If you want to get a bigger salary and expand your skill set, this is the programming language you should learn


#ShutterstockCoding is cool. We don’t know how it happened, but in 2015 it’s a fact. Even Chris Bosh, arguably a top ten forward in the NBA with an annual salary of over $22 million, thinks everybody should learn to code.

The benefits of coding are numerous: being able to design webpages, gaining a better understanding of how the digital world is translated into the internet we interact with, and of course adding a ton of value to yourself as a employee. By some measures, having a coding language listed on your resume can mean over $80,000 of potential salary value.

If you want to up your pay, expand your knowledge, or simply prepare yourself for the inevitable rise of the machines, now is as good a time as any to begin learning code. Taking your first steps can be daunting, but for those up to the task #StackSocial has put together a bundled package of courses to teach you how to go from coding rookie to web developer.

The package starts with an introduction to #JavaScript, taking your through the process of making a functional webpage from scratch. From there users will move on to Advanced JavaScript Programming, where you’ll be able to learn more skills in code manipulation, giving you greater power to perfect the style and tone of the web pages you design. Once you're tackled the basics of JavaScript you can start training in #jQuery, the most popular JavaScript library in use today.

The bundle also includes instructions specific to developing mobile websites, an essential skill seeing as 60% of web traffic now comes from mobile.
