Where You Can Learn Programming And Web Design For Free Online

In the UK and US, some people are pushing to make it compulsory that every child while in school should be taught how to program just as they are being compulsorily taught English and Mathematics. You might think it's extreme but there is a valid reason to it.

Everything is increasingly having a computer in it. It's not just the phones, computers and tablets that use programs and applications. Wristwatches, fridges, TV, cameras, drones, air conditioners, electric cookers and almost all home appliances are beginning to run applications. Increasingly, people who have the ability to program will never run out of opportunities to build something great and very useful. They will always see new opportunities to turn their ideas into gold and perhaps change the world forever like the Google guys and the Facebook guy did.

If there is one thing you can learn that is sure to be of unimaginable benefit it is learning to program, especially web programming. The beginning is often slow and like an uphill task but once you get a hang of it you'll be set for life and doing things that can grow big and change the world.
