Finding a Passion in Programming

Too Long; Didn't Read

I am fairly new to programming. I understand that my skills are far from proficient and that I need to improve them. When I was advised to take a Python programming course from Coursera, I thought this the perfect opportunity to improve as a programmer. I set myself the goal of learning every bit of the course, top to bottom. I did not want to have even one topic that I did not understand. Though this meant watching and rewatching all of the lectures, documenting every specific method the instructor used, it proved to be worth doing.
