...if you can pass home ec, you can learn programming...
I have to disagree there. If you can follow a recipe, you can make cookies exactly as well as the person at the next station. If you can copy and paste, you can run a program exactly as well as the person at the next computer. But running an identical program is NOT programming, making identical cookies IS baking. If you can find me a job where they want the same program written every day for years, sign me up. I'll return the favor by finding you a place where they want the same burger cooked 1,000 times a day.
Running a program does not make you a programmer any more than making 3 identical trays of snicker-doodles makes you a chef.
