Programming is a basic skill, like reading and writing. It’s something you should possess if you’re going to successfully navigate the information age. I can’t imagine living in a world of computers and not knowing how to program – it’s absurd. Programming is sheer power and with it you can implement your ideas.

To some, programming is perceived as purely technical, there’s no art to writing a program. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Programmers create software by designing (and implementing) architectures of interweaving patterns of abstract concepts. However, before you get to that level of skill, you first have to master the technical. And like any other discipline, be it painter or craftsman, mastery of the technical can take years before you are able to express yourself.
