mikrizz: The first sign that you are interested in learning programming is having a laptop. Don't ask me how you are going to get one. 2 Likes |

Try codeacademy as well https://www.codecademy.com/ . It will walk you through the basics using their online platform and if you pay for the premium subscription you get access to projects and help from advisors. and if you are really serious about a career and also funding you can subscribe to Udacity's nanodegree program with affiliates with Google. It's 200 bucks a month not sure of the naira equivalent though. I have used both platforms my self. For starters, I will suggest starting with Python - though you will need to have the Python interpreter installed if you are using windows PC - Personally I think programmers should be using a MacOS or Linux ( Just my personal preference though). Java is also a good starting point as it has a broad range of frame work use - Javascript, AngularJS, NodeJS in short Web app Dev , Android App Dev even Arduino board for Smart Home Technologies. Starting with C or C++ can a pose a challenge as you have to worry about garbage collection as well as ridiculously infuriating syntax - missing colons can drive you nuts. Plus C operates at a low level. Regardless of what you choose they all have similar underlying concepts ranging from functions, classes, conditional statements etc. so if you master one of the language all you will need to know when switching to a different language is just looking up the syntax of carrying out a function in that language. Rule of Thumb: When you learn a language keep using it else you the skills. 2 Likes 1 Share |

conyema12: It is not about the time frame but how much "continuous" hours you put into it practicing it. The time frame to become competent would vary depending on previous programming experience, love for the language (It can get really annoying sometimes when you can't seem to figure what is going on) and time put into it I work with an oil and Gas firm - Husky Energy and frankly most of the engineers don't use programming knowledge of the likes of C++. It is those of us in the IS department who write the programs and they just use it. If you want to learn a program, in your case I will suggest focusing VBA. It is a particularly useful language to improve efficiency. |

Check out my first android app I built after getting motivation from this thread....The download link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=orinameh.com.inspirator...your feed-back will be highly valued.. Finally, the best way to learn anything(programming inclusive) is to start by doing. Don't be afraid of errors(bugs), get your hands dirty and be patient...Although, u will need internet and a PC too

hi dear cisco and programming is fun, cisco is into two parts CCNA and CCNP, CCNA gives you knowledge about networks, switch configuration, routers, frame relay, WAN and CCNP gives knowledge about implementing EIGRP based solutions, multi-area OSPF network, an IPV4 and IPV6, VLAN based solution. programming is designing web pages, offline-online, designing computer applications. if you are a technical person like me I would refer to CISCO. call 07039167218 for details binarykid: |

Math Tutor Purpose This assignment is designed to help students in using C++ to perform basic calculations. Students will also gain experience with generating randon numbers. Problem Statement Write a program that can be used as a math tutor for a young student. The program should display two random numbers between 1 and 9 to be added, subtracted, multimplied, and divided, such as 3 * 9 = After the student has entered an answer and pressed the [Enter] key, the program should display the correct answer so the student can see if his or her answer is correct. Sample Output 3 + 9 = 12 That's Correct 3 - 9 = 6 Sorry, That's not correct, the correct answer is -6 3 X 9 = 27 That's Correct 3 / 9 = 0.333 Sorry, That's not correct, the correct answer is 0. My Ogas I need some ideas on how to write the syntax |

Guys Check this challenge out Program Specification All the integers beginning with 1 are written down in succession. what digit is in the Xth place; Write a program that allows me to input a position and it outputs what digit is in that place of the succession. Also the program should output how many numbers had to be created in order to get the position. Note: Xth position will not be longer than 2000 This program is a school challenge, How do I go about the syntax ? |
Re: I Want To Learn Programming. Which Language Should I Start With? by sinequanon: 6:36pm On Feb 18, 2016 |
exxy: It doesn't make sense. Somebody is mixing up the words "digit" and "integer". Also, "numbers created" doesn't make any sense. Do they mean, "how many numbers had to be tested?" Not all methods will involve directly testing numbers. It is a very badly formulated question (not the first I have noticed in assignments posted on this forum). |
