"Captain of the cricket team is as good as his team. If the team is not good enough, the captain alone can't do much. The same is C programming. Unless you know the instructions that it offers, you can hardly write a good program."

These are the lines I read in my first programming book during my first year of graduation. Before that, I didn't know what programming was or how to do it. And that was my first step toward programming.
