We are all fascinated with the things computers can do nowadays. Right from weather forecasting to animated movies, computers are everywhere. There are lots of programming involved in every computer application which we see in everyday life. Programming can be learnt by anyone and it is not necessary to be a genius for it, of course being a genius helps, but it is not necessary. Anyone with an access to a computer and some spare time can learn the art and science of programming while a diploma or degree in programming can make the process of learning faster and the programmer will be hence treated as a ‘qualified’ one.
