Hard time learning programming?

[Primzi]

Hey there,

Because I know that many people have (had) problems with acquiring the programming logic/mindset, I am planning a product which will make the learning process of programming more intuitive and interactive.

Because I want the product to solve problems, I would like to know a few things from your personal experience:

-Which concepts did you have problems with when you first started programming (pointers in C, arrays in Java, classes/objects, sessions in .NET...)
-why do you think you had these problems? what was missing? what would you need for the concepts to become easier?
-which type of learning is the most intuitive and effective for you (visualizations, video explanations, interactive applets, real life applications/examples, metaphores...)?

Thank you in advance for your time!
