Desire is probably the biggest factor in studying how to program a computer. Many people think that you need a college degree or a mathematical background to know computer programming. Although a college degree and a mathematical background can definitely help, they aren’t necessary. Saying you need to know math before figuring out computer programming is like saying you need a college degree in biology before you can reproduce.

Some of the most influential and popular programs in the world were created by people who had no formal training in computer programming or computer science. (Conversely, some of the most intelligent PhD candidates in computer science have done nothing to make this world a better place using their programming skills.)

So, if you have an idea for a program, you can create it. After you have the desire to understand computer programming, you have (almost) everything you need to program a computer.
