Ahck.. that's pretty lame.. I learned that stuff in grade 3. I made web pages out of HTML in grade 4. About last year I learned a lot of C++, and I even made a 3D game.
It's tedious on paper, but it's hard to remember how you thought it would work out. If it's just a simple program, it's fine, but something huge, it gets hard. And you have to erase everything manually. AND you don't have the program helping you with syntax. Bleh. :P
