 title= THE absolute BEGINNERS GUIDE to learning to CODE/PROGRAM
draft - introduction
i don't know <a href="/view/article?id=1659" target="_blank">why i am writing this book</a>,&nbsp;but i dont know&nbsp;how far along I am going to get with it, chances are that i will probably quit somewhere along the way, hopefully i can get this project far enough along that someone else will be inspired to take up the reigns and carry/move&nbsp;the project&nbsp;forward.
BEFORE you start, i would strongly encourage you to read MY DISCLAIMER(S), these include things like IANAE, YMMV, TINORA, TAGTBM&nbsp; - basically what&nbsp;they boil down to is me telling&nbsp;you&nbsp;that i dont want YOU to INVEST the most VALUABLE thing you have, without "knowing what i know" beforehand, i am NOT trying to sell you a bill of goods here,
ps dont worry if you dont recognize the acronyms, some of them are my own, and i explain each in the article. There a a lot of acronyns used in the programming world, best to get used to using&nbsp;them now.
INTRO
&gt; so you think you want to be a web developer &gt; so you think you want to be a programmer
i am/may be the worlds WORST PROGRAMMER, of course i am exagerating somewhat here(hopefully), &nbsp;i do NOT have the GEEK gene, i was NOT born with it, i did NOT learn it. Everything that IKAP has come 100% un naturally. it has been a fight, a struggle, and
Now dont get me wrong, i am not complaining/whining/... I love/ to program
i have spent far too much time learning to program,
GOAL(S)
&gt; i want to learn to be a better programmer || learn (from my mistakes) - EIKAP for 20 year in 20 days &nbsp;&nbsp;
DO WE NEED - another programming book/tutorial/
- yes - TMI &nbsp;- the problem is NOT that we dont have enough information, the problem may be that we have too much information.
- no -
WHY would you want to learn from someone who may be the worst programmer
&gt; great point - # 1 - we have the same goal - # 2 - we are starting at the same point (but really we are not, but my point is )
