I have been studying, programming, and playing with computers since May 2009. The more I learn, the more I am struck by how much I still don't know, how much remains to be discovered. The realization is both daunting and exciting, and it's the most wonderful feeling in the world.

It is certainly one of the very best I have had in a very long time!

I well remember sitting in front of my first-ever computer almost afraid to even turn it on, and then came the fear of pressing a key ... and then ... and then ... and now I still cannot ever get enough!

I remember when we learnt how to write programs for the econometric software to perform statistical tests for non-linear economic models. It was my share of hell. I don´t know why I enroled for that course. Later when I learnt VB and VBA and it was ok.

I get that feeling every time i have to learn a new programming language. But it passes in a few days.
