Get Ready, Soon Everyone Will Be Able To Code

Get Ready, Soon Everyone Will Be Able To Code | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Code runs the world, but coding today isn't for everyone. Generally, it's still done by a select group of mostly male, math-literate programmers, and the rest of us are just consumers rather than participants in code's production.


"The distance between using your computer and programing your computer has gotten wider and wider."


Could that be about to change? The media theorist Douglas Rushkoff thinks so. He's been championing a new iPad app called Ready that he thinks marks an important shift in our relationship with software.


"The distance between using your computer and programing your computer has gotten wider and wider," he says. "I've been discouraged that most portals to being a digital creator have involved these really difficult coding languages that require you to be at a certain level of sophistication in mathematics. Ready has a really simple interface that lets people have the experience of programming something for themselves."...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Ready wants to democratize programming by making it simple enough to create a game that people with no coding experience can do it.
