learning python the hard way

learning C the hard way

learning ruby the hard way.

 

that's actually the book titles.

there are also websites dedicated to teaching programming

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

I've always wanted to learn how to code, but I'm having trouble really getting into it, if you know what I mean. What are the best tutorials/guides for an absolute beginner like me?

follow your topic.

c or C++ it will be hard, but it will help you understand so much. then other languages will be easier.

That all depends on what you want to achieve and what platform you are targeting.

Are there any other good tutorials for C/C++ for beginners?

Codecademy is a great website for absolute beginners who want to program. I would suggest learning Python.

You can also learn Python with this free book that can be downloaded as a pdf.

I have used both of these resources, and they are excellent. Python is a great language for complete beginners.

Thanks, but I want to learn C first. Any suggestions on that or should I just learn Python first?

come on ... really?

this question has been now asked about 21.324 times ... in this forum alone.

if you can't even look up those threads, you probably shouldn't even start to try programming.

C has a very steep learning curve. It will be pretty difficult for a complete beginner programmer to learn C. It would also take WAY longer to master the C language. Python is much easier to learn and wouldn't take nearly as long to master. Also, many of the things you will learn by learning Python will be applicable to other programming languages (but C is the same way).

Honestly, buy a book. It's more consistent and easy to follow than some random websites online.

 

Programming can be difficult to teach yourself, especially without motivation. A college class will push you to learn, unless you don't care about hardly passing, or failing entirely.

Programming is dumb. If you want to "learn how to code", give up now.

 

If you want to actually do something that requires you know how to code, you'll get a lot farther.

if you want a easy pz start you can start with javascript it's really easy to learn you'll not be able to do awsome thing in it but you can do some useful things . if you're more hardcore go for c or c++ as you'll be able to do more with it and it will help you understand more

the problem with class is that people are usually not really good and not really hardworking so if you're good you'll get bored really quickly. Book are the best way I think the only problem is that you cannot ask the book question www. The absolute best way is to have a friend that know how to code and who is willing to teach you. Also private teacher is a good way to but yeah not free.
