Thanks Denise for that link.

 Currently, my focus in on learning how to program and getting a general
understanding of what computer science is. Are you a programmer? if so ,
what kind of programming do you do? How did you pick it up? and how long
did it take you to become a good programmer to get a job.

Thanks,
Zeeshan
