Programmers need to KISS

An old teacher once asked me why people think programming is so hard.  Being someone who enjoys it, I couldn't give him a good reason.   His reply was simple.   Programming is not hard.  In fact, there are  FOUR  things you need to understand to be a programmer Programs can run commands sequentially (1 line at a time) They can loop through commands (repeat the same code multiple times) They can handle conditional statements (If, Then, Else) They can transfer control And there are only TWO things that can go wrong Syntax Error Logical Error So next time you get stuck on some mind-blowing complex piece of code, just remember...  K eep I t S imple S tupid.
