The Goal

· One min read

Welcome to the Becoming a Programmer website.

The goal of this website is to properly answer the quation, "How do I become a programmer?"

If you Google this question, you may get answers like:

  • pick a programming language
  • do some courses
  • write some small apps
  • apply for a job

These types of answers are so full of gaps that they are technically useless. For example:

  • what language should I pick?
  • why that one?
  • what type of apps should I write?
  • why those types?

It is clear that when you start out, you have not enough knowledge to make any of the above decisions. Thus you have a problem, and we will discuss that problem in the next post.
