I thought most people learn some form of programming back in school?
I am a mechanical engineer by profession, & I have learned Pascal (did anyone even know this), C++, Unrealscript, MELScript (Maya), Visual basic, also Assembly language, even machine language, because thats the only language that the CNC machine can understand. Granted, a few of tehse ain’t learned in school.
You haven’t seen anything until you seen machine language!
Honestly, I think its far harder for a programmer to pick up art skill, than an artist to pick up programming skill.
When you think about it, Blueprint is programming language, a mix of C++ & Unrealscript. I think many non progarmmers; i.e artists, engineers etc do not like programing language not due to hating working withlogic, but rather the syntax, the lack of visual clue, & personally for me, to memorise functions, & remember variables names.
