    Default computer programming?

    hi. i am 15 from uk in year11 high school

    please read

    i am really kind of sad right now, i dont know what i am and what i will become in my lifetime but what ive always been into is computers and technology.

    i am not dumb but not smart, i think i could of bin in the top sets if i really tried but ive blown that now, im coming to the last year of high school and i know i am going to get bad grades, but just enough to get in to a good college

    i am scared if i dont get a good job in my life, i don't want to be a slacker but i dont have enough motivation to do anything

    i have heard about computer programming, but ive also heard it takes a lot of good grades and intelligence, does anyone know if i can pick it up in college, ive tried learning a bit about simple c++ and html but not for long, as well as source development kit.

    to get a good career does anyone know what i could do in college, maths has always been my favourite subject but i wont even get a good grade, most likely a C but i might be able to pull off a B

    i know this is random but i cant be bothered to register on an other forum or yahoo answers after being banned twice, i am too curious to know, its starting to make me depressed knowing that i have f'ed up my life from birth, as my farther and siblings are so much more intelligent that me

    please tell me anything you know or tips what i should be doing as a 15 year old boy in his last year of high school, with no good gcse's

    If you were to get into coding, make sure instead of actually just learning the terminology of the language, actually LEARN the structure and WHY things are placed in areas, what functions do what, and practice a lot.

    You can find a lot of helpful information about computer programming, web design, and coding itself at CodingForums (just google.)

    This is just my opinion (from a coder himself) and I do reccomend you do get into computer programming, because It's a very nice skill to have (it's easy to find a job in computer programming, I've had several)

    Well, from my oppinion, programming is quite hard to pick up and takes alot of time and effort, but it can be really rewarding, but, as with all proffesions, skills and so on, you should have fast time learning it if you like it. I am not programmer by myself, but if youre good at logic funtions, gates, fast at calculating alot of stacked if/else statements and able to predict consequences at hight frequency you should be good at programming, just dont burnout while learning. Also you really shouldnt worry about your future at that age, atleast not so much.

    P.S. I forgot what I was going to write about in middle of comment, so it may be possible to locate some logic mistakes there, but thats what you get when thinking about several things at once.
