The problem I have with programming is knowing the actual code formalities and rules (akin to the grammar and spelling rules of the English language). I usually don't have a problem solving the problem or outlining an algorithm, but when it comes down to actually coding it out and making the code compile without grammar bugs, I run into problems. I can read code just fine (akin to reading a language being easier than writing in a language) but writing it with the correct rules and vocabulary is a whole other issue. I guess I should just do it with a "dictionary" in hand..wish there there were programming translators :)
