Can anybody become a Programmer/Developer?

[mrhussain0334]

I have been hearing that only people with good logic and minds become a good developer and earn good money. Is that true or false?
I am talking about Game Programmer and Desktop/Web Programmer.

It depends. If you're not born with those skills, you can still achieve them. Programming is more about the way one thinks. And above all else, interest is more important than natural talent. No matter how skilled you are, a time will come when you may lose your motivation. You need to think of programming as a puzzle solving game. You can acquire the skills with experience. So the more you code, the better you get. I don't believe I am very good or quick at it, but it is still my interest. Surely I will take more time than others, but I can still get better with experience.

Anybody can become a programmer if he can

type, read and think normally
spend hours on computers daily
feel good to learn new things in programming
Motivated to accomplish something in programming
Always think about future

You can know if a person can become a programmer or not just by seeing how that person spends his time on his PC and talent is something you can achieve by struggle and experience
