Field evolution programming In recent years, it has not become the preserve of those who go to a school to learn how to develop applications. Rather, this science can be obtained from Anywhere on the Internet In an easy way, which contributed to the spread of programmers in the world and the entry of many age groups into the field of programming, including children, as Apple’s announcement of a child who was less than eleven years old in its conferences has become a regular thing, so will programming become a basic science?


Apple is seeking to increase developers

Apple is always proud of its developer community, how much money it pays them and how much it helps them to create with many tools, training courses, and the like. Apple devices are completely dependent on applications and without developers there will be no presence of the mighty Apple devices that generate billions of dollars and one of Apple's best attempts in recent times. The launch of the new Swift language that was introduced as a language much easier than other languages ​​and at the same time it has great capabilities that enable developers to innovate and design powerful applications capable of attracting the user and of course money.


Children are an important category

As the Arabs said, knowledge at a young age is like engraving on a stone because the minds of children are clear and more receptive to new information, and therefore Abel has not forgotten to take care of children, either through Scholarships or courses And the like, but the most notable thing it has done is release an app Swift Playgrounds The iPad is an application to teach programming in an easy and interactive way so that anyone can learn programming, including children. Try it now if you haven't.

Programming small robots

Apple's Swift Playgrounds software not only enables learning by making small programs, but also enables learning to code by programming many robots provided by companies such as Lego. These robots are made up of many parts, motors and sensors, where new equipment can be added to the robot to increase its capabilities, and this equipment can then be programmed so that the robot can use it. All this using a simple program to teach programming.


Excellent source of income

In the highly competitive labor market, children learn for a long time, then often go to university (or any parallel education) and spend several additional years to learn a profession, then graduate and search for work to gain practical experiences, this is all good, but what if children learn programming at a relatively young age? They will be able to write competitive applications as they reach the youth stage and get excellent income during their education, which establishes the values ​​of work and self-reliance, and can also provide a large side or basic income after the young person completes his education, as the applications, even if they are free, are earned using ads. Finally, we would like to remind you that the Arab market is still hungry for new applications due to the lack of Arabic content now, and it is an excellent opportunity for any young developer to succeed in its application and be one of the pioneers of the field in the region, all of this is possible before the age of twenty.


Do our children learn programming?

I think that the answer to this question in most Arab homes will be “No, the child should focus on what is more important like his school.” However, the truth is that a comparison should not be made between programming education and academic excellence, as the child has the ability to learn many things, and even the easy and fun Swift teaching method will The child encourages learning and creativity, and learning to code helps to improve logical thinking and link ideas.


What are the barriers to educating children?

The main obstacle here is the language, as the Swift Playgrounds program and most other methods of education require familiarity with the basics of the English language, which can hinder many Arab children from learning programming at a young age, and for this we hope for the emergence of Arabic programs and courses that are more interested in teaching programming in a simple and interactive manner.

(Note: Apple has begun to increase the number of languages ​​supported by Swift Playgrounds and may support Arabic in the future)


last word

Smartphone applications are among the best technology has reached in this century, as it facilitates life and carries out many functions, and it has become easy to teach and design since companies developing the system such as Apple make most of the designs and make them available for developers to use in their applications, and the Swift language is one of the easiest languages. Absolutely and the most effective one so if you are still hesitant to learn to code or teach your child, Vance to hesitate and start now.
