So I have been taking various programming courses over the past few semesters.
I have taken HTML, Javascript, MySQL and PHP.
So far, the ones that have caught my fancy are HTML and PHP. However, I need MySQL to do PHP... As I'm doing this MySQL course, I just find myself hating it more and more. I don't understand the fun of being a database administrator and overall it makes me admire the people who do it even more. It is just so boring.
When it comes to HTML, it is not the most exciting thing especially when you are fumbling with CSS elements. But since I chose the web developer path, it is just something I have to learn.
Javascript is just nothing to me at the moment. I never really got past the jQuery stage because I was just so happy with the DOM elements it gives me! I got to make very cool interfaces with such simple and clean code. It is awesome. But when it comes to the functions, I just had absolutely no interest in it.
On the side of PHP, the code is just so messy. There are times when I find myself cross-eyed from the messy code and wondering how I came up with all of this madness. However, I like the results it has given me. I hear Ruby On Rails is fun, and as I'm studying it, I like how simple yet sophisticated it is.
If I don't like a programming language, is there something wrong with me? Could there be something that I'm missing? How many programming languages did you guys have to go through before you finally found your niche? I like the whole concept of putting logic together, using both sides of my brain and creating some great, so I'm not giving up being a programmer.
I'm thinking about trying Ruby, but I can't find an accredited course for it in my area to save my life.
