Thank you for taking part, I called it Lesson 0-warm-up.
It should be better explained what programmers do and how they differ from other IT professions. There are errors in the text, which made it difficult to read. When you asked your lecturer, you changed the question - and this changed the whole meaning of "what is the qualification to be met before one can be a programmer"? This is a completely different question.
No one has answered the main question yet, some have only touched on it. Although the answer is in my text about this contest.
