With programming language and math.Oh, so how can a Japanese, a German and an arab connect without speaking english?
... says the CEO of a multinational technology company, whose compensation is tied almost entirely to revenue and profit performance.
That's like asking an ExxonMobil exec whether he believes oil use is related to climate change.
Oh how mistaken he is. If I can repeat my young life, learning more foreign languages would be the top things I would do. Simply learning a language like Chinese can take you to far more places than knowing java/phyton. People do business using human language, not codes.
Then teach Perl, or Ruby, or Python , or goddammit C, C++. If you just mean Swift (despite it being technically open-source) then you've just preparing kids to get into the Apple eco-system.Coding is the future it’s gonna be taught in every school if it isn’t already
[doublepost=1516434139][/doublepost]The last statement whether learning code or a foreign language is more important cannot be generalized. It vastly depends on your native language. When English is your first language that may be true. When it is italian, it is arguable, when it is dutch it just is not true at all.
Apple this morning announced the expansion of its "Everyone Can Code" initiative to 70 educational institutions across Europe, and following the announcement, Apple CEO Tim Cook spoke at Harlow College in Essex, one of the schools that will adopt the new curriculum.![]()
The Guardian shared several of Cook's comments, which covered overuse of technology and boundaries for children.
Cook said he believes there are concepts that can't be taught using technology, and in many courses, technology shouldn't dominate.According to Cook, Apple cares about children out of the classroom, a topic that's notable as Apple investors recently urged Apple to do more to protect children from smartphone addiction.
Apple in early January said in a statement that it thinks deeply about how its products are used and the impact they have on people, including children. Apple takes its responsibility to protect children "very seriously," and has promised more robust parental controls for iOS devices in the future.
Though he does not have children of his own, Cook says in his own personal life, he "put some boundaries" on his nephew. "There here are some things that I won't allow; I don't want them on a social network," he said.
On the topic of learning to code, Cook spoke passionately, as he has done several times in the past. Learning to code, he says, is more important than learning a foreign language.Cook's full commentary, which covers diversity, coding at an early age, and the importance of the press, can be read over at The Guardian.

We that is plainly not correct in any language that I use regularly. All my code is written in English in a self documenting fashion. Only those who understand English would be able to read it unless they were fluent in reading machine code or byte code.But coding is a global language; it's the way you can converse with 7 billion people.
Is it just me or did the headline got his message wrong?
Cook says in his own personal life, he "put some boundaries" on his nephew. "There are some things that I won't allow; I don't want them on a social network," he said.
But can he code?Very ignorant post. Communication is not always limited to spoken languages and programming/math CAN connect you with far more people than your native language.
[doublepost=1516418599][/doublepost]You Tim Cook haters are unbelievable. The man is a genius and doing an incredible job managing the biggest, most profitable company in the world. He was hand picked by the man himself.
Maybe you have a difference of opinion on the Importance of programming versus learning a foreign language, but it’s not he said the earth was flat. There is a lot of truth to what he’s paying. Plus, it’s his business. He’s going to communicate programming is important.
I studied a foreign language for 6 years. Fine, but limited use.
What are you even talking about? He’s not only 100% right, but an incredibly intelligent and successful leader. You should respect Cook.
