Mark Zuckerberg, the visionary co-founder and CEO of Facebook, has etched his name as an iconic figure in the ever-evolving world of technology and entrepreneurship. From his humble beginnings as a young code enthusiast to emerging as one of the most formidable tech titans of our era, his journey is a testament to the power of innovation and determination. Embark on a captivating exploration as we navigate through the intricate pathways of Zuckerberg's early coding odyssey, unearthing the roots of his programming fervor and the pivotal instances that charted the course of his extraordinary career.

In high school Mark developed an application called Synapse Media Player. An MP3 player is able to identify favourite songs of a person and create subsequent playlists. In fact, it was an early version of Spotify. Both AOL and Microsoft were interested in the project and wanted to employ young Zuckerberg. Nevertheless, he has chosen to study in Harvard instead.

Facebook is to make the world open and connected.

Zuckerberg was right, preferring studies to work. His world-famous application currently counting for 2.7 billion of active users was created during the University years. Mark Zuckerberg emphasises that initially the goal of Facebook was to connect people and provide a more convenient communication mode. Later, this social mission resulted in high-value company Facebook.

The founder’s current goal is to keep Facebook international; not only American but global values are promoted through it. It teaches young coders that a successful application is not only creative but also broad-minded. Students at Kiddy School understand it crystal clear. The latest examples of their projects are left below. Advice for young programmers and beginners is there from Kiddy students themselves.

“To be honest, the story of Facebook is quite boring” – M. Zuckerberg

If you have seen The Social Network movie (2010) you may have an image of web-development as a very sudden field. However, Zuckerberg argues that in reality it differs. It is likely to be more routine than the film shows, coding with a purpose and no drama. Mark Zuckerberg together with his team concentrated on creation of a valuable service. The one to use themselves. I bet they do.


Programming is unavoidable for any business sphere.

In one of his conferences in Los-Angeles, Zuckerberg predicted that soon everyone, not only developers would become involved in programming. According to him back in 2014, even manufacturing and other businesses would become mobile. Strong analytical skills or clairvoyance it was, but we can see that driven by current pandemic and other more incremental reasons, the tale became true. All the businesses move online, and it makes life better, isn’t it? Just recall how much you shop online, post pictures through social media or just chat with friends and colleagues. I guess video conferences and online lessons do not even need to be mentioned.

With Kiddy School your child can learn the skills needed for progressive web-development. Where would the world be now if Mark Zuckerberg did not start programming at the age of 9? Let’s give the next generation even greater opportunities for sustainable growth. We have got everything for it.
