Hi Guys!
So, many of us must have certainly dreamed of becoming the next Zuckerberg overnight! Well if "overnight" was all we had for programming, it'll certainly remain a dream for Good!.
http://oxforddictionaries.com defines "Programming" as "the process of writing computer programs." But the general notion is that Programming is something you do when you have fat brains. That is 100% WRONG. If the people really had fat brains, they would have made something that programs automatically everything(which has not yet been done, fortunately!)

Well I'm not sure when Sam said that but whatever he said makes sense, doesn't it? And what is that made computers so capable? Programming. Loads of it.Most of the people won't care about the actual "coding" when they create documents, listen to music, play games or even when they write such blogs. Most of them who care, either read about programming and give up or chant the mantra that "Programming's tough Bitches!" And the rest, well, they are who we call programmers. So these PROs are into their laptops all the time trying to make something that people would love( and of course to make a lot of money)!Haha, again! Another myth, PROs are generally introverts, they don't care about anything, basically they are machine themselves and wear the tag "DO NOT DISTURB". PROs are Humans! In brief, Programmers are actually the most respected group of "techies" and one personal advice, "Never Mess up with a programmer, or he'll mess with your whole family just sitting at his home with a laptop and a beer in his hand".A point to be noted here is that “Computer language design is just like a stroll in the park. Jurassic Park, that is.” It is tough, very tough! However, if you get the hang of it, you're someone people look forward to!
How to start, is basically a rhetorical question. Start with improving your logic! If you think, you've had enough, start with basic languages like C, Visual Basic, etc. Go to the advanced ones after a LOT of practice! And when deciding upon what to learn next, see one sample code and choose the fanciest one. That may or may not be better but it'll sure be interesting!

Sam,it comes as a beautiful surprise
