To be a good programmer is difficult and noble. The hardest part of making real a collective vision of a software project is dealing with one’s co-workers and customers. Writing computer programs is important and takes great intelligence and skill. But it is really child's play compared to everything else that a good programmer must do to make a software system that succeeds for both the customer and myriad colleagues for whom she is partially responsible. In this post I attempt to summarize as concisely as possible those things that I wish someone had explained to me when I started developing interest in developing programs.

I have being programming since my school days. I remember writing small programs in BASIC(for those how don’t know BASIC is ) and LOGO(it was a meant to draw different geometrical shapes using commands) . But actually later I came to know LOGO was more than that. I remember very interesting thing about LOGO, the cursor which we see now a days in LOGO there used to be a triangle which was called as “Turtle”. Anyways even in those days that programs would seem more difficult. I read an interesting article about programmers which I would like to share…

The following may not have any remedies if you still suffer from them after taking a programming course in school, so you will stand a better chance of advancing your career by choosing another profession.

Alternative careers
1. Electrician
2. Plumber
3. Architect
4. Civil engineer

LOL.. so all "wanna be" programmers would now have decided an Alternative careers. So in my upcomming post i am going to start a "How to" guide for programmers right from debugging a code to performance fix and lots more...
