I remember my first programming class that the lecturer said, programming is not hard in fact is fun ! Just like cooking.
I can tell you programming is fun ! as long you make it really fun. Programming it’s just like solving crossword puzzle, need to solve it piece by piece (module by module) just like cooking,first your have to make the appetizer, then to the main course and the dessert !
For those who don’t know how to programming or does not know anything about programming at all don’t worry, all you need is a lots of commitment and hard work interest. That’s not all, you need high quality cookware IDE or text editor and some fantastic cookbook programming text book (not the dummy series).
In life, as in programming, some days are harder than others and that’s what keeps your brain alive (and less fun may be). The key to surviving those tough fun days is to pick yourself up and stay focus on your life purpose programming goals (and easter eggs too ;) ). They’re only boring if you have no sense of adventure.
For me, that’s imparting the joy of programming to all mankind, ah... programming is the most spectacular fun a person can have without passing out ! (Yes you herd me, fun !)
When i was start to explore the world of programming, that mean as a novice programmer, I would find comfort in the words of the learned programming sages guru, My hero was Mr Kev. O, frequently education contributor and all time, programming master (should be), Mr Kev says that a written programs greatness can be determined by asking three simple questions.
Is it solvable ? Is it entertaining fun ? Does it sparkle innovative and changgih?
But programming has a rule is this: don’t program unless you have a plan design (and a backup plan at least), doing programming with out a plan is like screaming with your lips duct-taped together.
It’s weak. If you are going to programming, you had to do it fearlessly carefully and with abandon (seriously?) and with a old noodle brain and with some common sense also.
It’s about choosing a path, and just committing to it ! Yes, programming are a lot like life in that way.
Shit ! Curse words, swearing, profanity, expletive-a good old cuss. May be these words aren't such a good idea in some places such as replying clients emails, but when among team mate, co-worker friends and during programming while encounter some fatal error, or some unhand-led exception in the program. It’s perfectly acceptable to have a mouth like one.
Do you guys know what my favorite part of a programming is ? Is when you realize you know something you did’t think you knew.
If life is like a programming, then its worth, its worth greatness, should be judged in the same way
Is it solvable ? Is it entertaining ? Does it sparkle ?
