The mistake you're making is taking the OP at face value when he says he doesn't feel like he can program. That can actually be a good thing. It could be the Dunning-Kruger effect at work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

Thus, the OP could say that he doesn't know how to program because he's actually pretty good at programming.

Not to nitpick, but the OP, Wendy, is a she.
