Welcome!!!!!!!!!!
Programming is definitely important. Hundreds of universities, thousands of professors, and scores and scores of students and practitioners teaching, learning and practicing the discipline are enough testimony to the fact. Some of the more obvious reasons programming is important are:- To interact with machines and computers
- To harness the power of computing in all human endeavor
- To automate tasks
- To create intelligent machines,etc
My first tryst with programming was back in high-school with C. I had learnt C one summer by reading this book I found called 'Let us C.' Over time, however, due to lack of practice and use I forgot most of the stuff. It didn't help that I was persuing an education in a discipline that had little need of or exposure to programming(or so I was led to believe.)
Having said all this, I wouldn't go so far as to suggest that programming is for everybody and that learning to code should for a compulsory part of education or anything. Programming is a skill set, an essential and fulfilling skill-set to have but not a requirement.
