no its for everyone,and the fact that people think its not for anyone is a idiot. i dont think its for me but if there is a football player who likes to do computer stuff they shouldnt be told no unless that specific person is trying to be a jackass about it or half assing the projects or something around those lines.

If this story all by itself doesn't convince you to study computer software and learn to code then I don't know what to tell you. 17 years old and 30 million dollars? Do the math.

This is great that a 17 yr old teenager is getting offered millions for an app he created. This shows you that the brain is an amazing thing & we are powerful beyond measure. The possibilities are endless. This is great ! Also i would like to hollaaaa !!

The struggle you go through, with the coding just to make one simple app work -.-" I wouldn't want to study computer software.
