September teenagers talk about how he got in the encoding and his thoughts on the future

Ossai Priscilla, 18

Where are you studying?

I'm at school in London's Chinatown.

How did you

in coding?

My uncle is a systems analyst, and works worldwide. I was always interested in what he did. I remember one day I walked into the room, I was about 14 years, and all I saw was of letters and numbers on your computer screen and I was like, "What -what is it? Not even make sense! "It made me really interested and gradually began to teach me how. It was incredible.

What attracted you to

Technology changes so fast, you really have to pay and you need to learn more. I think that's what really caught my attention. Also, see my uncle by clicking on it did for me and my mother encouraged me by saying: "This is going further."

What is the attitude

coding school?

As soon as I reached the sixth grade, my computer classes helped me to understand. First, I learned CSS, HTML codes, how to make websites, things like that. Before I was learning, but I did not really understand what he did.

Do you think they should be taught in schools

Yes, because coding makes everything much faster - you can go directly to the you have to do and save time. I think everyone needs to know the encoding. At least one bit. If they did push harder in school, kids these days do not necessarily follow the path of proxy or the way of architecture or engineering of the road, I think many people would go to the computer instead.

Where do you see in the future?

I like working for Apple. If this is not Apple, then surely Microsoft. One of the two. I want to be a systems analyst as my uncle, but I think that's all I know - maybe if I had seen other ways of computing that I change my mind. Gemma

What is your background?

born in Preston, Lancashire and went to school Kingsfold. I always go at the weekend.

How did you

in coding?

When I was six, we got our first computer and I loved it. My parents bought me my own some years later. I started reading a lot about the program online and I loved learning how to build useful things that I find myself.

coding case be part of the curriculum?

permanently. I went to a very small school, and our computer teacher really encouraged me and others. It allowed us to build things for school, for example, the intranet, which was very helpful. Children should learn to code, because you learn the skills of problem solving, and it is very valuable.

What are you doing now?

I work for the Prime Minister, for Digital Government Service (GDS). We are the team to build the small government platform new field, and we intend to replace the online services in the coming years. I lived in London, staying in hotels during the week for five months. It's fun at first but the novelty wears off.

you ever hacked?

I, in the right direction. In the days people hack meet and resolve the challenges ahead from government data or whatever. While brainstorming for some projects, build a prototype and show it to the press at the end of the weekend. It's fun.

What music / blogs and magazines that you like?

I like indie rock. I love Blog Daring Fireball John Gruber and a technology news site called the Verge.

How do you see the future of coding?

It is much my dream job. I do not know where I want, but there is great potential in the GDS.

background

I grew up in London. I'm still at school in London.

How did you

in coding?

all started last August, in fact, Rewired State event. This was the first time I wrote one line of code. It was a little intimidating, but I joined someone named Josh and set up our first project, a little thing called Snackonomics, which translates into economic concepts such as debt on the things you understand, Jammie Dodgers and the like Starbucks coffee.

Since then, I learned everything I can. I went up to the student organization of Microsoft, which is a cool little thing. They give us support and in return, to write simple things for them. And in January, I started my lunch club at school, teaching younger students how to use code.

Want to make a career out of it?

I've always loved technology and it was interesting to go from being a consumer to do things. However, I will probably end up getting a degree in Classics.

What is the attitude coding school?

was awkward until Michael Gove, has decided to dispose of ICT education and then suddenly everyone started saying, "Yes, we will begin programming." It used to be very dated. My course was a 60-page Word document that explains how I made an Excel document and how it worked and it was painfully difficult. Now the school is taking new forms of things, there including planning, to give an idea of ??what goes on behind the scenes.

You think it's important to learn the discipline of coding?

not know much about the economy, but for me the only sector that will last for a period of time is the technology sector. Everything else is in neutral and the oil will eventually run out, so I guess the only place you can really go is to explore technology.

How many languages ??has mastered?

have learned something, but I have exposure to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, a bit of Ruby and I started looking at C #, a little larger, which means that you can start to fix things.

background

Worthing and I'm studying computer engineering in my first year at the University of Sussex.

How did you in coding?

When I was younger I found computers fascinating. When I was 12 or 13 years, taught me how to build websites and write software. From the beginning, the attraction was problem solving, especially when there is a problem in real life. What was the attitude towards the encoding of your school? I think people realize how to date, the education system in this area. If allowed at school would not have done it all. When he is not bound by the throat at school, I think you can learn much faster.

Is the UK a good place to be for an encoder, or if you prefer to be in Silicon Valley?

know some people who came to Silicon Valley, but I think there are possibilities, as many here as there are out there, if not more. I think Silicon Valley is closed - you must know someone to get there. Does not appeal to me personally.
