"I equate coding to reading and writing and basic literacy," says Adam Enbar, founder of New York's Flatiron School, which offers 12-week, $12,000 programs to turn novices into developers. "Not everyone needs to be Shakespeare, just as not everyone needs to be an amazing developer," he says. "But…we're entering a world where every job if not already, will be technical."


Programming languages vary in popularity and difficulty, and it takes hundreds of hours to become even a junior developer. But understanding what "code" is and knowing what's possible and what's not, when working with an IT team, is generally more important than being able to make apps yourself.
