Why Do You Want to Learn Programming? 

Why do you want to learn programming? This question should be with you throughout  this course. Essentially, there are two kinds of programmers. Those who do it for the pure  love of programming, and those who do it as part of their job.

For the Love of Code 
The first kind of programmer writes software for the sheer love and enjoyment of coding.
These people are the true "hackers" of the world -- not those who break into systems,  who are really "crackers."

Programmers in this category often write small programs to help others with a specific  problem that they need to solve. These same programmers will often share ideas and even  source code with others. Freeware and shareware authors generally fall into this category.

Working Programmers 
Working programmers are those who program as part of their daily job. They may be  contractors who write software to fulfill a specific need for a company, or they could be  developers at a well-known (or maybe not so well-known) software development  company.

Of course, just because programming is part of the job does not mean the programmer  doesn't love or enjoy programming. However, these programmers have specific tasks in  mind, which are often driven by hard deadlines, structure, and goals.

Which Are You? 
Now we come back to my first question, "Why do you want to learn programming?" As  you are only beginning to learn programming and have no experience, you probably don't  fall into either category yet.

However, that's not to say that you won't love programming  at some point in the future. Chances are that you are seeking direction, trying to find out  if you will like programming, or if you should seek another career choice.

 Programming  is not always an easy task. It's sometimes full of frustration, upsets, and stress. But it is
also full of joy, rewards, and a sense of pride from accomplishment. So you must give it a  solid effort before you make your decision.

This course is very basic. I would encourage you to take at least one or two more  programming courses (increasing in skill and knowledge) after this one. I believe that  only then will you have the necessary experience and mindset to make a proper decision.
