You&amp;#39;re being honest and I guarantee there are a lot of others out there that struggle with programming. They will find comfort in your confusion. I loved your comment in the video that &amp;quot;you&amp;#39;re not a programmer YET&amp;quot;. You have an open mind and a great attitude. If you keep at it, one day it will make sense, I promise. The super cool thing about programming languages is that they are very similar. Once you learn one, the next will be so much easier. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=18492&amp;AppID=109&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Hats Off Fascinator 5: Metaphorical Programming</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/hats-off/b/blog/posts/hats-off-fascinator-5-metaphorical-programming</link><pubDate>Sat, 30 Aug 2014 21:08:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:0d8f5f4e-69d1-4d4a-9d05-54dbf13b442c</guid><dc:creator>DAB</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Very good post.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In just a few minutes of discussion you got right to the heart of Object Oriented Programming (OOP).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The goal of OOP was to keep the domain discussions in terminology natural for the user.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You quickly established your thinking domain and translated it into the application of &amp;quot;programming&amp;quot; steps that enabled you to easily see how to put the pieces together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well Done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DAB&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=18492&amp;AppID=109&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
