learn to program in ten years. everyone who buys a learn to program in 24 hours/7 days/3 weeks book knows that that’s not what they’re going to learn to do don’t they? this article points out that picking up the syntax is not the same as learning to program which is something i forget myself some days.

get interested in programming, and do some because it is fun. make sure that it keeps being enough fun so that you will be willing to put in ten years. damn right.
