Here's a refreshing video - a Bloomberg interview with Code.org Director Ali Partovi about the importance of teaching coding in our public schools. He and brother Hadi have the support of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and a growing number of Silicon Valley executives, to teach code to kids. Learning to code, as Partovi describes it, is the new test of literacy. It adds to one's ability to think, one's ability to be creative, and one's ability to survive in this technological world.
