    What most schools don't teach

    Video with some great people in it and one marketing "thing" speaking

    Copy pasted from my facebook:
    To let a high school student to see how coding is, you can make some people not following the wrong track in university (I would say).
    PS - I still remember my first program in paper at DIT!! haha
    Code - functions and small libraries I use


    It’s 2014 and I still use printf() for debugging.

    And as a good software engineer I know said: I think any student making a career choice, irrespective of the career, should get some internship experience early on so they can decide if it's the right industry for them.
