Well, let me be frank. I would tell you a tale that happened with me. In my first year at college, I was asked to write a program for a simple calculator in C. And I opened the command prompt on windows XP, typed in "calc" and showed to the professor. This was because I had no idea what programming is when I came in first year of college. Cause, out here at my school, I only saw people work with Word and Powerpoint. And Excel (without functions) .
What I want to say is, it all depend on how much interest do you have. The school cannot be really blamed cause we learnt so many things that school didnt teach us. Then why not programming? My lack of knowledge was all due to my ignorance and nothing else.
