Learning to Program

in #healing7 years ago (edited)

"Programming" is one of the words used to describe the abuse I experienced in the aftermath that has always made me feel crazy.  I know the rationale for this, and it makes sense to me.  Nevertheless, it totally irks me every time I hear it.  I am not a robot after all.

As a result, learning to program the way healthy, honest people do for a living is something I would have never thought was possible for me.  Whenever I would hear about the subject, I just get super defensive, which creates a mental wall that prevents me from hearing what anyone has to say.

Although, when I was 19, I read the Bible cover-to-cover for the first time. Of the many verses that stood out to me was Romans 8:28.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

I have a somewhat stubborn belief that this verse applies to everything, including the way I respond to the subject of programming.  God can works this together for good too.

So I have been learning to program for about two years now because of this.  I have been exposed to various web development languages.  I have worked with Java a little bit.

I am going to start learning some Python next.  Who knows, I might become a great programmer one day, which would be incredibly ironic.

I'm glad to hear you're focusing on the positive.

Programming is perfect for someone whose an outsider like me.
