To Be a Programmer.

I started out with a relatively simple mouse driven language (StarEdit triggers for ums), nearly a decade ago now I look at a calendar... got a good feel for working with what's available (it's relatively limited language, particularly variable-wise), then tried a few scripting languages and now I mostly use Java.


I think it's important to figure out what scale of project you're comfortable working with, it's easy to get out of hand and end up accomplishing nothing because you don't know where to start. OOP helps me with that, but really it depends what you want to do and figuring out how to do it.
