Quite like the idea of making something do what I want!

Thats it in a nutshel. Instead of a static webpage you can make it come alive.. Have one piece of data you can reuse in different areas.. Have total control ..thats programming...
I ahve been doing it for years..Games is making things come alive.. I cant draw to save my life but worked with artists who would present me with the graphics and I would progam away and bring them to life..
Now designers present me with a website and an idea of what they want to happen.. Shop, secure area.. logins or whatever they want... I then set about making it work.
If me and your son went for a job.., your son or any of his mates doing the same course would get the job because he will have qualifications.. I like many others already out there are self taught.... Personally I left school at 14 and couldnt even read and write proper.. still cant write

Qualifications..that bit of paper means a lot..
I know 8 programming languages that rely on exact syntax.. not a comma out of place... yet I still ahvent mastered the english language... spooky eh
fortunatly though I ahve been at this ten years and have enough contacts and probably enough work to keep me going another ten years anyway
Anyway....I didnt want to do this.. I wanted...Wanted... I wanted to be.... A Lumberjack!
Oh I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK ..I work all night and I slee.... Whoops slipping into monty python mode again
