"Republicans and Democrats don't see eye-to-eye on much these days, but there is one aspect of the future that they can agree on: "Becoming literate in code is as essential to being literate in language and math," says House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Republican from Virginia."

"President Obama agrees: "Computers are going to be a big part of your future," he predicts."

"Computer programmers and software developers already make more money than the average American — and while many jobs aren't coming back, the job outlook for programmers is great. Cantor says that coding is 'the necessary tool of this century.'"

"It's an interesting idea, but how true is it? Is coding really for everyone?"
