    Pashtuns should enter the field of Computer Science

    It’s not just the video-game industry that’s scrambling to hire computer-science graduates. UBC lecturer Kimberly Voll says that all industries are suffering from the shortage. “We’re not getting as many people through our doors as we should be,” she said at a recent showcase of games developed by UBC undergrads, “and we’re not able to fill the jobs that are out there.” Students from UBC’s program are routinely hired by companies like Google and Microsoft, Voll noted, at starting salaries as high as $100,000 annually. “They are clamouring to get our graduates.”

    Part of the problem is the lingering stereotype of computer science being the bailiwick of people living in their parents’ basements. “We’re a very rich and varied discipline,” Voll explained. “These are rich, creative, wonderful people.” And because computers now affect every part of our lives, computer science can connect to nearly every field imaginable, from entertainment to health to finance, which means that students can almost build their own degree path within the computer-science department. “It’s very powerful,” Voll said.

    But that ubiquity is also why the general public takes for granted computers and the people who program them, according to Voll. “These are the jobs that are building the infrastructure of absolutely everything we do,” Voll said.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

    But computer science and programming is really dificult, Some of my classmates who went to study programming said that its really dificult and some stoped the study becuase they cold not handel it, it's not like other studies your analitical toughts must be really good....

      It's not difficult Khostai, sometimes it's the lecturers fault for not eloquently explaining the basic concepts. The thing about CS is that each concept builds upon each other, so as soon as someone is lost, they should immediately seek guidance and not wait for the last moment hoping one day they will get it. Yes, I do agree that CS is not going to be a walk in the park like a degree in Women studies, or Sociology, but that's exactly why it's in such high demand. It's a sub discipline of Math, and it has tons of applications.

        The beginning stages are difficult but once you learn the core basics it's pretty simple. All programming languages have the same core structure. When you understand that programming becomes easy. Like everything else that is hard, the pay off is exceptional.

        Most Afghans and Pashtuns are stuck in the past perusing what was once the desired professions of their time like doctors and engineers. Computer science is the the present and the future. Everything depends on technology and all dependencies can be alleviated using technology = energy, food, housing, health, defense.

          I and some other brothers are involved in this.

          InshaAllah if we succeed,we will help every afghan and every muslim in our provinces for free.
          High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
