Few jobs are safe choices for a future career. However, the 
programmer job is guaranteed as being a „gold bracelet”. Who and 
especially how can one innitiate this path? A respected 
specialist from Silicon Valley will answer these questions for us.

His name is Andrei Alexandrescu - and is known as the "Romanian 
from Facebook". And he came to iLikeIT with Walter Bright and 
Scott Myers. All three are among the world’s brightest minds in 
the software field. Andrei Alexandrescu and Walter Bright have 
been working on D language programming for 9 years and Scott 
Meyers is a famous author of  ++  books (C++ is exactly the 
programming language that D is supposed to replace).

They came to hold a conference in Brasov, then visited Romania 
and finally arrived in the iLikeIT studio. Walter Bright says he 
began programming when he was bored playing games and started to 
look in their code to modify it. Then, he has been working in C++ 
for years, with a continuous desire to improve it - and the 
easiest way to do this was to create his own programming language.

"The easiest way to persuade young people to learn programming is 
to find something that's useful and can guarantee immediate 
success. Therefore, I think they should first take up programming 
on mobile devices, " said Scott Meyers.

You can learn more about programming visiting Code.org - which is 
supported by Facebook - or RosettaCode.org. Both are very good 
for young people who want to initiate a programming career.
