benatex: Thumbs up to all programmers on NL.Actually,i'm gonna start programming this week buh first i've got questions.These are my questions:

1. What prog. language is best to start with
2. When learning html,css,javascript,are we supposed to cram the codes,you know,the characters u write in d opening tag,the content and d closing tag,how do u guys make them stick to ur brain cos d simplest i can do is bolden,underline,embed a url,cos d tags r short(<b></b>,<u></u> etc)
3. What does 'coding' mean
4.How long does it take to learn html,css,java,javascript,python and php. These r my questions 4 now.

GodMode: your eyes just dey clear abi cos learning how to code will help you till eternity...
Anyway, these answers are my own opinion and not that of every programmer/coder:

1) It depends on your niche(mobile apps, web/internet app, desktop apps) cos there is no best programming language but there are important ones.

2) Yes u are meant to cram them cos If u can memorise them good for you if u can't then there's something called google.
Programmers learn by doing and training so it doesn't seem like they cram but most tags and functions just stays in your memory as you practice(which is also a form of cramming).

3) Ask google.

4) It's until eternity... The founders of the programming languages like to update the languages and add new features so just be updated.

5) It takes at least 2 years to be an intermediate programmer.
An intermediate programmer is a coder that knows most of the syntax off hand with little or no help from google and can breakdown ideas into computer codes without having headache or wasting 2 weeks - 1 month or coming to Nairaland to ask for help.

2. You don't cram it,u master it...Practice makes perfection.

3. Coding simply means 'writing codes'

4. U wan learn html,css,javascript,java,python and php?? u be strong man o ...Just to acquire a wide knowledge of html,css and javascript might span for 2-3months,with more dan a half-score hours of studyin per day,it depends on how serious u are tho...
