You often hear that we need to teach computer science as a foundational skill. Why? Well I'm not sure many of the leaders pushing this forward have great answers other than jobs!
<br/>
<br/>
But it is fundamentally important that we do teach programming as a core skill. The reason is whatever you specialty, be that biology, psychology, or geosurveys, basic programming will supercharge that skill.
<br/>
<br/>
That's why I'm excited to introduce you to Software Carpentry and Jonah Duckles. They are bringing these skills and more to scientists and educators throughout the globe.
