I have always wanted to become a programmer but didn't have the finance to go for course in an IT school, but one day I went to a friends place and saw an e-book in his computer,I copied it and read the whole 495 pages. From that day hence forth I have not stop reading and that's how I ended up becoming a developer. Today I have written thousands of lines of code and contributed to various IT platforms. unfortunately my friend whom I got my first e-book from can't write a single line of code, not even a "Hello World" program.
