+
+ Downside: I admit that this is not the best way to
+ introduce computer science to non-programmers. That’s why I’m
+ calling this course a “wild” introduction to
+ computer science.
+
+
+ The ideal way to teach computer science would be to{' '}
+ teach programming first. However, learning
+ to code takes time, and{' '}
+
+ most people - especially adults - won’t ever learn to code.
+ {' '}
+ As{' '}
+
+ software is eating the world
+
+ , I believe there needs to be more ways to teach computer science
+ without requiring programming knowledge -{' '}
+ even if they’re not ideal.
