Things I wish I had known when I started programming

I wrote a series with some tips and other things I wish I'd known when I started programming, and I thought it might be useful for someone so I'll post them here.

The series has 8 articles right now, navigating to them it's easy from the one linked on the top. I really hope this helps someone, even if it's a little bit.

Thanks.

I wish my parents had known that when I was writing code on the computer as a kid, it wasn't just 'playing games' and that it would result in a great career.
