I tend to not have the patience to go through programming tutorials,
because I think they're boring. I sometimes use them as reference to see
or recall how something is done, but I don't step through them in order
to learn a language.
Rather, I write programs to learn programming and languages. It's easier
if you have some background in programming in some other language.
I merely pick personal projects that interest me and then try to develop
them to finish. I seek resources that help me do what I need to.
I think it's easier to be motivated in actual projects that interest
you, rather than programming assignments.

So I have completed up to CodeAcademy's Python Unit 2 , now moving on
to Unit3 : Conditionals and Control Flow.
But I feel my motivation wavering , at times I get stuck and
frustrated when trying to learn a new programming language ?
This might not be a technical question per say, but it is a Python
programming related one. How do you motivate a person (either yourself
or your child) to become more interested in programming and stick with
it ? Is determination in learning (especially in a tough field like
software) partly genetic ?
