Interesting discussion. My answer would have been the classic one: work on a tiny sw project of your own choosing, totally not related to work and on something that you find really cool. Then, start a bigger one.
That being said, I think his attitude of "If I can get hooked on programming like I am on gaming, I'll be in heaven" is totally wrong. You should know that there are other things in life. Read the classics. Fall in/make love. Learn how to make something with simple tools. Volunteer. Repeat.
- Volscio 16y agoI agree. Have always had difficulty just "learning" programming languages. But when I try to make small web apps using scripting languages, I've had far more fun...I'm just going to learn the tricks needed, but none of the really advanced stuff.
