Start for freeThe Magic of Computers and the Dream of a Billion Software Creators
Childhood fascination with computers often sparks a lifelong passion for technology. This was the case for a young boy in Jordan, whose earliest memories included watching his father, a government engineer, set up a new computer. Despite the family not being able to afford it, his father believed this machine would revolutionize the world and their lives.
The Journey from Gamer to Creator
Like many kids, the boy started with video games, spending hours mastering them. However, a more profound curiosity took hold: the desire to create his own games. The idea of bringing his visions to life was captivating.
The Internet Era and the Quest for Knowledge
As a teenager, when the internet began to spread, it brought with it endless possibilities and a surge of business ideas. But hurdles like choosing a programming language and sharing creations with the world led to a deep dive into the tech world.
Innovating Online Programming
The solution: a code editor in the browser. This revolutionary idea allowed anyone to code and share effortlessly, eventually becoming the world's first online programming sandbox. It went viral, leading to Silicon Valley's recognition and a new life in the United States for the boy, now a man with a vision.
