Hey, /prog/, what is a good book to learn programming? To learn how to think like a Programmer? I already tried learning programming C and Python, and while I do well it keep getting hard 'till I don't know how to solve the projects some books have.
You don't try to learn programming; you just learn it automatically. That's how I did. Never read programming books or took any programming classes either. Just googling random shit on the internet. I started when I was like 10 by learning how webpages work by looking at the source code, learning HTML and then JavaScript. Later I realized C++ had similar syntax to JavaScript, so I learned C++. I learned the Windows APIs by making random toy programs. Later I learned asm by playing around with CreateRemoteThread injections and trying to make memory-resident viruses for fun. Now I am 20 and remember most Windows APIs without needing to look at MSDN, as well as a bunch of useless bullshit that probably won't make the bitches wet. Not that I care.
Regrets? None, because I never made any actual effort. The conclusion I have made is: goals suck and you don't need them to live. Nature has no goal and yet it has evolved all sorts of creatures with abilities that don't even matter in the end, because everything dies.
