Programming, a right venture
Finding myself in programming and how important it is to me and the entire world
I have always dreamt of seeing an automated environment ranging from home, work, social life among others which is being realized when you compare now and then here in Uganda. For example, we can see the use of online transport applications around Kampala like safe boda, uber, taxify among others which has made transport around town very reliable and available at any time of your convenience. I would talk about applications like mobile money, Pegasus, PayWay Uganda which makes everyone manage and access their accounts at any time of need. I cannot forget google applications like google drive where you can walk with your data on the cloud. How about git hub and pivot tracker that I have come to learn about from Andela, this is amazing. It doesn’t matter where you are but you can work and deliver. This inspires me a lot that everyone is solving a problem and ensuring we have system automation in our lives. And most of these applications, you can’t do without them.
This has inspired me to put my effort in programming to also be part of the team that implements this logic to facilitate computing operations and functionality to solve problems happening as of today. I always say coding is a life saver and a problem solver, this coding intends to help me develop knowledge to develop provide solutions to problems surrounding us. Am not only stopping at that but also to take it on as a career and be one of the first class world problem solvers.
When I look at problems surrounding our business and companies for example paying tax fare in cash, paying physical cash in shops yet these systems can actually be automated. Programming is all we have got for automation to solve problems which is why I call upon business and companies to hire programmers to create functions and classes for specific tasks. So that they can automate the business process and system by using machines and software.
I believe programming is a right venture attributing it to how the world is taking technology as a priority. Our children should start learning these programming languages right from pre -primary level.
