AWS Community Hero helps create the next gen of programmers | #reinvent
by Marlene Den Bleyker | Oct 7, 2015
Those who do – MUST teach. Lynn Langit, who holds distinctions ranging from Microsoft MVP, AWS Community Hero and Google Developer Expert is not only educating the enterprise with her Big Data and Cloud expertise, but she is training the next generation to learn, innovate and engage in technology.
Langit, Big Data and Cloud architect at Lynn Langit Consulting, stopped by theCUBE, SiliconANGLE’s Media team, to talk to host John Furrier during Amazon re:Invent 2015 to share her industry insights gained from helping enterprise clients and children understand the importance of the cloud and technology.
Creating familiarity
As a trainer and architect, Langit feels it is vital to fill the skills gap by teaching. An area of focus for Langit is to move enterprise to the cloud. “DBAs (database administrators) are conservative and don’t like change,” she said. “I am showing them that there are data choices in the cloud.”
She explained that in order to move enterprise to the cloud, it needs to be familiar. “Amazon is providing solutions that are relational. Core relational is what people want to build on,” she said.
Langit sees two kinds of clients, the startups that are trying to innovate and the enterprise that needs her to translate the traditional paradigm to a cloud paradigm. She is also passionate about data. Langit expressed frustration by saying, “People are throwing away data when they should be creating more, generating and keeping the data.”
Creating the next generation of programmers
During theCUBE interview, Langit revealed her feelings on machine learning as a useful service, the value of learning all types of programming language and her thoughts on IoT. Yet the most compelling part of the interview was her discussion about her non-profit, Teaching Kids Programming. She is providing teachers with course work to help them educate children in computer programing. She is also doing lab work around IoT and data with kids, and her program is exciting the next generation of computer scientists.
