Eh, I personally don't really enjoy programming. I took C++, and it was not fun, I found it fun at the beggining to do simple commands, but then tedious to do the must simplistic functions. I will do Java next year, but... im skeptical of how fun it might be. I enjoy the CREATIVITY of programming, since you can get a 4-5 line program to do the same thing as a 10-20 line program. Nevertheless, its just too boring nowadays.

C ++ wow. I started debugging stuff with .com and .exe files 20 years ago.

I remember that I wrote a closed loop on a disk that I had cause someone was steeling people programs for the final labs.

I put a loop to delete the Dos Partition LOL WHAT a HOOT. There were several computers that just CRASHED during the finals. Oh did I say that I put the disks in Before the finals? opps...

Oh how many lines of code to do it? just 3

IMHO Programming is the worst-taught subject in general.

For me I'd say scietific programming is the worse taught subject.

Lots of frustrating trial and error.
