We can't tell someone how to "know" if programming is right for them, but I think we can tell them how to figure it out

| Sep 28, 2012 at 20:54 | comment | added | user | As for what others have said about 3D programming being difficult, I'd like to ask: do you have previous experience in the math involved? Because if you know the math, the code should be little more than syntax. If you don't know the math well, I agree, it's likely that you got thrown in way over your head with the problem domain, never mind the actual programming. | |

| Sep 28, 2012 at 16:42 | comment | added | Rachel | @User66414 Your question has attracted a couple of close votes, so I edited it slightly to focus on the main question you appear to be asking, which I think is a good one for the site. Feel free to rollback the edit if I misunderstood your question :) | |

Rephrased question a bit to focus on the main question being asked to hopefully prevent more close votes

| Sep 28, 2012 at 15:45 | comment | added | iMortalitySX | @FrustratedWithFormsDesigner Yes, Dreamspark includes full professional versions of Visual Studio, not just express. It also has the full developer versions of SQL Server, and the actual Server OS's. Also, if you like some web development, it has Expression Studio that you can D/L. | |
| Sep 28, 2012 at 15:29 | comment | added | stoj | @FrustratedWithFormsDesigner My understaning from looking at the program a couple years ago is that dream spark provides full fledged versions of various MS Products including Visual Studio. | |
| Sep 28, 2012 at 15:09 | comment | added | FrustratedWithFormsDesigner | @iMortalitySX: Are the tools available from DreamSpark different from VS Express Editions? | |

| Sep 28, 2012 at 14:31 | comment | added | iMortalitySX | Are you a student anywhere? Just curious because MS has a site called DreamSpark where you can get Visual Studio, SQL, and most servers for you home computer. This can give you the opportunity to make your own software, for yourself, and try stuff out on your own. Also, MS has a pretty neat training site called Channel 9 that has a few neat projects on it. I only suggest this because if you enjoy programming, then some of these should actually be fun, not work. | |
