Explanation / Answer

1. The muddiest point while learning a new programming language is that people thinks following points:

a. Programming languages are the 'Language of Computers'.

b. Programming languages are foreign and hard to read as well as understand.

c. Programming languages takes so many years to learn.

2. Even if I discover an older article that has already made the same kinds of connections that I’m seeing now, I still feel like I’m making significant progress, and that I’m looking at things from a new perspective. The discoveries and connections are my own, and the fact that someone else may have noticed them 40 years ago while doing a different kind of project gives me a ready reference and the knowledge that I’m on the right track.

3. I feel my most confident when I accomplish a goal- professionally or personally. So much time and effort is taken when developing out a goal- thinking about it, planning how to achieve it, taking action, and the feeling of accomplishing something you poured so much into is incredible. When my goals are reached, I feel unstoppable. And that’s when I feel the most confident.

4. We feel less confident about things because we buy into the belief that something or someone outside is bigger than us. Only when we feel smaller than something we feel inadequate. This feeling of inadequacy leads to fear and insecurity which finally surface in the form of loss of confidence or lack of self-belief.

5. The purpose of project planning is to identify the scope of the project, estimate the work involved, and create a project schedule. Project planning begins with requirements that define the software to be developed. The project plan is then developed to describe the tasks that will lead to completion. The purpose of project monitoring and control is to keep the team and management up to date on the project's progress. This leads to the development of larger software development project.
