I wouldn't expect a programmer to walk in off the street and try to do
graphic design without having any concept of graphic design. I wouldn't
expect a mechanic to walk into the kitchen and expect to build a
souffle. I wouldn't expect a gardner to walk in and perform brain
surgery. And I wouldn't expect an artist to walk in and start writing code.
If somebody wants to learn how to code, then 'learn' how to do code. Read
tutorials, read manuals, etc...
