Thanks to all for the replies. They are much appreciated. I will try to read each and every book suggested here, when I can. Money is tight these days lol
I have a question about that. And its "Do you think this will happen"? My theory is, that eventually, there won't be any programmers. Not as we know them today, and not as they have been since the beginning. That finally, what will happen is that a program will be written, that can listen to english and translate that into machine code. So for example you'd say something like "Program, I want you to write me a new program that will run this machine I have here. And it will include these functions."
And you'd go on and on, explaining how everything was going to work and what it was going to do. And this program would translate that into another program that it would send to this new machine. And it would all work. Maybe it would have to test its code, but I think you get the idea. No more typing out the code, only saying what you want, and in plain english. Do you think that this will happen one day? And be complete, no need for coding the old way anymore.
