I assume you mean web (as opposed to desktop) programming?

Other than the obvious "Google it" response the standard answer is W3 Schools:

W3Schools Online Web Tutorials

W3 Schools is a website, you don't have to download anything!

W3Schools.com is probably, well in my opinion, your best bet. I learned html/css and php and can tell you firsthand it is pretty much the authority on the web as far as free web programming tutorials goes.


Good luck and stick with it,

Hi there,

It is great to learn programming online, But you will face lot of challenge while learning it online. Because you won't get proper guidelines. so it will be better to take some help from senior or from your friends.

Thanks,

I think the best is learning from books, it will save you a lot of time.

There are books about every programming topic, from html to "real" programming.

mywebwork

Agreed - having a mentor or teacher can often be advantageous and can cut the learning time drastically. Perhaps there is a class available in your area.

There are some great programming books, but as to it being a "better" method I disagree. Different people learn better through different modalities, books and online lessons are just two different ones. Both have advantages and disadvantages, however with programming (any language) there is a real need to perform "hands on" learning. Using a book require you to take the incentive to run the example code yourself - with online courses like W3 Schools you have the advantage of a live application that lets you experiment with code samples in real time.

Another thing about books is the importance of checking the publishing date - a book on PHP programming (for example) published in 2004 would be outdated when used with the latest release of the language. Online applications like W3 Schools will always update their code examples to the latest version of the language.

In short there are a number of methods to learn a programming language. What is the "best" method really depends upon the individual, and upon any previous experience they may have had programming. A beginner will need instruction on the fundamentals of coding and programming logic, a more seasoned individual will just need the basic command syntax. Everyone is unique.

To the OP - you haven't come back to comment on this thread yet! Perhaps you could tell us what language you are interested in learning?

Thanks for the info. It never occurred to me that this would be offered free.

I think I am very late to answer your question as one of our friend has already answered your question correctly, please follow @mywebwork

Thanks.

What programming language you exactly want to learn? There are couple of sites for different platforms and each has their positive point. Till the point I dont get your language which you want to learn, its best to go to W3C Schools and get some of the basic concepts there. Search for W3C Schools and you will find it easily.

Best way to learn, spend 10 hours in one day reading a book in the area you are learning, do all the examples.

Spend another day on another book if necessary for what you are trying to do

Once you feel you have enough background knowledge, just start coding and building your app/site

Use reference material along the way

Keep building sites - and you will gain from experience

This is the best way from my experience, and I program and deliver results faster than anyone I've ever met. (Although I only do it for my own business).

I'm trying to dive right into python. I bought "Developing Modular Rigging Systems with Python" from 3dbuzz.com. I've started the videos but didn't get very far. So now I'm back tracking to figure what I need to know to get my Rigging System running.

I got the development tools and I'll start doing some tutorials.

Whether is Python, C++, Java, .NET or PHP, you should always look at examples on the web. Books will confuse you more if you have never programmed before.

W3 is the best in my opinion, great comprehensive tutorials and it's online so you can study this anywhere u have internet access. Text books can be outdated, class rooms are costly, W3 is the most efficient way in my opinion to get started.

Through many tutorial of C++, Java u can learn about programming in web links...

You're going to be B-O-R-E-D if you just learn from books.

Get behind an idea that you'd like to see through to the end (an application idea) and figure out how to make it happen.

You'll need to use tutorials, books, and all that to get there, but don't just go through books or tutorials to learn the concepts... It won't stick.

Hello Radip201:

There are free, downloadable audio/video courses available from Apple's "iTunes U". If you learn the basics elsewhere, you may find these university courses useful.

(Install the free iTunes software from apple.com. You can download to your PC.)

It is hard when you will only depend from online resources. Try to get a tutor to teach you about programming languages.

adriennbelly

Personally, I would say Smalltalk. Using it you can learn the basic concepts of object-oriented programming and writing pretty cool programs without taking on unnecessary things like headers / libraries, etc. From there you will be able to continue the C + + / Java / C # / yourname IT.

Some programming applications with strong Web presence and good materials for beginners are game programming, Web site creation, automation of common tasks ("scripting"), text processing, and scientific problem solving. If you just think programming would be cool to learn and don't have any specific applications in mind, that's okay, but thinking about what you want to program in advance will help you make informed decisions during your learning experience.

How come no one added templates and you can get some from
dynamicdrive.com they have step by step on how to add
scripts function menu so if you get a template you like study the code
and you can do a lot. I like PHP and turn the static into a dynamic page
like:
header.php
content.php
menu.php
footer.php
you can use html inside but if you are using php you have to keep the it .PHP
not .HTML

Best regards

Lots of good suggestions here.

Also try and join forums or user groups online dedicated to whatever programming language you decide to learn. Maybe even see if you can find a buddy or too and arrange to work together over a period. WIll balance just learning from books and online resources. And maybe allow you to deepen that experience by discussion with others. Even going through some of it together.

All the best

For programming you only need. If you see a code just copy it and try to execute it. change the code change every single line and you will be a programmer

For web application, no doubt the best reference site for beginner is w3chools.com. But if you are looking for those programming language like .net framework (vb.net, c#) or java, i would prefer codeproject.com and planetsourcecode.com. There are tons of sample codes that you can copy and learn from beginner level up to advanced stage.

Another good websites for intermediate and advance level is java2s.com

First to think which language you want to learn than read this language tutorial and done practical work daily because practice makes man perfect.Take online project and try to complete it.

There's no better place to learn to program than on the internet. If you can see this forum, you should be able to use a search engine. Run a search for example "PHP Tutorial" and work your way from there. There are millions of online tutorials, and most of them have their own forums.

So, posting there would be a good idea.
Good luck

Coding can be difficult without any exposure or experience. It can be so foreign and make you feel dumb as a stump.

But knowledge is golden.

W3 is a great resource. Start at the beginning if you want to learn. Trial and error is a good teacher too.

To your success.

Yes, it is possible to learn programming language online. Just search on Google or W3School is best site for learning.

Hello Radip201:

I came across the following site over the weekend: OCW Consortium .

"OCW" means open courseware. The site is for universities and colleges around the world to list the courses they have made publicly available.

For example, here is a page listing the computer science courses available from the King Fahd University of Petroleum amd Minerals: KFUPM Open Courseware :: Information & Computer Science .

The first course is "Introduction to Programming". There are 13 courses available.

(MIT is the most well-known university that has its courses online for free. The MIT site is: Free Online Course Materials | Courses | MIT OpenCourseWare .)

Yes it is very possible, indeed.
One of my favorite is lynda.com

I would like to mention, while learning programming is easy on the internet through various sites and tutorials that the code in these tutorials is usually not meant for live use and security protection is usually left out.

There are tons of great tutorials out there, just be very careful what you run live.
Always read through the comments, a professional programmer will usually point out all of the security holes in the tutorials code.

I don't think there is one way to learn how to program - Some people find the university route is best for them as they manage to get everything down on paper and store it - I personally however found the best way to learn any programming language is to start of looking at other peoples scripts, adapting them and taking in what does what - I still to this day often find myself looking at php documentation when something does not work how I would expect - but that is all part of the constant requirement to keep up learning throughout the year. You've never 'learnt'

Grockkit . com is good site for learning programing online but i believe the best way to learn anything is to have a study plan which allows you to use your time more efficiently as if you have children and work.

If learning .NET, my favorite is literally Home: The Official Microsoft ASP.NET Site. And for any MS programming in general (SQL Server,C#,VB,ASP,etc), MSDN Forums is pretty awesome. It's a forum like this that's filled with experts ready and willing to help you with great responses.

Otherwise, I agree with everyone saying that w3schools is great.

Good Luck!

Any books from the publisher O'Reilly.

if you've ever read one of the "for dummies" series of books and hated it, then O'Reilly is excellent. Clear, concise information that doesn't treat you like your a moron for wanting to learn something new.

Uhm... I learnt programming at University with Java (not javascript). For anyone who wants to learn programming I suggest to begin with boolean algebra, then start to learn variables, arrays, cycling and everything using a good C-based language (Java is a good choice).
For web development I use php, it was very easy to learn knowing Java. Also, I can find almost any solution to any problems just googleing

I too follow that site. It is really helpful.

W3school!! it's really a nice portal to learn for new language..

Hello,

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

Thanks!!

I just jumped right in, put in long hours building/marketing my own stuff, coupled with W3 and Wiki referencing, lol.

Depends. The site php.org has resources and examples. Try "learning php" in google. I am sure many tranning classes will be listed. Also a local book store should have a selection of programming in php books.

yes, definately you can. Google is your friend and so as the ppl here at warrior. also you can try w3school (google it).

unknowncat

these are all great replies. i agree strongly w jet2k , buy a book for beginners, spend a while reading it, try out the examples, then dive right in and start writing scripts. use tutorials and learn as you go. i'm self taught php coder for almost ten years now, feel like i've become pretty skilled just by building sites and learning new skills as clients ask for specific things. thing about web development is that there's so many specific skills that once you get the basics down you can code your heart out and pick up the specifics as you go along. like Henry Ford said 'scoop up the knowledge as you go'

also i'd like to vouch for lynda.com great site.
