How to start down the path of the programmer?
![](https://images.pexels.com/photos/32229/pexels-photo.jpg?w=940&h=650&auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb)

## One does not simply become a programmer.
The journey is long and hard. It's not for everyone. There are many prerequisites you would need in turn to become a proficient software developer. Most important of all is to have grit. No amount of talent can replace hard-headedness and raw willpower of getting to the goal you set for yourself. In the end, nothing else matters. Achieving your personal goals is what we all strive for.

However, you need to want it, you need to want **to learn**. Programming is a constant state of learning new technologies, practices, style guides and languages. Damn, I've been working as a software developer for two years, and every step of the way was a path of learning new things in order to finish my work! Hell, I'm currently in the process of learning MongoDB as it's a work requirement. Now you're wondering why I'm even telling you all this. It's simple. If you want to become a programmer, you need to be a nerd. Don't get me wrong here. What I view as a nerd does not match the stereotypical view of nerds in Hollywood. A nerd for me is a constant learner, someone who never stands still, always looking for new ways to improve upon himself/herself. Be a nerd! There is nothing wrong or embarrassing with being a nerd. I'm a nerd, and I'm freaking proud.

## Now, when I've grabbed your attention...
I want to help you. I want to take you on a journey. Join me on the path to becoming a programmer. Of course, only if you have the grit needed to follow along. You need to want it.

I'll take that you are interested if you've read this far down the article. I'm glad you did.
Let's jump right into the belly of the beast. Here's a roadmap of what you need to reach your goal.

#### Intro to Programming
You need to pick one programming language to build your core understanding about programming in general. The core concepts of programming are pretty much universal for all programming languages. If you will be following my tutorials, I'll be using **JavaScript**, as I believe it's the most beginner friendly language out there. Additionally, JavaScript is the future, as many believe, all web applications that haven't been written in JavaScript will one day be written in JavaScript.

#### Algorithm Scripting
When you have understood the core concepts of programming and your language of choice it's time to put it to use. This part of your learning has less to do with the syntax of programming you will learn in the section above, and much, much more about logical thinking and problem-solving. A programming language is only a tool, it's still your brain that needs to be trained to solve problems. The brain is a muscle as any other, if you do not give it proper exercise, you will never prevail.

#### Start building stuff!
Start building immediately, it does not matter how little experience you have. Nothing compares to the actual creation of something productive. The experience one gains from building a concrete application with a set purpose is exponentially greater than only hacking away on some predefined examples and tutorials.

#### Learn about general software engineering
The language you write code in is only a small part of being a software developer. The big picture is, in all it's magnificent glory, massive. Too massive to even try to explain in one sitting. I even tried to explain this to a friend, long story short, after 2 hours of me talking like crazy, he couldn't wait to go home. 

However, it's not that hard to partition into bite sized chunks.
- What are servers?
- What are clients?
- What's a database?
-  What does the concept *front end* mean?
- What does the concept *back end* mean?
- How does one link the front-end to the back-end?

#### That's it!
Well not really. It's a rough estimate of what one would need to start down the path towards enlightenment, on the journey of learning how to write code.

## That's more than enough for today.
Hope you liked my rough roadmap of what it takes to be a programmer. All of what I write are my own experiences, many of which are rough as I have had to fight my way through this journey. Being a self-taught developer has shown me the beauty of open-source and the spirit of helping others. Hence, why I teach people how to code. Hope you guys join me on this journey. I'll be writing stuff regularly, for all experience levels, from beginner to advanced.

Dude, I'm working full time as a dev, and part-time as an educator, and from times to times, I still feel like I know nothing. It's perfectly normal to feel like that when you step outside your comfort zone. The only thing you need to do is to get used to constantly having to learn new things.

Congrats! I was already working as a dev when I stumbled upon freeCodeCamp. It was eye-opening to say the least. It has made me step up my programming game significantly.

I think the best motivation is working on cracking a particular problem in your code. And for that to happen, just start with coding.

Every journey starts with taking the first step. Do or do not, there is no try.

That is the very best definition of nerd that I've ever heard--Thanks for this informative post.  I am interested in learning more---

I've started on FreeCodeCamp just recently. Finished the first project before exams and the seemingly bottomless ability of my mind to distract itself...well...distracted me XS

I'm planning on restarting tonight. Gonna work on the JS lessons and make a sketch of the Portfolio project and how it'll be designed.

Awesome! Good for you. Pushing yourself will always result in progress.  Feel free to shoot me a message if you get stuck. And most important of all, have fun. Happy coding. :)

Thanks :)

I might try to teach myself how to use the steem API at some point. Got an idea that some people seem to like, about creating a program that allows us to see the time most user's in different timezones are most active (or most active time for different tags, too) and making it an API that can be used by the draft systems for Steemit to allow perfect scheduling according to when the most people are active on Steemit in your timezone/main tag.

What do you think ? For the moment I've just played with the idea a bit, talking about it in the comment section of 2-3 posts when something reminded me of it, but it's beginning to stick in my brain now XS

I started with assembly language 54 years ago, retired now. I agree with most of your points. An interest in details and problem solving are key. My best advice when you can't figure out what to do, divide the problem into two pieces. One will be simpler to understand, and easier to do.

Exactly! Damn, 54 years. I don't have to say anything more. I should be listening to you. You are my father's age. I'm really glad you liked the article. Hope to hear more about your stories about programming back in the day.

My programming skills were completely self taught. I attended 2 years of college and dozen or so employer provided training. I learned the hard way that if you look over a program and have trouble figuring out what it does, then there are not enough comments.
