content: You're top post right now? You must have gotten really technical and philosophical about all of this. You're scaring the kids, don't you want them to have the ability to build something? Tell s  ff8  omeone that the letter "a" represents a place in storage that can change value. Tell someone that programs start from the first line, and what loops do. If they can understand that logic (anyone can), then they can fucking program. Are you working on crypto systems or physics engines? Learn math. Are you looking to program whatever you want? Fuck it. Get a book. No problems.
