Try doing simple stuff with programming for a weekend and see how you like it.<p>If you don&#x27;t like it, well, it&#x27;s just 1 weekend. If you do like it, could be worth trying more. If you aren&#x27;t sure, could be worth trying more.<p>You don&#x27;t need to take a class to learn to program. I&#x27;ve heard it said that really, all programmers are self taught, even if they do take a class.<p>Programming is basically putting things together, or feeding things into each other.<p>&quot;Programming is like any other profession where you spend hours looking into a box cursing yourself for not thinking more like a machine.&quot;-swiftonsecurity<p>A word of advice though: Don&#x27;t think you can make the next facebook as your first project.<p>However, try it out. It really doesn&#x27;t require that much time investment to try it, and it certainly doesn&#x27;t require much monetary investment (you don&#x27;t have to pay anything except for the electricity you are already paying for for your computer).<p>Just try it, there&#x27;s very little cost.
