How do I get motivated to practice programming?

[symbolipoint]

These are good signs. I always found great satisfaction in that. You would be amazed at how often people are continuing to do repetitive tasks by hand instead of automating them with scripts. But those same people might not appreciate what you do, so it can be frustrating on the job.

You can say that again.

Part of the quote from Eclair_de_XII

I write (whatever) on my (whichever) to help me automate layman's tasks.

I have designed some programs. I can say that they have been helpful to me. But as for whether or not they can be considered helpful to others, I cannot say.[/code]
You therefore should already understand, "How do I get motivated to practice programming?" You ARE MOTIVATED, or at least you are motivated at various times.

Motivation for practice creating a program may be as simple as automating a computation (Arithmetic or algebraic) from one or two formulas. User gives a bit of input to a program chooses to let program perform function, and program reports or displays result.

This posting is working wrongly. The quoting is done wrong as result. OUTSIDE the quote must be THIS:
