Most people normally have an engineering / science degree before they go for developing software. There are non-engineering and non-accredited institutions also which claims to teach programming but in my experience they do a poor job.
Having said that, everone can be a programmer and can even train himself. The typical qualities of a good programmer are:
- Attention to details
- Eye for perfection; perfection takes time, effort and perseverance
- Lots of patience
- Open mind and continuously learning
- Devote lots of time to the profession
I learned programming during my undergrad at IIT. I have seen a architect who was only Class / Standard 8 pass.
First you need to focus on the fundamentals of computers before you can delve into programming. Understanding of boolean logic is required and a good understanding of basic mathematics. After that you can just try your hand using a simple language like PHP to wet your hands in the land of programming.
What are your suggestions for James?
