i got the degree in computer science

what I wanted was to learn to create programs

what I got was how to be a corporate cog in a c++ machine

what I found is TCL .. the command language . tcl (programming language) with tk (gui toolkit for tcl) you have an entire programming enviroment in which to realize your dreams. it doesn't try do everything, but provide you with the building blocks to do your own thing.

script programming is appropriate for a majority of the programming tasks.. aside from graphically intense games

in the end I agree with anman tho.. programming and writing are not the same

the majority of the time when I am programming i spend my time figuring out how to do a thing.. and putting 'blocks' together of things I already know work but want them in a specific way that is unique to each programs needs..

and much of the time.. i am feel i see my best code when I understand how the underlying commands I am using work.. so reading and remembering how things link together .. is a large part of programming.

memory. you must be able to remember things.. to commit ideas that must be remember to memory and recall them.

so discernment is the key element, to notice the important bits.. and in many ways you only come to know the important bits.. because you see them all the time.
