Many professions require some form of programming. Accountants program spreadsheets; musicians program synthesizers; authors program word processors; and web designers program style sheets. When we wrote these words for the first edition of the book (1995–2000), readers may have considered them futuristic; by now, programming has become a required skill and numerous outlets—books, on-line courses, K-12 curricula—cater to this need, always with the goal of enhancing people’s job prospects.
Me parece muy interesante el contexto histórico ya que dicen que en los 90 eso sonaba futurista, y ahora es casi una realidad. Hoy en día aprender algo de código o lógica computacional ya no es opcional si realmente queremos tener mejores oportunidades laborales.
