SO after reading this article... i immediately knew that the author was way to intrigued by the idea of promgramming. he goes on and on about the goods of programming. the creativity behind it, the freedom, the sensation you get when you are completed with the project and so on...
however, he does not mention that although it can be rewarding, it sure is not for people without the patience of programming. of course programming can be considered a little game when it comes to debugging and playing around with codes, however, for people who want IMMEDIATE results and tangible products.... programming is definitely not for them. ALso, the strenuous exercise of going through line by line and fixing tedious details can be stressful for an individual.
so lets keep in mind, that although programming is POWERFUL and definitely useful, it is not for everyone but i suppose dabbling your feet in the water cant hurt a person. but definitely, if there is talent and love for the skill, one should pursue the area.
