Learning programming/modeling

Quote from stevegee58:

Not to burst y'alls bubbles, but it's easier for an experienced engineer/programmer to learn to trade profitably than it is for a trader to learn programming. [/QUOT


No offense but this is probably the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. If brain surgeons, rocket scientists and the best engineers can easily learn trading then why do they spend their lives working for six figure incomes or less when they can easily be out there making 7-8 figures annually.
Anybody who takes up programming can learn it eventually because there are no psychological/emotional barriers to overcome as there is with trading. Most people never overcome these barriers:)
 
I'd start with VB.net or even VB6 if that's all you can get your hands on. Learn it in your spare time. You can apply what you learn to other languages... a year or so down the road you can move up to C#, C++, etc.
