How To Raise The Next Zuckerberg: 6 Coding Apps For Kids

[Kid McNamara]

Does it matter? Being able to outsmart someone in itself is a skill :obama3:

I agree, but that isn't what the thread title and article implies.

dumb reply. his programming skills got him mingling with the big boys. his name was already in the streets(of computing). he goes to harvard, gets together with even better programmers then himself. bam. and here we are. back to silicon valley with a name that was heard of when he was 15. now he has some backing. a little leverage. its a wrap. facebook is Gold.

dont be stupid. teach your kids to code like you want kids to learn another actual language. its called a language for a reason.

We don't need a synopsis of the Zuckerberg story, we have all seen Social Network. Again, I'm not arguing what you're saying, but the thread title and article do not imply that.

Plenty of children are/were raised on coding but there is only one Zuckerberg, and again, it isn't really his programming prowess that got him there. He used programming as a tool, but a smart individual can leverage any number of tools to reach their desired end.

My point is, create an intense and positive learning environment for your children and give them as many advantages as possible.

Hrmm, but in regards to the thread title. He didn't develop the Facebook algorithm nor did he come up with the idea for Facebook.

He developed a music player algorithm at age 15. He was offered a buyout by both AOL and Microsoft, and offered a job from Microsoft, before he ever set foot on a college campus. He was revered by the CS department at Harvard while there.

Even if he did take those twins' idea, he was stil a major driving force to bring it to life.

Again, none of this goes against my point.

your an idiot. taking the title word for word serious, you know what he meant. he didnt come up with the idea, but zuckerberg made facebook, w/o him it would be another social media site in the bushes.

bottom line.. if you expose ur children to instruments, to other cultures, astronomy, to different languages, to everything that will make their mind spin.. then add coding (because we are in the future after all) They will build on everything and increase their chances.

i say mix it w some urban culture as well so that they won't have success and money, but no swag- and only can get mates because they're rich.

people need to realize you can't try to duplicate another person's success, that ship has already sell, to get to a billionaire level you need to develop something that doesn't exist yet

I'm trying to buy this from this old cracker before he dies, because he has no kids
he ripped off a lot of people who wanted to invest in this, instead of actually putting the shyt in production

My 9yr old son is already on this.......partly because I code for a living.

Dude coded his first music/MP3 player at like 15. He had a job offer from Microsoft/AOL before turning 18 and AOL offered to buy his progra,. He turned it all down and went to Harvard.

Dude is a genius.

Genius is a little much, thats like saying the guy who Mugen fighting game engine is a genius, because he made something that already existed for him to go off of

He was a shred business man that got over

the brillance behind facebook was the idea, not anything technological, and he didn't even come up with it he undercutted the other guy

just like Bill Gates, he's just a shrewd business man, and thats something that can't be taught

Do most people even have the requisite IQ to code?

You're missing the point completely. What a shock.

Thank you for this post!

He stole someone else's idea.

I don't think you have to be that smart... just like anything you just have to learn it and practice it.


And most people missed the point of this thread.
