Why is coding so important?

Without coding, computers would literally do nothing. They would be completely useless.

That’s because the source code is the set of instructions that tells the computer what to do. If you have ever sent an email, searched something of Google, requested an uber... They're all actions powered by software.

The interface renders content which is created by HMTL & CSS.
