Can anyone be a programmer?

Anyone, it depends on YOU

Let me preface this by saying that I am a firm believer that anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it.  I have learned many skills I never thought would be possible, and I did it just because I believed I could learn it.  And that is the key, believing you can do it.

It will be harder for some

There are some skills that are needed to be an effective programmer.  Not all people inherently have those skills.  You need to be able to think logically and be a problem solver.  The good news is, those are skills that can be learned!

Getting into Business Central as a Programmer

What led me to it, and how did I get into it?

Why do it in the first place?

It goes back a few months or so when I watched a video on YouTube, but I can't remember who it was.  It may have been RealToughCandy or TiffInTech.  Both of those are good channels for beginners to follow.

It was a video on how to make the big bucks as a programmer.  To me, it was a 'duh' moment.  But, the point of the video is, "don't follow the herd".  An example she used was mainframe programmers are still needed, and the handful of them are making bank.  

But, why Microsoft Dynamics 365, Business Central?

I already had a basic understanding of AL Code, the language used for Microsoft Dynamics 365, Business Central, also known as "BC".  I also knew that my understanding of how to actually structure my projects and code was horrendous.  I had to fix that, but how?
