Basic Concept of Computer Programming

Thinking is the base of Programming

Hi! Dear Friends, Every body wants to become a computer programmer, but remember one thing, there is only one attribute that can make you a good programmer that is your attitude "One of my very good Friend told me that 'Without attitude you can become the president of United States of America, but with attitude you cannot become a Programmer'", so guys please first of all clear it in your mind, this is not a subject or book that you will read and become a programmer, Only one thing you need the attitude of mathematics, if you want to solve a problem in mathematics you don't read it you have to solve it and you have to practice it more and more and if you want to become a successful programmer, you have to follow the Rule PPP means Practice, Practice, and Practice.
