ahh, well i took a look at the code to do a simple thing as create a windows application that shows you the words hello world!

When do you know when you should start taking a look at windows programs?

How long will it take untill you will master the skills to even wright small windows programs?
What skills should you have before you even try?
It just seemed like a lot of things to keep inside your brain.

I know it takes a while but, a year? 2,3,4?
and what is it that keeps you going?

And how do you comme up with ideas about what to do?
tell me about why you are programming!
