I first learned HTML and then went on to PERL and the to ASP and ColdFusion. The amazing thing about this is that when I look back over the past 11 years I realize I have started and stuck with the same career. To me this is huge because I am famous for starting something and loosing interest in it. The reason that I have stuck with programming and have become a self proclaimed "Rock Star Programmer" is that I have control. I am telling the software what to do. I am dictating the conditional logic. I am in control. But once I step away from that I am back to ADD brain and if I don't pay attention I'll be lost. Sound familiar? I don't know your background in computers so I suggest you start with PHP. It's easy to get up and running and the syntax is similar (sort of) to C#/JAVA. It took my wife a few years to accept that I have ADD but there are still days when I have an ADD mishap and she gets upset. When someone says ADD is an excuse it really means they do not fully understand ADD and it worries them to think that there is "something wrong with you".

When someone says ADD is an excuse it really means they do not fully understand ADD and it worries them to think that there is “something wrong with you”.
