I Want To Learn Programming But Tutorials Are Unhelpful by RaW(m): 3:56am On Jun 17, 2007
To be honest I want to learn how to program so bad.

Its just that the tutorials out there are so boring and, SENSELESS.

I'm willing to pay someone to teach me how to program

//Description : Eh: Help?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

void help();

string request;

int main()
{
help();

// system("pause"wink;

return 0;
}

void help()
{
cout << "Enter request: ";
getline(cin, request);

cout << request << endl << endl;
}


Program Output:

Undefined error: tutorials are senseless, no one will ever teach you everything regarding programming. you definitely will refer to tutorials, google, books etc. start to appreciate the numerous tutorials available to program these days. Imagine learning how to program 15 - 20 years ago. If you dont like tutorials, forget programming. It is not meant for everyone

get yourself a bgrnd of programming languages, choose one,get the turorials and learn the sytanx then start to apply your thinking in writting your simple applications.

Tutorials are there to guide you and build to what you already know.

Tutorials are sensible to others and senseless to you, right? So ask yourself, "where exactly is this sense lacking"?

- What is a utility developer?
- What is LB?

Actualy, those tutorials are your best bet. You just have to take it slowly and one step at ta time. You will learn more from those tutorials than anyone will ever teach you. Programming takes a lot of time and dedication. With the tutorials you will go at a pace that suits you.

To the poster and everyone in this thread:

I understand what the poster is trying to say. People learn at different paces and with different styles. Some people can easily understand while reading books [even without first being in a class], others may not find this easy.

Those who do not find this easy would usually perfer to be taught the rudiments first and later continue to climb. I am in that category too.

For example, I remember when I started learning VB 6.0 on my own, I was getting myself confused all the time. I almost cried out my heart because I wanted to know programming so well at that time.

However, when I had someone teach me a little, then I could understnad the basic things about it and continue on my own without much supervision. So, I partially agree with the poster on his comments.

But what he said about tutorials being senseless? I do not quite fully agree to that.
