EVERYONE CAN CODE: PROGRAMMING FOR THE FUTURE
English is one of the world’s most widely used languages - but code is even more so. That’s the verdict of Apple CEO Tim Cook, who recently told French news outlet Konbini: “If I were a French student and I were 10 years old, I think it would be more important for me to learn coding than English”. He described coding as “a language that you can [use to] express yourself to 7 billion people in the world” - and Apple is doing much to further coding knowledge worldwide.
A SWIFT EXPANSION FOR A PROMISING CURRICULUM
In 2014, Apple launched the programming language Swift, which is intended to encourage students across a broad age spectrum to pick up coding., whereby this language is formally taught by various colleges and universities around the world. A key part of the scheme is the App Development with Swift Curriculum - an Apple-designed, year-long course intended to teach students coding.
