12岁小天才开发iPhone应用 小版乔布斯演讲实力足

 北京时间11月17日晚间消息，短短十几天的时间，12岁天才少年托马斯·苏亚雷斯(Thomas Suarez)在“TED Talks”大会上的演讲视频即被浏览了100多万次。

上个月在美国曼哈顿开幕的“TED Talks”大会上，12岁的天才少年托苏亚雷斯对台下观众分享他的创作经验与技术，自信且毫不怯场的神态简直就是年轻版的“乔布斯”(Steve Jobs)。

苏亚雷斯不是最年轻的开发人员，也不是这个年龄段中最出色的，但他的自信和演讲水平令人钦佩，他经常给好友和老师讲解技术问题。

受史蒂夫·乔布斯，以及父母的影响，苏亚雷斯开始学习编程，学习 Python、Java 和C语言。苏亚雷斯开发了知名的 iPhone 应用《Bustin Jieber》。如果认为这些还微不足道，那么他最近还创建了自己的公司“CarrotCorp”。

在演讲中，苏亚雷斯讨论了学生们如何成为了有价值的科技信息的来源，尤其是老师，应该被允许帮助学校开发技术课程。(李明)

人物简介：

Thomas Suarez's interest in technology and programming led him to learn Python, Java, and C “just to get the basics down.” He built an app and then coaxed¹ his parents into paying the $99 fee to get his app, "Earth Fortune," in the app store. Thomas also started an app club at school to help other kids build and share their creations², and is now starting his own company, CarrotCorp.

Most 12-year-olds love playing videogames -- Thomas Suarez taught himself how to create them. After developing iPhone apps like "Bustin Jeiber," a whack-a-mole game, he is now using his skills to help other kids become developers.
