Q: How hard is it to learn a Programming Language
   
A: Learning a programming language is just like learning a foreign language like ->

•  French
•  Spanish
•  Russian

     These are prime examples, they have a set of new words and letters you must learn. They all so have new rules of where and when you can use words. When you are learning a programing language like Python there will be new rules. All though it will not be as foreign like Russian (The letters will be the same as English.) you will have to be able to re-learn new meanings to new words.

Q: Where do you start to learn programming?

A: There are many places you can go too to learn Programming but the way I learned was by going to CodeCademy. CodeCademy was my number one go-to site for a while.

Q: How hard was it to learn a programming language?

A: The first language I learned was Java. Some people would say it is the language you should learn because its used the most now but for me, I didn't like it. I had been studying the language fir a solid year and a half. learning the new commands after every month or so. My programs would all ways be using out of date code. Finally a friend came to me and said that I should try python. Its way more easier and uses down to level English. Definitely simpler than Java

Q: Why would you want to learn a programming language?

A: There is many different ways I could answer this. But the one that comes to mind first is that YOU live and use technology. Most schools in america have a computer. I guess that the first question that came to my mind when I used a computer was. How does it do this? Then I had been using a windows computer (Mixed Feelings...) I had a computer at home so when I got home I went to the computer and did a whiles research. After that I wanted to know where I could learn the languages the computers run on. Learning these languages helps me understand how to control the computer. it gives you access to different programs and allows you to make your own programs like:

• Calendars
• Calculators 
• Websites

     And if you get good at multiple languages like C/C++, Python and Java you can even make your own OS (Operating System) Like Linux, Macintosh and Windows. The truth is that every thing you use on your computer (Even the web browser your using to visit this site on) is made from code.

Q: What do I need to start learning?

A: All you need is a Computer to see this site on, a pen and pad.
     ** Note that I am using a Linux OS which means that if you are running Mac or Windows some of the commands I use in the Terminal will be different in yours.
