Bustin Jieber: The 12-Year-Old App Developer Who Taught Himself To Code Goes Viral [Video]

Screen shot 2011-11-17 at 3.51.20 AMThis video was posted about ten days ago and is in the process of going viral. How do I measure "viral"? Do I have a yardstick? No, it's simple. When my mom emails me a website or a YouTube clip, that's my litmus test. (She's not exactly an early adopter.) And, what's more, it's fairly unusual for TED Talks to go viral. At least this quickly, especially on YouTubes. The video is already sneaking up on one million views.The newest round of TED Talks features a 12-year-old app developer, named Thomas Suarez, talking about his life and what brought him to coding at a relatively young age. Sure, he's not the youngest coder out there, nor probably the best for his age, but he's remarkably confident for a young guy (and an impressive public speaker) -- and he's out there building things and educating his friends (and teachers) about technology in the process.
