If you don't code, it will be very difficult to encourage others to code. Programming isn't difficult because it's hard, it's difficult because you have to solve problems backwards, forwards, inside out, outside in, etc.

If you only want to accept red items, you might say: if it's red, include it. Or if it's not red, exclude it. Or exclude the item by default, include it if it's red. I've done all these, and more, depending on my situations.

Some people "get it" immediately, most people (like me), it took weeks to "get it". Once you get it, you'll never lose it, and programming becomes pretty easy.

It was because it was interactive in 1973 when for any other language you had to turn in your punch cards and wait 4 hours for a "run" of the 360. It was so amazing I got on an APL terminal and skipped other classes. Going to college in Poughkeepsie had its advantages because all of our computer professors came from IBM. Many of them invented the languages we were studying.

I don't usually do my learning through books, but this is definitely worth checking out for the price!

yes I took COBOL , Assembler (with Sharon Tuggle) FORTRAN and APL/360 (with Ivers). There were no books back then except for a book on APL/360 . I'm not sure if anyone ever wrote a book on COBOL

Only 4 hours? That sounds like a real college! Crappy Tulane made us turn in our card deck by 12 to get the results back at 4pm. Then turn in our changes to get the results the next morning. I hated having to go back to campus for that nonsense every afternoon.

That sucks. We had runs every 4 hours from 8 am to 10pm. There were a bunch of us who lived there. I knew two students -one who was a year ahead of me and one in my class who were already making a living as computer consultants for Manny Hanny and Chase banks among other companies before they graduated. One of them was my COBOL teacher because he knew as much as any professor about COBOL. COBOL was the language used for most business programs and he was on the front lines of using it every day.

Check out the Scratch programming tool, it's perfect for beginners to get the hang of programming and it's very visual.

I agree scratch is a good way to start. Once you start using scratch, you can jump over to the MIT2 app inventor for Android phones.

Has anyone read any of those books? Are any worthwhile?

Try qb64. The modern day is Python.

Qb64 helped with many other subjects. Like anything that is text-based. Worst case scenario it helps reinforce ideas from other classes under knowledge redundancy.. only one made a code out of it.
