Re: How Did You Learn How To Program?

Before Last Year, i have never programmed any language in my life (except for HTML in 5th grade). There was a kid starting a robotics team at my school, and i thought it would be cool to sign up and build some robots. I signed up and there was no one to program the robot. I played around with LV a little bit, and a little bit more, until i logged about 100 hours of LV. After that, i learned C++, VB and Java. But as i have learned, you are NEVER done learning how to program, every time you drag that box, or write that next line of code, there is always much much more to learn, or at least, a different way to code what you just coded.
