Software is eating the world
Anyone who’s not been cryogenically frozen over the last decade will have noticed that software is in the process of eating the world, industry by industry…
Demand for developers has a 20% annual growth rate, while enrollment on Computer Science courses is flat-lining at 1%.
If you’ve got all your fingers and toes, you’ll be able to see these numbers don’t add up.
So we ask – Do you really need to go to University to become a coder?
Yes?
Those who might answer ‘Yes’ generally fall into 3 main camps:
One undeniable claim is that a Computer Science degree gives you a theoretical grounding that’s hard to learn without expert guidance. If you plan to develop device drivers, or work with artificial intelligence or on real-time embedded systems with loads of algorithm analysis, a CS degree is a must....
