<p>Before I got to college, I only knew how to write small math functions on my graphing calculator. (The most involved it ever got was a Riemann sum calculator.) The following was my final project for my first ever programming class in college: [url=<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/user/dsblank#p/u/18/LXoWuqb9oXI]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/user/dsblank#p/u/18/LXoWuqb9oXI]YouTube</a> - dsblank’s Channel<a href=“Please%20excuse%20my%20horrible%20accent!”>/url</a></p>
<p>Programming really isn’t all that hard once you pick up on the basic concepts. Past the first few weeks in college, I never felt at a disadvantage compared to the students who had been married to computers for half of their life. Just don’t be intimidated when someone shows off their knowledge of IP protocols. </p>
<p>I almost decided to major in computer science but I lost interest when I got to the systems classes (architecture, operating systems, compilers, etc).</p>
