Where do I start with Programming

[PC_Noob]

Hi I know NOTHING AT ALL about programming and was wondering where do I even begin? I'd love some advice.

[KaareKanin]

Programming for dummies (i'm sure something like that exists)

Don't expect it to be easy.

 

What are you wanting to program?

What are you wanting to program?

I don't even know. Maybe a website. I really had nothing in mind I just want to start to learn about it.  I just wanted some place to begin. At the very least a place to start learning the terminology.

W3 schools is a good place to start or Udacity if you like interactive videos. What are you looking to do?

If your school has computer science its the best place to start. Thats where i learned some html

Computer science books/classes and I recommend starting with python, it is relatively easy and widely used, you can make 2d games, 3d games, guis, and just basic text stuff too with it, it is a great place to start.

Start by checking some tutorials online and trying to do them and then when you finished them do your own changes to see the effects

OK firstly this thought of question is getting asked every few days, so I'm going to presume you haven't seen them, but next time I would recommend looking it up first.

 

Anyway I would recommend Python as a base, its a relative easy language to understand and once you get into it you can do a lot with it. I would recommend the following guide, I learned Python from it myself with no previous experience in programming at all. It gives you all the basics and if there is ever anything else you need for a program it probably already exists! You can look it up or failing that I have found http://docs.python.org in the past very helpful. Anyway here's the guide!

If you do decide to learn Python and ever need any help drop me a pm and I'll try and help!

 

Good luck with programming!

figure out what you really wanna do and start researching. whether its games you are looking to program; software, websites. Its all you. good luck

Here is the book that my lecturer wrote. It will teach you the general information about programming languages (including the object oriented languages), but this book will cover mainly java. However you should be able to apply your knowledge from this book to learning other languages. (I was pretty much like you, no knowledge on programming. But I managed to learn java using this book and am currently learning C).
