Question

I am student of 3rd year software engineering, and I find myself nowhere in field of programming.

I know basics of programming languages like C, C++, Java, Visual Basic, HTML, JAVAScript, CSS and PHP. But every time I sit in front of my computer and start coding in any of the languages, I feel frustrated and distracted and I just shut it down.

I have lost interest in everything and I am worried about my future. I am worst at creating logics.

So can anyone help me or guide me to make me create my interest in programming?

Explanation / Answer

Having reached 3rd year and having learned all these technologies show that you probably have the right IQ skills (this is a crude judgement), so making this assumption, part of your problem may be either:

Physical/psychological issue, this can be determined by tests at the doctor's office. The unbalance of some hormones can exhibit such symptoms.

The bad choice of the problem to solve. Don't sit in front of the computer and start doing whatever. Instead, pick simple tasks that can get you results. Have a goal you can fulfill.

Work with others on a simple project. This may motivate you if you are a social type of person.

If you feel challenged by complex sort logic or the likes, relax, most business applications don't require such level of complexity.

Find a mentor to help you when you are stuck.

If none of the above works, it is not too late to investigate other careers you may want to do. 99%+ on this planet don't code and some have Rolls Royces :). In fact, most of the rich people never coded a single line and will never do that.
