As well all know, computer programming is really hard to people who have not gotten any schooling for it. People have dreams about becoming the next Bill Gates by making something really great, like a humane "Windows" operating system. But we also know that studying about computer programming just by reaing books about it, is really, really, dull. If you want to become the next Bill Gates, i suggest that you learn to write peorgrams in qBASIC(QuickBASIC is better, but the language is completelly same) it's really easy to write, and you learn just how the computer thinks. And by thinking, i mean what excuses it gives you when it crashes.
When you DO learn about computer programming, there is virtually no limit for what you can do (Although for best results, use c++ 6.0) as long as you can think of the ways for doing it. For plasma garphics, you must create code that controls the blur efect, that you made in the Photoshop. Then, after the code is complete, it's time to look for bugs (a.k.a. programming errors) that inhabitate the code. After you have gotten rid of the bugs, it's time to compile the progam and put it in the net for the world to see. After that, expect glory if the game/program ruled among the geek kind.
