Show Notes
#211: With the advent of video games like Minecraft and Roblox, kids are starting to learn to code at much younger ages than before. The question is are these kids going to be ready to become the computer programmers for the next generation?
In this episode, we speak with Jim Douglas, CEO at Armory, about the reality of what programming will look like in the future and what skills we need to be learning now if we don’t want to be displaced by middle school students.
