Start with Visual Basic. Its not commonly used these days but it will give you more insight into how programming really works. Then move onto java. The best way to improve in programming is to practice. Think of a solution and try implement on your own ... you will learn faster. I can give you more guide if you're really interested. I have approx. 6 years of exposure in Software Engineering 2 Likes |

Microsoft's Visual Basic Fundamentals: Development for Absolute Beginners would be a good place to start. (http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Visual-Basic-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners) Sams' teach your self visual basic in 24 hrs is another good book. http://www.informit.com/library/library.aspx?b=STY_VB6_24hours If you successfully work with the Sams' book, you should be able to write a visual basic application up to an intermediate level. 1 Like |

Just my own two cents: the programming I was taught in University was crap. Beautifully packaged crap, but crap nonetheless. So I went online in search of tutorials to www.thenewboston.com 1 Like |

God bless you Javanian! You just lifted a burden off me in terms of how to begin or probably where to start. Presently I want to be a programmer and all I know at the moment is just how to check/receive mails, desktop publishing, that's all! I thought of going to NIIT at Ikeja but their money is very high for someone like me to afford, Pls can you take me on this with little money? In other words,can I be an apprentice in your firm? Pls kindly mail me here: showtuneisland@yahoo.com To be honest brov, I got a new exercise book to forme a note yesterday night,thanks once again!!! |

Quite a while. . . This caught my exception. . . alexandra141: i see someone talking about python, python is an old language which is not appreciated among the likes of C++,C# and java. please try to learn this languageSir, IF its TRUE that (you have NEVER participated in a Compiler OR Interpreter OR Assembler implementation), THEN <you are at NO disposition to dish out ANY programming language.> ELSE <Just talk about your experience WITH RESPECT TO the software you were/wanted to use it for ... probably in another thread OR ...make chauvinistic statements, BUT with verifiable reasons> 1 Like 1 Share |

Python gives you best of both worlds OO and functional programming.. and for a security professional a very good language to write POC and script for pen-testing Look up Django framework or Web2py to get a more rich feel of python in case you didn't know that b4 cheers amigo |
