The first post for #learningcode

I work at a college as the computer lab assistant of the library. While I consider myself to be above average in computer skill, I feel like my job is not very challenging. Answering questions all day about how to print a document and how to setup the formatting is no more a challenge then getting dressed in the morning. Therefore in my free time I do what I love: coding. Writing software makes you think, it is not an easy process that one can just memorize an answer to.

Coding is a skill. While anyone can do it, those who are more technically included and who are excellent problem solvers are more likely to succeed. I consider myself to be creative in my means, and detailed in my results. Debugging is a major part of programming, as is the user interaction.

Though my work in High School, to my many attempts to create a successful program that user want to use, I have learned a lot. Because of this, I have decided to start this blog, to help others with the theories of programming, and the aspects that cannot be forgot.

As a lab assistant, I see many aspiring programmers struggle with some of the most basic of programming ideas. It is my goal to help with the basics, so please feel free to ask any questions that you may have.
