Before 1999, I heard about computer. But, I don't know what it look like. TV? Maybe!
Before 2001, I only saw it in book. It looks like a TV.
Before 2005, I touched it in reality. It still looks like a TV + Black Box.
In 2005, I entered university. I had a cource about Mathematica.I loved programming since then.
In 2006, I owned a computer. I was coding C every day.
if...else..., for..., while..., switch... entered my life.
Since 2007, I have learned Data Structures, Algorithms...Then, C#, Java, Python, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, F#... A lot of languages. I'm still learning new lang.
Unfortunately, I only know syntax! I'm always a novice(??)!
I know some guru start programming at age of 8 or 12.
I admire these gurus who are compiler writers, language designers, architecture designers, Linux hackers...
Is it possible to become a guru like me.
If possible, how? what should I do now?
Any advice?
Thank you very much.
