perlmeditation kiat Hi Monks<br><br> I hope to gather your opinions on the following:<br><br> 1) Do you need to be good in mathematics in order to program well? In other words, is a solid grounding in mathematics a precondition to being able to program well?<br><br> 2) Are people who have no training in Computer Science disadvantaged in how far they can get in programming?<br><br> 3) Are some programming languages more "friendly" to learners who are not mathematically inclined and who received no formal training in Computer Science?<br><br> I'm very keen to hear what your responses are to the above thoughts.
