Do you take a class? If you are learning one of the languages I know, I will gladly help. When I was in school I literally helped everybody at my table with the work, so I'm used to it:P.
Yeah, we're making a website and I'm terrible.
I have never made a website actually, mostly because my programming classroom didn't have internet. What language you using?

well uhh I did coding in 7th grade and that's all I remember. I do remember loving it so much and advancing into the fields of javascript but then I stopped and I have no reason to start up again.
You never had a vision of making something cool with code? Maybe a website or video game?
I don't think it was the teacher running it's problem, more something they had to stop due to a lower budget A lot of funds got cut 'cos the NI government isn't great with money Have you seen the latest news Yeah, HTML is quite easy to learn from what I've seen. I learned a bit of it a few years ago. I think I've seen it, but I would need to examine it
Who would stop spending money on teaching kids programming? It is LITERALLY the most needed skill you can learn in school these days. Much more important than those foreign languages they make you learn:S.
Try telling that to my school. They offer 4 different languages, 2 more than most of the other schools nearby
One mod to rule them all and in the darkness ban them - Lord of the Mods "I am the Mod Reborn!" - masterlegobuilders I'm the real boss

I argue otherwise. Teach everyone to program and nobody will need to hire programmers. There will be too many. We see this already in universities who are now prioritizing literature and history instead of their over-saturated STEM fields. Teach everyone to speak two or more languages and the world comes closer together.

You always argue otherwise to me Only a few people will keep on doing the programming. The important thing is to offer it as an option. Now programming isn't and instead we have Mandarin, which, although it is spoken by a lot of people, it just isn't popular in NI. Programmers, on the other hand, are in high demand in NI as not enough people are interested in it or have the necessary skill.

It was more to Diglett, less you. I agree in offering it as an option, but when it gets pushed forward like this it's only going to overflow the market with a skill that'll quickly become useless. It may not be over-saturated now, but that's where years of this come in.

It's totally oversaturated now Tech... stuff is the biggest thing in terms of STEM, and everyone's trying to learn coding, which is 100% not what they need to. They need to be learning things like basic programming theory, basic information theory and so forth in order to have some idea of the devices they use every day.
I love hour of code, but it doesn't help much with the big issue, which is people not understanding how the machines that almost run their lives work
Old sci-fi is the best sci-fi! v this is not old sci-fi Maxim 3: An ordnance technician at a dead run outranks everybody. Maxim 24: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a big gun.
"“Even by the twenty-second century, no way had yet been discovered of keeping elderly and conservative scientists from occupying crucial administrative positions. Indeed, it was doubted if the problem ever would be solved.” ^That, on the other hand, is old sci-fi.
Out of the "real" languages i know, I'm by far the best with Python, probably because it was the first "real" language I learned.
Python can do _tons_ with the right libraries. I mean you can't write low-level hardware drivers with it and stuff, but everything from Google to NASA uses it, and Django is one of the most common server-side website building tools.
Not as much as Java or C++.
Name something Java does that Python can't

Video games are really difficult to make...
And require a lot more then just basic coding...
Making a game requires, depending on the game, graphic design artists, a decent amount of money, some entrepreneurship, and a ton of other stuff
Websites are a whole other can of snakes

I haven't personally seen a huge rise in people learning programming. Mostly more do Technology or ICT, not straight up code.

That's just lame. I learned a little French and Spanish in middle school, and did French 1 in High School. French 1 was a NIGHTMARE:P.

I disagree. Like astro said, at least give the option, or start people off with a required one programming course. Do you realize how many programming jobs there are right now? I got offered an internship out of high school, and some of my friends got actual jobs in it:S. Out of HIGH SCHOOL. No college degree. When people are desperate enough to hire high school students, something needs to be done in the education system.

I don't know anything off the top of the my head, but that's what I heard. Plus it's harder to make big programs because of it's lack of braces. It's annoying to have to indent everything right, especially in big programs.

A lot of funds got cut 'cos the NI government isn't great with money
