What do you need to be a programmer?
Expert in mathematics?
Hmm… not really. Not all mathematics lesson should be known. No need to master Integral or imaginary. But there are a few lesson you should master them. They are logics, binary, hexadecimal.
Know all programming languages?
Not all programming languages. The important thing is know the basic programming technique.
Choose a favourite or populer programming language, then memorize all syntax?
Are you crazy..? No need to do that!
Know all features of a programming language?Menguasai seluruh fitur sebuah bahasa pemrograman?
Ooops… can you do it?t
So, what do we need???
- Know algorithm (step-by-step in finishing a problem)
- Know logics, such as “AND”, “OR”, “NOT”
- Know binary and hexadecimal
- Desire to learn programming
- Trial and Error
- Carefulness
- Talent. Some people say that to be a programmer, you need talent. But I say, our talent will be sharp along with our practice in programming, although we make a simple application only.
PS:
I write them based on my experience to be a programmer. Some points might be in contradiction to your experience.

I agree with point number 5 and 7 Mr. Dani gunawan tell us, trial and error and also talent must be had by all programmer. the important thing we have to know is “sharing our experince and searching more information”.
good luck bang dani….

I agree with all these points but for graphics programming, I think we should be expert in mathematics and physics. Please let know your opinion.

Hmm ic.. I read about ActionScript and MaxScript a few years ago. And yes, I remember that I read about angle calculation etc. Btw, do we need Integral in graphic programming?
Thanks for your opition.
