rogramming courses?

Dear /puddi/,

Why or why do so many people fail to learn programming?
Is it because they fail to see programming as calculation of data and instead see a black box that magically does things?

Or is it because they can't grasp the "strict" typing of a programming language?

What is it, /prog/, that makes programming so hard, even the introductory course seems so hard for people, even with languages like LISP or Python, and books like SICP?

And why should we believe in your crazy math axioms
You shouldn't, moron. >>17 wrote: "If A, B and C are accepted as true", what letter of IF do you not understand, motherfucker?

and in programming practice leads to integer overflow.
If you were using a real programming language instead of a glorified FSM you wouldn't have any such problems. Until then you have no business calling yourself a programmer, you're a FSM operator. So shut the fuck up and go back to your FSM.

In practice all "of processes in real life" are finite, so dont require math at all. You can model them with Lisp for that matter.
You don't understand the difference between actual and potential infinities. Shut the fuck up and go back to your FSM, and also back to 0chan.
