This advice is true, but not actionable.

"but not actionable."

Why not? OP can start with a resource like codeacademy or other similar online resources. The best way to learn is to do it. Yes mistakes will be made. But then again, the best way to learn is by learning from mistakes.

yeah,that is a great advice- but how i know the professional programmers way in writing code- i mean if you learning from them face to face you will find yourself writing nice code without even notice- it will be very easy, but learning programming alone is very difficult- how we make it easier and more natural? i think code-academy is good but it stuck with baby steps= i am talking about being ninja

There is no Royal Road to programming. You have to put in the time. Ninjas put in a lot of time.
