How do you study programming?

Answer 1

There are amny tutorials on the web to do this. I would first look at what I wanted to concentrate on. Do you want to program for the web? games? business? be a hacker?. There are a lot of opportunities out there if one is willing to work. PHP and XML besides a good basis in C++ are good nowadays. Get yourself a good Linux distro like Ubuntu 7.04 or Fedora 7 and start playing around with shells and that will get you into the real programming world. Forget about windoze that old hack will soon wear out. The future is in Linux. Don't just take my word for it. My brother works for IBM (and has been a programmer for over 40 years, goes back to the days of punched cards, if anybody remembers that) and he says the same thing.

Answer 2

Practice, practice, and more practice.

Oh, and did I say practice.

OK. Besides practice, you need to read the book and do the exercises. Oops, there's that bad word again - practice, i.e. work.

Answer 3

You don't, unless you are writing or design that computer language.

If just for programming skills, knowledge sharing the key. You can learn new tricks, gain deeper understanding, and of course those No-Nos from your peer programmers. Learning mistakes (and thus avoid them) is the fundamental survival skill. But you also need to spend time to try-and-error by yourself, then share your findings and experiences. SHARE means bi-directional, not single directional

Answer 4

You need to take programming courses. You can register for a paid course in your community, or you might take free programming courses, at least to get started and to see what it it all about. You can find some courses at W3Schools; these are very basic and won't take you very far. You'll also find some more advanced courses in several places; one option is Udacity, where you can take the courses for free (or pay, for a more formal course including college credits).

Answer 5

No matter your age or experience, a plethora of tools are available to get you started or to help you refine your programming chops.

Answer 6

You can use a block-based coding platform like scratch which will help you develop computational logic, you can check out this YouTube channel at pheth'code for tutorials to get you started.

Answer 7

The only way to learn programming, is by programming. Preferably for somewhere between 5 and 15 years, and paying attention meanwhile.

Answer 8

I do not plan to improve your programming skills.

Answer 9

First learn the basics. Like binary math, looping, basic database, and other basic areas of study.

Then select a language that you want to learn and learn the syntax.

Answer 10

You must find some important project for you. This encompasses what computers do and how they are constructed.
