Coding, Or should I say, "Digital writing"
Coding, Or should I say, "Digital writing", is trending these days. Its demand is very high in this century, and why wouldn't it be; It's the 21st century where everything is getting digital.
For everyone, no matter from which field, the computer is just like a basic need these days, so it makes sense why more people are trying to get into this field ( to prepare themselves for the future).
If we define it, Coding is a way to communicate with computers, to give them commands for performing various tasks. It's pretty much similar to having a conversation with a human except for the fact that computers don't have a mind and they only follow your instructions. And similarly, just like we, humans, need a language to communicate with each other such as English, French, Japanese.
Similarly, to communicate with computers, we also need a language( called "programming language") such as; Java, C++, Python etc.
So, In other words, The process of communicating with a computer using a programming language is called "Coding".
Coding, as I mentioned earlier, is just like "Writing".
Because for both, you need to be
Clear about your topic
Have all related info
To know limitations and restrictions
Knowing how to do it
Creativity
1. Clarity about your topic:
Both "coding" and "writing" require you to have an idea or purpose in your mind before beginning. For example, if you are writing, you must have an idea of what to write about, similarly before "coding", you must know what it's going to result in. for example, this code will develop an application.
2. Gathering needed info:
For both, you need to collect info as, in both fields, you can't do anything until you have information and knowledge about your purpose/topic. For example, in the case of writing, you must have references or other articles or books having the same subject as you.
While in the case of "coding", you must know about the classes, entities and attributes related to your topic ( application)
3. To know limitations and Restrictions:
Well, that's another factor common in both "coding" and writing. Before starting, you must be aware of all the limitations and restrictions related to your field. For example, In writing, you must know that you can't use slang or abuse language, and in formal writing, even using humour is also not allowed. While in the case of "coding", you should know the limitations of the language you are using. For example, for java, you must know about semicolons, brackets etc. You must know the syntax of the language.
4. Knowing How to do it:
Both require you to have knowledge of what to do and how to do. For example for "coding" you must have command over the programming language you are using and similarly, in case of writing, you must know what you are writing( what is your topic) and how to write it( how to start, how to explain things and how to end etc).
5.Creativity:
Finally the last point, Creativity.
For success in both writing and coding creativity is must. Because these fields are not like some other fields where you are required to do the same thing everyday; These fields require you to be creative, to be able to think what you are going to do next.
Conclusion:
Both fields are amazing "Coding" is in demand and writing is never gonna be out of trend any time soon(in fact as long as there is life, writing will continue). So whatever you choose keep in mind to maintain consistency, as it is key to success.
Note: If you are planning on choosing any of these fields and you feel difficulty in coming up with new ideas, then remember both are going to give you a Hard time, but no need to panic you will get better. It's better to build a habit of thinking. As its all about thinking.
