losprince:


ps: in my own opinion, programmers are neither born nor made, only individuals driven with passion and logical reasoning can make their selfs programmers.

Duly Noted. cool

MizMyColi:

I'm not just an "(f)" to Him."Guys" in this case might include Ladies (there aren't as much in the world of programming tho').

Your remark is incitive and totally uncalled for. cool

By guys, he means "guys",, I know that buh you dont know that. I admire your interest in becoming one of us as Ive always wished in the past here to see more females embrace programming buh I found his comment insalting to other guys out there. Am sorry, am not a feminist buh I wont try to make a guy feel good over a lady and vice versa cool

GoodBoi1: So no need to fear , the same analytical skills used for other disciplines can be applied in programming.
This is comforting smiley

Djtm: That's a rather tough question. But if I were to place my laptop as a bet I'd say they are born. They'd have to be made afterwards tho. Not everybody can be a programmer IMO. I've seen some "made programmers" tho and they're not great. There's a difference between "born" and "made". Messi was born to play football, that is his ministry, the ball is attracted to him. The same way some people will never be able to kick a ball in a straight line to save their lives no matter how hard they train.
Based on your points, I find that I almost totally agree with you. cool

A combination of both,

You brain has to be tuned in a certain manner to really love programming and IT, but you also need to get the proper training in programming to ameliorate yourself.

Before you start programming, you must ask yourself, are you a good thinker/problem-solver. Do you like to Analyse things? Do you like to build things from scratch and see how they work? Are you familiar with Looping/Iterations? Are you familiar with core concepts that are native to programmers/engineers in general. If so, then programming is for you.

It can be a real hassle at times, but the end result is always rewarding.

I might have to rersort to google to answer the questions above (save the ones directed to me). I'll let you know when I'm done and then I'll try to explain what I've learned in my words. Its not like I can't request your explanations, but methinks its better I take a leap of faith[so to speak]. Thanks @Fulaman198.

If you need any explanations please let me know.

Two of my computer science/engineering professors when I schooled abroad were women, so don't be afraid to get involved in the field. As long as you believe in yourself you can do anything. Just have the will to succeed and dedicate time to doing high quality work. Wherever there is a will, there is a way.

@mizmycoli,

Sometime ago, just like u, I also told myself I wanted to know what programming and all those coding meant and so I got curious to find out from friends around me but believe me, I just couldn't handle all those jargons I was being taught, hence, I simply just took to my heels grin and then resolved to only admire them from a distance, lol


@Africanapple, I see u too dear smiley

Thanks, I like it when I'm shown kindness grin I haven't been able to get my hands on a good phone or my PC either due to my present location. I'll make sure I'm accountable and keep you posted as soon as I get to my "comfort zone" smiley Again, Thank You.

Yah never lose confidence in yourself. I know that it is mainly a male dominated field, but females are just as smart/brilliant when it comes to STEM.

When you say good phone, do you mean smartphone or PC to type on in order to respond to this thread? You will do fine, just study hard, and always ask a lot of question on material that confuses you. With the advent of YouTube, there are a plethora of videos for people to watch now in order to understand difficult material.
