  • In 1982, the machine of my imagination was the
    incredibly cool Commodore PET. The PET was
    completely attractive with its revolutionary case
    and truncated pyramid-shaped frame. Retailing at
    about 800, the PET was out of my league in 1982
    you could purchase a lousy amount of stuff for
    that kind of money. I had to come across a
    cheaper alternative. Do you want to learn more?

  • After hours of thumbing through (the late
    lamented) Personal Computer World magazine,
    research has shown that Ohio Scientific
    Superboard 2 was the clear choice, at less than
    half the price.
  • The Superboard had been the country cousin of the
    PET. It lacked a futuristic monitor. It hadn't
    even an occasion. The name said everything. All
    you got was a circuit board printed on it. This
    was raw technology!
  • What it did was a proper QWERTY keyboard, a Basic
    Interpreter built in, and 4 K memory. In case you
    ask, these days you would be forced to find a
    toothbrush with a capacity less than 4K. But this
    was 1982 and there was nothing to scoff at about
    4K.
  • Soon, my Superboard was plugged in and connected
    to my black and white TV, and the little blinking
    underscore invited me to type in.

  • I wasn't sure how to customize it, but my hobby
    magazine came to the rescue. PCW included full
    sample services, as well as hardware reporting.
    My first programme, I suspect, was something
    like
  • 10 PRINT "Hi, World!"
  • 20 Test
  • ROUND
  • My television screen blazed with the words
    "Hello, Planet!"
  • On the road to programming I had taken the first
    step.
  • This approach was somewhat limited I would have
    had to learn how to program if I wanted to do my
    own thing. Have a look at Auf CodeCitrus
    Programmieren lernen to get more info on this.
  • I went to the library, choosing the thinest book
    I could find on this subject. It was called
    "Basic Basic," and it changed my life with that
    little book. I was just totally hooked. Now my
    ambitions have been limited only by my own
    imagination, and the 4 K memory of the
    Superboard.
  • In a couple of weeks I developed my own game of
    space invaders.
  • Oh, if you think this is something out of the
    ordinary, then you would be wrong. In the 80's,
    it taught programming in thousands of schools. So
    what was your favorite computer? Of course the
    Commodore PET!
  • So what does that all have to do with defying the
    shortage of coding skills?

  • The point I'm making is that everyone can work
    out learning programming.
  • What disconcerts me, particularly now that
    computer literacy is considered to be of utmost
    importance, is the reason for the decline in
    programming teaching?
  • If you qualify for university positions,
    expectations are that you would be able to
    utilize important tools such as word processors
    and spreadsheets to a high degree of competence.
    You'll also even be a dab hand at web design or
    writing. I suspect, though, you wouldn't have had
    the opportunity to learn how to program unless
    you're lucky. And that's a huge shame for the
    significant challenge we face when we can't code
    is that we end up being slaves to the program
    framework and being limited by the program
    designer's creativity.
  • My experience tells me that most computer-related
    activities benefit from the ability to understand
    the coding principles such as customizing office
    applications, web design, or even modifying
    computer games. If you wish to learn more about
    this, visit CodeCitrus
  • The fearsome consequences of outsourcing IT
    expertise are constantly hitting the headlines,
    at some point the programming skills shortage
    will have to be filled.
  • The good news is that only once has to be learnt
    the principles of good programming. When you have
    learned, you will extend this focused method to
    every other language on which you turn your back.
  • The other good news is that there is an abundance
    of free compilers and tutorials on the internet
    so there is nothing to stop you.

  • As to the language you would pick to continue
    your journey in coding, I 'd probably go for
    Simple or FORTRAN but what tools you need to give
    out would probably be the deciding factor.
  • So if you want to get a competitive edge and be
    the first to fill that skills market coding gap,
    open your favorite web browser, download a
    compiler, and start programming!
