I've been programming computers since elementary school, where they taught us, and I stuck with computer science through high school and college.

I'm thinking of going to programming school. Learn how to sit down at any computer and learn to do anything on it. That's all I have left and have interest in.

The world is changing, and I believe that, if I want to stay employed as a programmer, I'm going to have to change with it.

Computer programming has been traditionally seen as something that is beyond most people - it's only for a special group with technical expertise and experience. We have developed 'Scratch' as a new type of programming language, which is much more accessible.

Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.

Although I loved working on technology - I've always been a computer geek at heart - my professors encouraged me to get a real-world job working with customers.

Programmers are in the enviable position of not only getting to do what they want to, but because the end result is so important they get paid to do it. There are other professions like that, but not that many.

Even though I had the talent, programming just didn't feel right. I never considered it very seriously. Some people get gratification from bending a machine to their will. I didn't.

I'm not a programmer myself, but I am a very, very picky end user of technology. I like my machines to work they way they're supposed to, all the time.

I always considered programming as being like modern-day wizardry. You could think of things in your mind and then make them happen.
