DO you believe programming is for everyone ?

I wouldn't say programming is for everyone. Like any other skill, a person has to have a genuine interest and desire to learn.

That's not to say that only certain people can learn. Absolutely anyone can learn how to code. Even if you're not planning to be a programmer, learning the basics will give you knowledge and skills that can be applied to many different areas.

I would encourage everyone to give programming a try and if you like it, keep learning and improving.

If a dummy like me can learn, anyone can.
