In the word of steve jobs "Everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer because it teaches you how to think"

I read an article that says "over the next 10 years, there would be 1.4 million jobs on computer science and only 400,000 graduates would be qualified for those jobs leaving a shortage of a million people."
so how do you start?

Note the following tips that could make you a good programmer
1. Code Everyday
2. Hang out with people who code
3.Dont worry about what to build, Focus on how to build it
4. Contribute to open source.
