Tips learning a programming language?

Expand Post »
Hi, im really interested with this 'programming stuff'. I got into it by reading a thread called 'Virus Programming'. (i read all of it )
Do i have to be in uni to learn a programming language like c++ or c or VBN( i read the names of those languages somewhere)? I have no previous experience...just wanted to know if learning langauges and how to write it was possible to do with no tuition or help from others...could i just read forums and find good links? or....should i just not bother till i learn more at school or something

lol....im not 10yr old
Thnx

Re: Tips learning a programming language?

If you like C or C++, look at the recommended books in that forum.
Another compiler: Code::Blocks.

>i just read a thread here that had some interresting talk and people...it was called 'Virus Programming'
I'm sure it was interesting if it's the thread I'm thinking about.

>Do i have to be in uni to learn a programming language
Most certainly not! Anyone with a computer and basic skills using it can learn how to program.

>just wanted to know if learning langauges and how to write it was possible
>to do with no tuition or help from others.
No tuition, yes. No help, that's harder. I learned with very little help, and it's a long, difficult, frustrating path. Fortunately, help can be found for free on forums such as these.

>could i just read forums and find good links?
Yes, though it's highly recommended that you get a good book as well.

>should i just not bother till i learn more at school or something
No! If you're interested in programming, the sooner you start learning the better. Programming is very hard, but it's also very accessible. Most of the best programmers are almost completely self-taught.

I am currently reading http://www.pragsoft.com/books/CppEssentials.pdf and the Help file in Dev-C++. Do i need to learn 'assembly language' before c++? or VB.Net?
