Can programming skills be taught to just about anybody? (contd)

This is what Professor Sadagopan says in response to my earlier post:


While I agree to a large extent, I do differ on one count. For some reason there is too much emphasis given to "logical thinking" (left brain) than "creative thinking" (right brain). Some of the best programs (MS Excel, Apple Mac OS, Adobe Illustrator) are created not always by those very good in "logical thinking" but those well versed in "beauty" (interface, interaction, aesthetics). So my conclusion ANY PERSON CAN MASTER PROGRAMMING if (s)he wants to master it!
