(EsPCEx -2018) Learn to code, its more important than English as a second language AppleCEO Tim Cooksays coding is the best foreign language that a student in any country can learn. The tech executive made the remarks to French outlet Konbini while in the country for a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. The tech leader gave some brief thoughts on education: If I were a French student and I were 10 years old, I think it would be more important for me to learn coding than English. Im not telling people not to learn English in some form but I think you understand what I am saying is that this is a language that you can use to express yourself to 7 billion people in the world. I think that coding should be required in every public school in the world. Of course, its in Cooks best interest to have the world learning how to code. He runs a tech company that depends on access to a constantly growing pipeline of talent. But it could be in your interest too: studying coding could increase your chances of pulling in a big salary. A computer-science education, at least in countries like the US, is one of the most viable and lucrative career paths open to young people today. But, Cook says, the benefits go beyond that. Its the language that everyone needs, and not just for the computer scientists. Its for all of us. He added that programming encourages students of all disciplines to be inventive and experimental: Creativity is the goal. Coding is just to allow that. Creativity is in the front seat; technology is in the backseat. With the combination of both of these you can do such powerful things now.

(EsPCEx - 2018) The photography exercise book by Bert Krages Training your eye to shoot like a pro A while ago I was asked if Id like to have a look at Bert )(rages book. My initial thought was that it would pretty much be a list of try this exercises. Well in a way it is, in that you really need to go out and try the exercises, not just read about them. In much the same way that my piano playing wont Improve by just buying more books about playing the piano... Try the technical exercises - a desk lamp and an egg really can teach you an enormous amount about the realties of lighting, shadows and reflected light. Ive been a pro photographer since 2004 and taking the time to do some of the exercises has been of real benefit. A well-written book that is packed with useful images to illustrate the matters at hand. Its nice to see the author didnt fall into the trap of only including perfect photos - you will look at some and think I could do better than that - good! Its a book for people who want to take more photos and increase their satisfaction from doing so. Definitely one to try if you feel youre perhaps clinging to some of the technical aspects of photography as a bit of a safety blanket, to avoid the fluffy artsy stuff. Book Author Info. Bert Krages is a photographer and attorney who is the author of two previous photography books, Legal Handbook for Photographers and Heavenly Bodies: The Photographers Guide to Astrophotography. What kind of text is this?
