Yep - and the big problem is that learning a computer language does not mean you know how to program. Programming encompasses much more than just writing code. There are disciplines of logic and reasoning, and a healthy dose of psychology required to really be a good programmer and turn out usable products. Learning a syntax should not grant you the ability to advertise yourself as a programmer.

Very well said in your 1000th post. I've known several people who knew programming languages, but couldn't program to save their lives. It takes an intuitive nature, and IMO, it's something that cannot be taught.
