To learn anything, you are first introduced to the basics and then you can combine the basics to perform more complex tasks. Walking, talking, reading, counting, programming, etc. How many really basic things do engineers, scientists, mathematicians, physicists, and everyone else have to do dominate in order to perform any task? These animals are amazing.
