This is excellent.
The advice of Nadia Edwards-Dashti at 3 mins 4 secs is good, if you want a job as an organ-grinder's monkey, because to understand what they want you to do, you will need to have learned much of the stupid nonsense they learned. But before you take such a desperate measure, try self-teaching, and then try just solving a common problem on your own, before learning the "received wisdom" on how such problems are typically solved. If you want to see whether you might enjoy programming, you could do worse than try Grasshopper, which is a self-contained app that you can install on your phone, and which teaches you some of the fundamental ideas, but without you needing to learn how to use any text editors or other things.
General Assembly sounds like a good organisation.
And when you have got one of these things going here in Cochabamba, please, please, please tell me so that I can apply for a job! ❤️💓💕
Here's to ditching Plan B! 😂
I have a better idea about how to resolve this predicted shortfall in ICT professionals. If one private company can afford to fund this institute, why can't I get enough to even feed myself?
Could it be that people like Larry Ellison and Jeff Bezos don't want that problem solved, because that problem is worth hundreds of billions of dollars to them? The following "explanation" of an "enterprise level" application development framework shows why large information systems development costs typically run into billions, and why, having invested in such a system, nobody will take lightly the decision to switch to a different framework provided a competitor.
Licences for such frameworks are typically sold for tens of thousands of dollars "per seat", and training costs are of the order of at least US$500 per person per day. Then consider the cost of hardware sufficient to run these systems, and have them able to cope with very high peak loads, and you start to see how much money is being made by companies like Oracle and Amazon, and therefore how much money they stand to lose if a couple of dozen women set up a company that can wipe them out of the picture within a year.
The same company could develop secure communications infrastructure.
