Things that you need.
I’m not the best at school, in maths, sciences or whatever but I’m good with computers. If you want to act in this domain, you will need this:
- Logic. If you want to resolve a problem you’ll need it definitly.
- Ambitions and motivations. When you want to start your own buisness with a website, When you have to do a programm, when you have to work for a project, motivation is very important. In informatic, one thing is always a constant: learning. You will always learn something. You will probably learn more than at school. Then you need motivation for learning. You need to want it, want to do.
- Computers = pleasure. If it’s not, close your computer and do not come back on. A work on your computer has to be a pleasure. If it’s not, why do it? With the pleasure, you’ll be fast, happy, the result of your work will be better. In general, it comes with motivation.
- (Not too important but it helps a lot)Maths. Computers were made with a lot of maths. All is maths. Databases, binary, programming langages are good exemples. If you think with maths, you’ll do a very good work!
- Simple things are complex in. Things that appear with simplicity are complex in their core. Do you think this blog is simple (due to HTML)? No it’s not. Google isn’t simple. Its appearance is simple but not the core (I’ll make a post about it). So, you will probably do something that you think is simple (due to its appearance) but can be not…
These points aren’t in order. Do not forget: Knowledge is power. More you know about something better you are (and respect from others comes). This is a (little) list of advices that can be useful for you:
- Think three times about your action. Why creating this directory? Why do I want this system? Why? Why? Why? It can be bored, but it helps if you want to keep your foot on the earth. Things walk better when you’re in confiance.
- A thing for a thing, and just one. Douglas McIlroy said it, “Write programs that do one thing and do it well.”
- A clean code is a clean view on the result.
Sometimes I’ll edit this post for add some points. I hope it will help you, I hope it will help people who starts in this wonderful domain.
