What is Ready. Set. Hack.?
Welcome to my little corner of cyberspace. This blog is dedicated to my attempts to learn programming.
There are a few reasons I want to learn how to program. I'd like to know how to program for a hobby, as I have a bunch of ideas for web apps (and mobile apps) that I'd like to hack together. My goal is to understand enough programming to create a complex gallery for my site using the Flickr API. I also do a bit of QA as part of my job, and I know I'd be a lot more useful with at least a basic amount of programming knowledge under my belt. Finally, I'm considering returning to graduate school for HCI / UI at some point down the road, and to do this, I need to know how to program.
I learn best by trial and error, so this blog is here to document my journey to learn how to program, starting Jan 1, 2009. Call it a new years resolution if you must, but I will learn how to program by2010 2011 :).
Those of you with more experience, feel free to chime in with feedback, and your opinions on which language(s) I should learn, and what books I should buy / sites I should look at to further my education.
