My programming way of getting rich

I remember very well that the year was 1999, I was 21 years old and needed to support my family and raise me up to 3 months old daughter. At the time I was working on a job for people with disabilities, with a salary of $8.75 an hour, and I was studying photography at a university. At that time I was really going to be driven crazy by the money, and after I worked hard for 6 months, I finally got a raise, more than 0.5 dollars an hour. I realized that this is not going to work.

My father is a PHP programmer and he has been encouraging me to learn programming, but I have devoted my time to computer games. Alas, there have been so many opportunities in front of me, I did not cherish, now sincerely is a regret.

And now I am the pillar of the family, in the heart has the responsibility, only then know oneself then wrong how outrageous, made now I can not find a good job. I want to eat expensive organic food for my baby daughter, I want my family to have a house of my own, but I understand that if I stay in this job like a dead end, my thoughts are wishful thinking. So, I bought the Power Mac G4 and a 21-inch monitor with my saved money, a total of $1600, which was definitely a terrible expense at the time, and I thought my tuition would be $3400 a year. My job required me to work late, so my huge computer dragged me to work late, and my client had already fallen asleep.

Ugo Nakamura is a well-known digital artist and the first interactive design expert, from whom I have access to flash technology. To my amazement, the first product I've done with flash allows users to combine music, video, and code. Although the ActionScript 1 script had only the most basic functionality, it helped me with the development of the product. Although the site is still in its infancy, it is on the right track.

I study at Yugo P, Joshua Davis, Todd Purgason and so on every night, and I learn to understand how they are designed to be programmed. In those nights when there was no stack overflow or bug that made me mad, I was motivated by the ability to create beautiful visual interactions, which was far more interesting than a boring website. It's all about me. I have found a secret that keeps me learning and persevering.

But in the meantime, I still need to work at night, making it hard for me to see my baby girl in the daytime. It's so unbearable. So I swear that my income this year must be doubled to do, or else I am sorry I have nowhere to put the Father Love (laughter). I've always remembered to pay the bills. I sold my beloved Fender 1969 Bassman electric guitar speaker, it is really a penny puzzle hero Han Ah!

Three months later, I had the first website client and the opportunity to practice in OM sites Web design studio. Om Sites Web design studio is mainly for the local pot dealer service. The customers came from all directions, but at that time I was able to talk about business independently, and the salary was $10 an hour. I was formally hired three months later, and the salary rose to $20 an hour. At this time I have been able to independently for the local enterprises to complete a complete design. I don't know if I can do it well, but I'm doing my best. Gradually, some of my work began to enter the field of vision, Todd Purgason also praise my design, for Olympia Film Festival produced the page even got a nomination award.

At the Seattle conference in the fall of 2000, I met my Bole, a vice president of engineering at a new company named Headsprout. Then I moved my little home to Seattle, earning $40 an hour, which I was 22 years old. With just a little more than a year, I changed my life completely, and it was all about learning the code. Not only did I finish my vows, I doubled my pay, even the excess, and I doubled my salary. And I have laid the foundation for my future success, is to learn the code to light up my way forward. $80,000 a year now doesn't sound like much, but if you add inflation, it's 109,776.07 dollars.

What is the point of this story?

--Don't look for excuses not to learn programming. Otherwise you see me, I was in my poor time to learn, but also need to feed my family of 3, that time I was 21 years old, all kinds of pressure difficulties, long story. So never be lazy!

--The school will not teach you how to work hard, only if you really enter the society, you understand the importance of hard work.

--A huge project looks like an impossible task, but you can break it down into a single part, step-by-step. For example, when I first went to make a website that looked like a fantasy, I split my work into making a button, editing an animation, completing a video, and finishing the "impossible task" bit by bit. As the saying goes, the journey begins with a step by step, always reaching the destination.

--Learning the code is not just about writing code so simple, it's an abstract logical thinking. Learning code is a skill, like other skills, that allows you to program, but not just programming.

In all these years, almost every entrepreneur complained that their technology was out of control, and that they needed to find a technical partner for the code. This is a really bad excuse. We have a lot of available tools at hand, like Stack OverFlow, Treehouse,codeacademy, and so on, so you can take care of your first Rails,web or iphone app in one months time. Working one months to change your career in the future, it sounds great, as if a picture of a dream began to unfold in front of us. However, if you want to find a satisfactory technical partnership will definitely take more than one months, this I dare to pack a ticket.

Even if you don't want to be a full-time programmer, learning the code has a positive impact on hiring and managing people in the future. What's it like to be in hell, you know, when you were writing the code, the server crashed and the database couldn't connect? You need a good programmer, but you don't know if he's qualified? However, if you know the basics, these problems are solved.

If someone says he is too busy to die, what he really means is that his work is really a TM of dog poop.
