Introduction To Programming

welcome new programmer u know what the first thing you are supposed to do is to Install the compiler on your system,
then try get a book or an e-book but i prefer a handy book so that as you read you practice, most people learn by first reading the fundamentals which helps them to get familiar with the language they are learning, then they mve to the next level of trying out the codes. as u enter the sample codes run them, then try from ur understanding of the syntax, try out your own codes, run them and learn from the bugs/error you encounter. ok
start with that and c what happens.

why not use a hand book? that should be more easier.

WELCOME TO PROGRAMMING  WOWRLD.
i bliv we all have different ways of learning, but i don't think its feasible to teach programming here. but my candid advice is get ur PC install the compiler for whatever language u want to learn.
As for the language to learn. There are good languages around C++,C#,Java, VB 6, .net, PHP,Asp e.t.c  But sincerely it is so easy to to start with VB6. But make sure u get a handy book on it. There are Programming books for Dummies. Please don't get me wrong o o o o o , Its a series called  ", for DUMMIES" e.g  VB6 FOR DUMMIES
They are very easy to learn for starters.

Please don't make d mistake of trying to be a programmer in 1 month, it doesnt happen that way, Its a process ok, start by first reading the text to have a general overview of what PROGRAMMING is all about. The reason is this, there are fundamental issues you need to know, these issues form the building blocks with which you later progam with. If you get it wrong from the outset you will be a poor programmer.

Then as u grow in learning try the following:
1.Also learn by entering sample codes from the text.
2. Learn by thinking of a new project / system write ur own codes, and then enter them, of course you are likely to encounter BUGs staring at you in the face. But learn from the bugs as debugging is another way to learn.
3. Get sample codes, astudy the, understand them, criticise them and then try replicate them, learning from the building blocks,what each routine is meant to achieve.
and then
4. Join forum where you can discuss the problems you encounter. because its easier for people to teach you how to solve certain problems and and implement certain codes.
My dear you are on the journey already.
