As somebody who has just reached the point where he can program small things 
without having to reach for the book more than once every ten minutes, I can 
say with great certainty: Yes, if you keep at it, it will get easier up to 
the point where you have problems understanding what your problems were. I 
remember banging my head against the wall because I didn't understand how the 
index system worked with splicing - you know, the stuff on page six - and now 
I find myself doing the indicis without thinking. Scary in a way, but 
satisfying. 

Remember, you probably used to think multiplication was hard, too, and now you 
just /know/ that 12 times 3 is 42 ...er...

Y, Scot
