Hey guys,

How to learn basic programming? In fact, I have tried to understand prgramming from the very beginning but never able to write program. Please give me a very basic suggestion.

It happens most of the time that you would be able to understand the code and you will even know how it works but the worst part is that it will be hard to write the code by yourself right. so its better to choose the other options may be programming is not for you, there must be another big opportunity waiting for you.

How to Learn Programming

The 3 steps to learn programming are:

1. Decide why you want to learn
2. Choose a programming language
3. Decide how you are going to learn

Decide why you want to learn

You first need to decide whether you are serious about learning programming and want a job in programming or if you just want to program for a hobby. This will help you choose a programming language and choose the way you are going to learn.

Choose a programming language

Once you have a reason for learning programming you can choose a programming language. If you are serious about programming then you should start off with a language like C because it is a popular language for both learning and business use and there are many C tutorials, books and resources available. C is difficult to learn but you will get the benefits of learning it later on. You should focus on just one language while learning the basics of programming. It is better to know 1 language very well than to know a little about many. If you have an in depth knowledge of just 1 language then it is much easier to learn other languages.

Alternatives to C:

• C# - A new and popular language that is based on C but has a lot more features and is much easier to use
• Pascal - A very popular learning language that is easier to use than C
• C++ - Based on C but includes advanced features. It is better to learn C before C++
• Java - Java is becoming a popular business and learning language. Doesn't teach you some important concepts that C/C++ does

If you are learning programming as a hobby then you should choose a programming language like Visual Basic because it is easy to use and you can start making useful programs straight away.

Alternatives to Visual Basic:

• Delphi - Delphi is a little bit more difficult than Visual Basic but teaches other important programming concepts
• Scripting Languages(Python, Perl) - Easier to program in than compiled languages but not always as useful

Decide how you are going to learn

People who are serious about programming should think about taking a course at a college or university. You will find it easier to put the effort into learning when you have to pay for it. They also teach you everything you need to know so that you don't miss out on anything.

If you are programming for fun then you should get yourself a book or find some tutorials on the Internet.

Comments

You will find that programming is difficult at first but becomes easier later. You should try not to quit if you think it is too difficult for you because most programmers once thought it was difficult but have no problems today. Learning how to program is very rewarding and is worth all the hard work. Good Luck!

Thanks, I am worried that in my further education, definitely, I have to write program, pretty sure, so I am little bit nevous now and trying to understand programming. In fact, I have been through programming many times in my education but I just survived every time. Now, I have to learn something.

we are one the same boat dude

Ma pani ahilae oracle ko coding lekhi ra thiyae kasto hang lagi sakyo ho namilera....

lol...even me suffering the same fate..... :(

I can't imagine oracle, it is too far me (almost impossible), I want something in FORTRAN or C+.

Practice your butt off...
