I have 1000 Points Now in CodeCademy.
I completed BASIC LESSONS : HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, Ruby and now I'm doing Python.
I dislike JavaScript because it the code is often lengthy and it it sends me all kinds of errors when I forget a semicolon somewhere or either I misspell a variable.
As For Python, most of my errors are Indentation. You just need to be Used to it.
I'm not Experienced Enough to Understand The Errors the Interpreter Throws me. The Most Obvious Error is the T-Variable... Usually because you misspelled your Variable.
I'll try to Digest it all. And Visit a Few Other Sites.
I'm much Better at Writing. Less Errors.
I will Learn C++ & Perl as those are Popular or Useful Languages.
Good Luck With Programming !
There's nothing Magic in Programming. It's Very Logical. Learning it is easy with the Many Resources in the Internet and the Books You Can Buy.
People are often Friendly if You ask a Question on a Forum.
You can Easily Make Games, Run Simulations and You Can Share Your Work With Your Friends.
Programming is a Process of Creating an Object Without Any Physical Material (*apparently*) so the Process of Creation is Much Faster using a "Virtual Medium" than Building an Object inside the Physical World.
Everyone can View, Share & Improve Your Work. It practices Logical Thinking, Writing, Speaking.
Logical Thinking : You need to Give a Specific Sets of Instructions. Some Methods are Much Faster.
Writing & Speaking : In Programming, You Use a Grammar With Specific Rigid Rules. Not respecting the Rules Would Lead to Big Errors and Bugs. Everything has its place. If you Understand Why it's important why you need to Follow Rules, How You Can Make Something Readable, You'll Start to Pay Attention to Those Aspects in Writing. A Grammar of a Programming Language isn't different From an Usual Grammar, it just Follows another Set of Rules.
Programming is Important to Learn ! Computers were at First Designed to Do Work and Create Programs. If You Don't Know How to Program, it's like not Using Your Computer Correctly.
In fact, Programming is Popular and If You Go into College or into University, it's very Likely that you would need to Use it on a Daily Basis.
Good Day ! Keep Your Motivation !
On two occasions I have been asked, – "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
Charles Babbage, Passages from the Life of a Philosopher (1864), ch. 5: "Difference Engine No. 1"
"Present-day computers are designed primarily to solve preformulated problems or to process data according to predetermined procedures. The course of the computation may be conditional upon results obtained during the computation, but all the alternatives must be foreseen in advance. ... The requirement for preformulation or predetermination is sometimes no great disadvantage. It is often said that programming for a computing machine forces one to think clearly, that it disciplines the thought process. If the user can think his problem through in advance, symbiotic association with a computing machine is not necessary.
WikiQuotes : en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Programming
— David Parnas
Theory is when you know something, but it doesn’t work. Practice is when something works, but you don’t know why. Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don’t know why.
A computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match
Q: What is the most often-overlooked risk in software engineering?
A: Incompetent programmers. There are estimates that the number of programmers needed in the U.S. exceeds 200,000. This is entirely misleading. It is not a quantity problem; we have a quality problem. One bad programmer can easily create two new jobs a year. Hiring more bad programmers will just increase our perceived need for them. If we had more good programmers, and could easily identify them, we would need fewer, not more.
— Henry Ford
I (…) am rarely happier than when spending an entire day programming my computer to perform automatically a task that would otherwise take me a good ten seconds to do by hand.
— John Carmack, from Michael Abrash’ Graphics Programming Black Book.
I have found that the reason a lot of people are interested in artificial intelligence is the same reason a lot of people are interested in artificial limbs: they are missing one.

Once a new technology starts rolling, if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part of the road.
