Importance of Programming
See this news that USA included programming/computer science in school subjects. Mark Zuckerberg liked this post. It tooks them 06 years to bring this reform. Our Pakistani schools curriculum needs major updates. Until then Pakistani parents can try to use these websites such as code.org and other simple free resources online to teach thier children coding. We are also thinking to start some such initiative to teach computer science online to children in an easy way.

Thus, it appears like that everyone knows about the importance of programming and coding, I guess the best style to learn programming is through talks of great teachers, so on YouTube, one of the best talk series is present, which is of Eric Grimson, who is a computer scientist and former Chancellor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Moreover, as the basics of almost all of the programming languages are same, so if you learn anyone of them in a good way (e.g C++ or Python etc), you can get hold of any other language in a very little time.
