Programming languages are a way for you to express your thoughts about how to perform a specific task. As such, the programming language you start out with will inherently influence how you think about a particular problem. This influence is usually called the programming language's paradigm.

When I thought about programming language, I always remind PHP because PHP is a very simple language to develop a website with higher functionality compare to any other language. Its an opensource language so its very good to develop a cost efficient website with help of CMS like Magneto, Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla.

Couldn't agree more. I remember when I decided to become a programmer (just before the internet boom :rolleyes

- immerse yourself in the programmer's environment - best way is to decide on what language path you want to start in, and dive in to the tutorials.

Get some quick wins under your belt - actually build some things - definitely don't just do theory first - I would recommend you become a pragmatic programmer. This way you'll be able to keep up with the continual changing of frameworks, languages, etc..

I'm biased, but I think the most organised and flexible languages/frameworks to learn is ASP.NET C#. If you focus on MVC3 you will get good experience in HTML and jQuery as well - then taking on most other languages like PHP and ruby will be much easier to pickup quickly.

And it's a good resource for me when i forget HTML, CSS attributes. Good place to learn HTML, CSS, imo those are the 2 languages you should learn first even though they are not "programming languages". Youtube is also good for that.

If you already know HTML and CSS and are looking to move on to web based languages like PHP and Javascript, AJAX etc. then w3schools is great.

If you want to move on to Operating System languages like C, C++, Java, C#, D, J# etc. then I suggest buy a good (current) book. $60-$100. For each language you want to learn.

C++ is not commonly used for creating websites. (It can be used to write CGI programs, but that's a rather specific subset of the things you'd need to do on a website). The best way for learning programming languages is w3schools.com

If you want to become a programmer then it will take a lot of time and effort. First of all try to decide what you want to program, For example website apps or maybe iPhone apps.

Then see which language suites what you want to do the best.

My advice is to learn Python, its an easy to learn and powerful object oriented programming language. However first try learning about the proccess of programming this will make the rest of the learning proccess make a bit more sense.

Good luck

I suggest that you pick a small project, and learn as you go. This is by far the best way to learn. Sure, you will definitely encounter obstacles, but you'll find that the most learning you'll get is when you make mistakes and have to figure it out. Also, google and stackoverflow.com will become your best friends in no time!

I suggest you decide first what programming language you want to learn as there are lots of them with different styles of coding. And find an editor for it as well. I'd suggest for your first time coding, use the one without auto complete features. There's nothing like hard coding to really learn and understand how the language works.

w3schools as said above has tutorials on the basics of many programming language. Maybe you can browse the site, try out the programming languages and see what you like.

I personally prefer CodeCademy - I've been taking a course there recently to learn jQuery (it's just one of those languages I never got around to learning). It is extremely easy and intuitive to learn languages on the site, and is far better than W3Schools.

IMO, W3Schools should be avoided at all costs - it only will teach you to be sloppy.

The best approach would be to learn HTML and purchase Dream Weaver. Why? Because there is a symbiotic relationship between writing some code and then deploying it i.e. you immediately get to see the fruits of your labor. The same cannot be said of many other software languages without really having an understanding of what the error messages mean.
Once you're comfortable writing code and feel that this is a viable route to take, sign up for a training class with a quality institution, be it a college or a training company, and you're on your way.

With all-due respect, I'd like to know why Dreamweaver has to be mentioned. It is, for all it's worth, a disgrace to the web design world. Creating SEO havoc, messy code, and a terrible lack for actual coding skills, Dreamweaver is by far the worst editor for HTML there is. Nothing compares to the good ol' Notepad++ editing (or, if you really are feeling adventurous, Notepad). It allows you to actually take joy in your coding and feel like you've accomplished something. Most of the time, WYSIWYG editors like DreamWeaver aren't really WYSIWYG across the board.

I mentioned Dreamweaver because it's a viable tool. Staring at a blank Notepad may work for those of us with experience, but not necessarily for someone new to the field. We want to encourage others instead of overwhelm them.

My general advice is that WYSIWYG HTML editing is a BAD idea, ESPECIALLY if you don't know HTML, because if you don't know what's going on under the hood it can get out of hand really quickly.

Lots of professionals use Dreamweaver in "code view". It actually does a pretty good job, though it has a limited number of languages it can deal with. It's not what I would think of as a "programmers editor", though it handles PHP, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS very well. It also handles ASP classic, and is one of the only Coldfusion editors (yuck). Personally, I need a lot more than just the first four, and have no need for the latter two, so it won't work for me. If you're starting out, it's fine, though I don't recommend the WYSIWYG mode for anything other than cursory examination of your pages.

w3schools.com is nice, but it's not very intuitive. Think of it as more of an index of information.

If you are serious about programming and want to get a solid base and understanding of fundamentals, look at codeacademy.com. It's interactive, tracks your progress, and also free.

It is not only about learning to program. Once you have done that you want to land your first job. That is the hardest part. If you have nothing to show most people would not believe that you can deliver good work and give the job to somebody else.

One way to get over that hurdle might be to write some software for a person or a company you know, for free. That might open other doors.

I suggest you first decide what kind of project you want to develop.
It will lead you directly to which programming language or languages you might need to learn.

Example.
If you want to write WP plugins, you should start by learning just some basics on HTML, and then learn PHP quite well.
Depending of the nature of your project and as complexity increases, you should learn some more, like jQuery and java.

I personally started learning online. It's plenty of good tutorials available online that made it so easy for beginners.

Just Google "visual tutorial" + PHP

Do find a tutorial you like, follow it -not simple read it, but do it yourself.
It's not hard at all.

Hope it helps :-)

4. Check php.net and quote google "how to ..." if have any questions.

PS. the tutorials on SUN errr Oracles website are fantastic for learning java... But it is one of the ugliest languages ever invented.

It was originally created for washing machines and microwaves and since then has become so much worse.

Seriously though, trying to program any sort of GUI in Java is painful to get it to bend the way you want. Especially when you compare it to something like QT by Nokia, a free library extension for C++. QT is a breeze and works on almost every mobile phone, Windows, Mac, Linux and every flavor of OS in between.

The mistake most beginners make is that they tend to read. To learn to program, you need to do it - just follow examples and try to run the code to see the output. Programming can not be learnt by reading it live a novel.

Good luck.

Well friend, it is not impossible to learn programming but if you don't have any prior knowledge of any programming language you will face some hassle to learn. So better idea is to start with some basic concept of C++. check this url >>> http://www.prlog.org/12063250-wayfai...any-order.html

When learning to code, structure is super important. Without it, its very easy to become overwhelmed.

I recommend the following:

Paid:
TutsPlus - https://tutsplus.com/
Lynda - Software training online-tutorials for Adobe, Microsoft, Apple & more

Free:
CodeAcademy - Learn to code | Codecademy
NetTuts - Web development tutorials, from beginner to advanced | Nettuts+
Smashing Magazine - Smashing Magazine
W3Schools - W3Schools Online Web Tutorials <-- I use this most for references.

I wouldn't recommend going to many others to learn. Whoever or however you chose to learn, keep your learning experience simple. Otherwise, you'll be overwhelmed.

===========================================

If you're looking to get into web programming, download all the major browsers.

Firefox - Mozilla Firefox Web Browser
Google Chrome - http://google.com/chrome
Opera - Opera browser | Faster & safer internet | Free download
Internet Explorer - Internet Explorer - Microsoft Windows
Safari - Apple - Safari - Browse the web in smarter, more powerful ways.

===========================================

Be sure to check out the documentation for the actual languages or frameworks from the original sites.

I think you should begin with C -> C++ then PHP for web programming
if want to learn PHP you should begin from php.net and read PHP manual (find CHM version to read easily)

Thanks
