Programming is hard. The only folks who say otherwise are the ones who have years of coding experience under their belts. It’s okay to be overwhelmed! There’s a lot to learn and you’ll probably forget things as quickly as you learn them.

Excellent advice-programming is hard. I've learned (and not learned ) a few programming languages ranging from COBOL to HTML5, and the best way to learn is to create something important to you with your new programming language. FYI: Programming isn't for everybody, but understanding the basic concepts is very good to know.
