The invention of the smartphone and its effects on travel, manufacturing, entertainment, and finance are touted in this primer on coding and the demand for programmers in the contemporary job market. Computer Science: The Importance of Coding, an entry in the Show Me Science: Advanced—Technology series, traces history related to coding, including its weaving industry origins in the 1800s with Joseph Jacquard’s loom cards, the 1890 U.S. census, IBM, the rise of bit sequentials, byte strings, the 1960 first ASCII code, and other programming and compiling languages up to the present. Exploring the building blocks of system, architectural, and application programming languages, the film features encouraging remarks from moguls Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, and touches on further topics such as "white hat" and "black hat" hackers, non-profit "Hour of Code" learning opportunities, the high-pay technological future, and unique job choices available in the field. Recommended. Aud: J, H, C, P. (J. Williams-Wood)
