The much love I had for computers and hacking could always make me miss some classes such that I can spend some time in computer laboratory doing some research.

Learning programming isn’t an easy task. Leave aside the level of difficulty, choosing a right programming language that suits one’s need is a tough job. But, if you have a good idea of what you’re trying to learn, this job gets easier.

It means you are going to self teach yourself the other percentage if you really want to be good.
