    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.
