SINGAPORE – If children can learn only one language other than their native one, it should be coding because “coding is a global language”, said Apple chief executive officer Tim Cook.
Mr Cook, who was on his first trip to Singapore since taking over the helm at the tech giant in 2011, also met iOS developers and secondary school students apart from calling on Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
This was no coincidence.
Growing the Apple developer ecosystem is a key agenda of Mr Cook’s two-day visit to Singapore, and he wanted to reach out to a potential army of coders while they are still in school.
During The Straits Times’ 20-minute interview with him on Wednesday (Dec 11), he talked about Apple opening a third store in Singapore and about helping students and adults come of age in the digital economy.
