291K "app economy" jobs is nothing to sneer at: http://www.apple.com/about/job-creation/ http://www.apple.com/about/job-creation/. One of 'em is mine. I support a family of five with it. Why isn't that on the list of things we'd want to teach kids to be able to do?
The code.org video opens with a Steve Jobs quote, and the language that powers much of his legacy isn't good enough to teach? Really?
- aashaykumar92 14y agolet me know if im missing something, but where do they mention specific programming languages? I don't seem to see any reference to it. Furthermore, Objective C is taught like the others--for example, CodeSchool has an entire section on iOS app development and an Objective C tutorial to go along with it...
- crgt 14y agoWhen you volunteer to teach (http://www.code.org/help http://www.code.org/help), they list languages that you can teach, and the list they push does not include Objective-C. Nor is there an "other" option. EDIT: They added an "other" option to that list since yesterday when I first tried to sign up. That's a good start.
