The reform plan of information technology curriculum in Zhejiang Province has been issued, and Python has decided to enter the information technology college entrance examination in Zhejiang Province. From 20 18, the programming language of information technology textbooks in Zhejiang Province will be changed from vb to Python.
In fact, not only Zhejiang, Beijing, Shandong and other major education provinces have decided to incorporate Python programming foundation into the content system of information technology courses and college entrance examination, and Python language courses will also become a trend for children to learn.
In particular, the latest information technology textbook for the sixth grade in Shandong Province has also added Python content, and primary school students have begun to contact Python language!
On1October 17+0 1, the examination center of the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on the adjustment of the National Computer Rank Examination (NCRE) system, and decided to add "Python language programming" to the computer level 2 examination from March 20 18.
According to past experience, the new examination subjects are generally less difficult. Moreover, compared with the traditional subjects such as C language, Python is relatively simple, which is undoubtedly good news for college students.

Programming has a future?
Imagine: 10, 20 years later, the younger generation in China have learned Python, and mastering programming is as common as using Office now. What kind of subversion will the financial sector suffer? Perhaps there will be such a scene: after high-frequency and systematic traders enter the industry, they can easily master the tricks they have learned and proudly say, "I learned this in primary school."
At the same time, in the frontier financial fields such as quantitative trading and AI stock selection, the entry threshold has narrowed. In that era when everyone knew how to program, the computer skills of the candidates were similar. If you want to stand out, you have to test math and financial skills. Or more accurately, only generalists who are proficient in mathematics, finance and computers can be favored by the world's top investment institutions such as Goldman Sachs.
As a Wall Street executive said, programming is more about cognitive concepts than technical details: "This is a mode of thinking. You need to get your brain used to using programming languages and tools to solve problems. Once you do this, you can draw inferences from others, and your competitiveness in the job market can be greatly increased. "
