To program solutions.

My reply to a similar question:

Programming is financially rewarding but takes time, practice and persistence.
I was once faced with the task of merging about 17,000 pairs of images into single images and was able to do it programmatically. The options are many in programming. Programming is the gateway to unlocking the power of computers as machine. I know a person who was tasked with merging close to a hundred thousand pairs of photos into single photos. He used manual method and choose editors.

Just started learning programming, it's look interesting and brain-tasking, I think u have to be very good in maths to be able to learn programing. Though, its still kinda difficult for me because of my poor computer basis.
Re: What Can I Do With Programming? by gabsoft: 9:18pm On Feb 15, 2018
Tools for learning programming is the next question. What online or offline tools can i use to start learning?
I appreciate your responses so far. Thanks a whole lot.

Go to freecodecamp.com. Register and follow all the lessons from the very beginning to the end. Also, register at sololearn.com. Then, of course YouTube. Choose a language you want to learn and watch video tutorials on YouTube.
You don't have to be good at mathematics to be a good programmer. You just have to be a good thinker.

I recommend Java. It has wide range of good features, multi-platform(OS) compartible, multiple devices(mobile, embedded, web, pc, ios, linux etc) and many resource to support. And a robust api to go with it. It is arguable in the top 2 languages if not the undisputed best.

Re: What Can I Do With Programming? by gabsoft: 4:21am On Feb 16, 2018
Wow! I'm grateful! Impressive responses!
Two more questions... If java is too much(complex) for a complete beginner, which other programming tool can be best to start?
Can i learn it offline? Where can i download the tools for free?
Want to appreciate the lecturers that have responded. Thanks a whole lot!

There are many programming languages. First off, do you wanna go into web development or mobile app development.
if it is web, you can learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, React js, PHP, MySql, SQLIte etc.
To get started with web design, you need a text editor e.g notepad, notepad++, sublime etc.
if it is mobile development, you can learn Java, React Native, C++, Kotlin etc.
If you wanna narrow it down to Android mobile development (I'm an Android developer), you will have to learn Java and XML.
You can check my blog to get started https://rexdevelopers..com.ng/

Start with Python 3....which is what am currently learning. Within four days of learning the language...I'm now manipulating input files....even able to preform data mining.

Download this book and start right away offline or online: https://www.py4e.com/book.php

One answer for you, programming would change the way you see life, everything becomes an opportunity for you. It might make you have headaches at first if you're learning Java, PHP, Javascript and what not, but once you begin to understand it, it get interesting and you want to explore all range of your programming capabilities. Imagine me waking up and programming a calculator using python for no just reason. Programming will become part of you
