I surely that everybody know Steve Jobs. He said that: "Everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer...because it teach you how to think." - Steve Jobs
That is the famous saying of Steve Jobs and all programmers understand it. But for newcomers who do not know anything about programming, how should they understand about computer programming?
- Just understand simple that programming is basically explaining to a computer what you want it to do for you.

- When you're programming, you're teaching possibly the stupidest thing in the universe, a computer, how to do something.
- The first time I actually had something come up and say "Hello world!" I made a computer do that? It was astonishing.
- The programmers of tomorrow are the wizards of the future. You're going to look like you have magic powers compared to everybody else.
- When I finally learned a little bit of programming, that blank wall resolved into a bunch of doors. And you open them and finally you start to open enough doors that the light comes in. And to me, a finished program is like a structure filled with light. All the corners are illuminated and you understand the structure of it. It's a really serene feeling to have completed that.
- I went on the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the United States and there's about a third of the pie that's all the things that you would expect. They're working for the government, they're working in typical technology jobs, but then the rest of the pie - the majority of the pie - just split down into these little tiny slices of every industry imaginable. And what it is, is computers are everywhere! Do you want to work in agriculture? Do you want to work in entertainment? Do you want to work in manufacturing? It's just all over.
- You don't have to be a genius to code. Do you have to be a genius to read? Do you have to be a genius to do math? No.
- Programming is one of the only things in the world that you can do where you can sit down and just make something completely new from scratch-whatever you want.
- I just think you have to start small. That's one of the biggest misconceptions about computer science and programming overall is that you have to learn this big body of information before you can do anything.
- You don't have to be a genius to know how to code. You need to be determined.
- I think if someone had told me that software is really about humanity. That it's really about helping people by using computer technology, it would have changed my outlook a bot earlier.
- Whether you're trying to make a lot of money or whether you just want to change the world, computer programming is an incredibly empowering skill to learn.
- It's really not unlike playing an instrument or playing a sport. It starts out being very intimidating, but you kind of get the hang of it over time.
- The first program I wrote asked things like, "What's your favorite color?" or "How old are you?"
- Now it's just limited by your imagination. And sort of what kinds of ideas, what kind of understanding can you build into a computer to do these things that were previously impossible.
- There's a much greater need in the world for engineers and people who can write code than there will ever be supply. And so we all live these very charmed lives. To get the very best people we try to make the office as awesome as possible.
- To be able to actually come up with an idea and then see it in your hands and then press a button and have it be in millions of people's hands, I think we're the first generation in the world that's really had that kind of experience.
- I think it's amazing. I think it's the closest thing we have to a superpower.
- All great things are built in teams when you collaborate with other smart people. You're testing your ideas, you're stimulating each other, that's what makes us successful. It's not some flash of brilliance from somebody who codes hours a day for 3 weeks. The magic happens when we're all on the same page collaborating and building something together.

- I was obsessed with maps when I was a kid, and cities specifically, so I taught myself how to program. I had a very clear goal of what I wanted to do which was to see a map of the city on my screen and play with it. Put things on the map, move things around the map, see what was happening in the city. How it worked, how it lived, how it breathed.
- The best early thing was actually using software to decide when the classes in my school would meet. And that put me in a position to decide which girls were in my class.
- Addition, subtraction, that's about it.
- We have a fantastic chef. Free food. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Free laundry. Free snacks. Even places to play and video games and scooters. There's all these kind of interesting things around the office.
- Places where people can play or relax, or go to think, or play music, or be creative.
As mentioned above, programming is truly a great job and you are probably interested in programming, right? It not only is interesting work but also your income is stable and can be high if you are good at it. It's sound great. So, why don't we start to learn programming right now?
Wish you success and luck in programming :")
