Re: I feel like giving up on programming altogether!

actually, most programs above the very basic beginner modules don't work the first time around 

and as the others have said, debugging is always long and frustrating.
in fact my instructor said I could expect to spend one third my total time programming, and two thirds debugging 

keep your cool and you can do it!

Hi Jess,
You are not alone. Many beginners (from what I heard) express this concern. 
We the students and programmers were beginners at one time and have
experienced errors before. Getting errors is a normal process in programming - not all programs work the first time they are compiled. So, as Tyler said, keep working on it and let us know code and style - so more people can help 
you.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi all,
All I get when using visual studio are nothing but errors! I just want to be 
able to write a program and have it work! Just once! But no. All I get are
errors! So what's the use in even trying? Encouragement needed badly!
Thanks.
Jes
