Programming means telling a computer what to do, such that it does what you tell it. You can do this. One of the reasons there are a ka-jillion frameworks popping up is that programmers know how to program, but not what to program. My advice is to learn something you find meaningful, and use computer programming to help people do that - in my case, this was the open source curve and surface fitting web site zunzun.com - I had to learn curve and surface fitting first, and then after having proficiency at that I was able to program the core fitting library and web site code.
