Last week I switched majors from Web Development to Computer Help Desk, and I am happy with my choice. The classes seem more interesting then the web classes. Even though I switched because I thought I hated programming, I have been busy learning more JavaScript, starting to learn Ruby, and Python. I guess I really don't hate programming, but I don't like deadlines on them. I really like that I can learn (or try to learn) something, but don't have to complete it if I don't like it. I also like that I can step back for a little bit, and then come back and tackle it.
I got interested in programming after LifeHacker posted an article on how to become a programmer. It talked about how the author, without really any knowledge, made this impressive site with Ruby On Rails. I had heard about RoR before, and it sounded really interesting, so I did some research, and I know know who to create a very basic Rails site. I am now looking into Ruby to better code for Rails.
I also looked into Python, and I'm not that interested in it. It requires very specific sytax, even spacing, and if it's not right, your stuck. I will still be looking into it because I have seen it run some amazing programs.
