What led you to Programming?
Programming is fun.
I was introduced to programming by friends at UWI who told me that programming was pretty amazing, and that it was easy. Then one day during registration, I realized that one of the courses that I wanted to do was unavailable due to shortage of students, bummer, so I decided to fill the gap with a CS course since it is no extra cost and I had space in my time-table.
Well I found out that it was not so easy. I was fascinated however and kept looking at the things that I could do but I did not know how just yet. My lecturer fed us with knowledge and I would go home and stare at my compiler. After about a month, I could put together a few lines and understand what they did, and I did my very first hello world with input. That was the most exiting thing in school ever in terms of education.
My question is, what caused you to do programming? Were you interested before you started? Did you see or hear about any exiting stuff that you could do? Was the source a book, magazine, or word of mouth? Did you just want an extra course, then later find it to be exiting? Did programming, also, live up to your expectation, or top it?
I have to admit that programming is every bit amazing as my friends had told me, even better.
Let's act on what we agree on now, and argue later on what we don't.
