Woznik: Programmer Creators of KZbin, Google, Twitter, Uber, Snapchat, Instagram, Whatsapp....etc and the list goes on : all are Programmers there are millions of people who know how to program and code, but only a handful of them can create something useful with their skills so yes, programming can be for everybody, but it will always be the few who will innovate and bring new revolutionary application and software in the world

you have no idea how hard coding was for me , sure i could have learnt how to program better but it comes down to if your passionate about persuing it , an important talk nevertheless

[@JoseMorales-vv5fx]

where is a good place to learn java and c++ since I am want to get my major in software engineering. Right now I just started college doing my basics. and then in two years moving into a 4 year college.

You're already there. KZbin is excellent for learning programming.

[@zeldamaniac3188]

An interesting thought, but it leaves me with doubts. I still don't believe in "learn to code" cheerleader speeches. Becoming a successful programmer requires some combination of IQ, mindset, and more importantly focus/motivation/deep work skill that very few people have or are willing to develop. And out of all those people, what percentage of programmers are working on boring business software instead of something inspiring or innovative? Anyway, I don't think programming is for everyone. More people should try it, but it's sold as the greatest thing ever and I think it falls short of that description. Boring office jobs, long hours solving annoying problems. Disclaimer: I've never been a programmer because I'm not a focused, hardworking person; and there are people much smarter than me that have already designed software for 99% of the things I need. If I have a great idea, I'm likely to pay someone to do a better job than I can.

Everything about this guy is amazing except for his dorky mohawk.

[@HOWYOUDOIN884]

I am surprised how many people think "coding" covers everything. In actuality, it essentially just means the act of typing in "code" with a keyboard. It does NOT include a vast majority of other aspects of software development, such as design, engineering, testing, database communication. etc. And how many people think they are "teaching themselves" when actually they are learning from authors, videos, etc. It's not like they are sitting in an IDE and just figured every thing out (because they are sooo brilliant). So whenever I hear someone saying they taught themselves to code, I immediately think they are not highly skilled.

[@hasnat9545]

That's my point

[@Saperek-is6di]

Meyby bcs code is so fkn hard and basic are boring asF

[@pawelsokolowski]

If you think coding is simple, keep doing contacts databases for your dad. And keep establishing more and more institutions and clubs. Because you know very little about professional programming, so stay out of real projects, and be motivation speaker instead. Writing software by googling, hilarious.
