why don't you go for the simplest of all languages? markup languages like HTML you can begin to understand and appreciate coding from these humble beginings. HTML, XML/UML, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, ASP, |

studM: okay lemme teach u dis simple method by using notepad Open a new notepad start writing out these codes: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>studM</title> </head> <body> <h2>My first web page</h2> <p>My name is studM</p> </body> </html> click on "file" then "save as"...a box opens.input the name you want in the "File name" eg="student.html"...click on "save as type" and select= "all files"..then click "save".. Go to the folder location, double click on the saved file which takes the logo of a browser either chrome or IE etc.. and then it appears on ur preferred browser.. i dunno how else seomeone could explain to you to understand..i learnt html too in w3schools..so i belive u need to be thoughtful and follow there procedures carefully |

I think C# is the best in my own opinion as it is more modern,faster, and can work on any machine that has CLR installed. |

okundia ernest: I have a very strong passion for In today's environment, make sure you've also mastered a basic understanding of technology in general terms. What do I mean by technology in general terms? As it relates to programming, you have to have a basic understanding of how a PC/Mac (hardware) works, you have to have a good understanding of how a couple of well-known operating systems work, i.e., Windows, Unix/Linux, and obviously the Internet (or web) and Networking (not at the configuring of router/switch level, but the understanding of IP Addressing, DNS, etc). It would also be nice to know how a database-driven software works. With this type of information in mind, you’ll end up a better programmer than without such mastered basics. Now to answer your specific question, it would appear you don’t currently have a Computer Science degree, which is by no means a barrier. In fact, the best programmers I’ve come across don’t have a degree or come from another background (or have another type of degree). Typically, the colleges/universities pick a language to help demonstrate what is common across languages, structure, syntax, etc. In the early days, institutions used PASCAL and COBOL, nowadays JAVA is very common and so is C# as a first language in schools for students to learning programming. Hope this helps. |

Thanks in anticipation To launch your browser on a Windows machine, click on the "Start" button on the lower left corner, followed by clicking on "Run". Type <iexplore> (without the angle brackets) to launch Internet Explorer, or type <firefox> (without the quotes to launch Mozilla Firefox. I don’t know how easy it is to access computer classes from a local school. If that is not available to you, and you have some change and have access to the internet from where you are, there are schools online and youtube videos you can subscribe to from the best schools around the world – this should get you started. |

Friend. My question goes thus; Are you familiar with desktop application at all..If NOT know can decide that for you....Know one knows where your strength lies. Nice having interest in programming...check www.3schools.com PHP tutorials...However are you familiar with any open source software? If not i will advice you to start with an open source software (joomla)which i strongly believe will be a stepping stone for you to be familiar with some levels of codes. However, you can also pick up a webdesign Video training Cd which explain in full details on how to design a website and which also introduce you to Mysql..that was the way i developed real knowledge in programming. You can try out our simple webdesign traning cd upload on youtube from the link below.
