#2That's not how you learn programming.
Re: How to Become a Programmer - wikiHow
#3This is generally a pretty bad article. Learn databases, then decide whether or not you ever need to know databases? Moreover, databases are put on the same fundamental level as logic?
Also, placing "learn paradigms" at a time before the student knows any language is going to be useless rote memorization that the student will have no idea how to implement when the time comes.
Why does the article start off extremely specific and then just dump into "3. then learn programming"?
Finally, the categories of programmers aren't really an accurate reflection of the software industry. You will have to span multiple of those groups, and you'll never be dedicated to any one of them.

#4I don't know many people that aren't going to be put off programming by that 1/2 to 1 year preparation on only theory.
A redeeming part of that page is that for each programming career, there is a decent list of useful pointers.

Norvig's Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years is what I normally recommend people read if they really want to learn how to program.
