I Want To Learn Programming, Where Do I Start From? by LordeCalifornia: 4:43pm On Oct 09, 2017 |
I really want to learn how to program and build system softwares and applications. I have no knowledge on programming whatsoever. So to achieve this, where do I start from? What are the tools/softwares I would need for this? |

Html and css J_query Javascript Bootstrap Php Start with those |

Html is the basic, then learn Css which makes designing less stressful. After learning those then pick among these to learn; Php, python, perl, node.js or any other one. |

Prec1ous:I appreciate your reply. But the thing is, how exactly do I begin? Do I need to download any software to begin? Or do i start by writing my codes on a notebook? Or on my computer's note pad? I'm a clean slate with no programming knowledge at all. 1 Like |

branhampaul:How exactly do I learn any of these programming languages? Do I need a software to begin? Kindly explain it to me like I'm 5. Thanks. |

LordeCalifornia: I bought a notebook then. Writing down the things I don't ever want to forget. Downloaded PDF to read, they will instruct you on the programs to install. Learn one advantage time |

Prec1ous:Did you study computer science in the university or you learnt programming all yourself? |
Re: I Want To Learn Programming, Where Do I Start From? by Prec1ous(m): 7:13pm On Oct 09, 2017 |
LordeCalifornia: Studied Agriculture. Learnt programming on my own, you can do it |
Re: I Want To Learn Programming, Where Do I Start From? by branhampaul: 7:14pm On Oct 09, 2017 |
LordeCalifornia:Nope, You can learn them with an Android phone. you just need an IDE to write the codes. visit http://www.tizag.com 1 Like 1 Share |

branhampaul:Seems the site you gave is for those who want to learn web development. My interest is in system Softwares and mobile applications. Thanks nonetheless, let me start from there. |

LordeCalifornia:well c# and lua is perfect for system app and softwares and u can incorporate c# in xamarin for cross-platform android/ios mobile dev or python only will still do for ui design combine with c# or c++ or python only for desktop apps or apple's own swift 2 language for ios app and mac desktop app dou is not cheap since you gonna need apple laptop. c++ for game designs and app engine dat powers frostbite 45%, unreal engine 100%, blizzard entertainment 48%. you can use java language for both android mobile dev and software app. in summary any of dz 3 below is the most powerful language; c++, c#, and python> you can accomplish anything you want to do with great proficiency in any of dz; d ball is within ya court. |

Python is a good choice and the syntax is simpler to grasp compared to some other languages. Whether you're going to build systems, mobile apps, etc It might also be good to get a grasp of HTML/CSS and JavaScript. Codecademy.com & freecodecamp.com would help you. |
Re: I Want To Learn Programming, Where Do I Start From? by LordeCalifornia: 3:34pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
umitechie:Yeah thanks! I'd sure check the sites out. |

LordeCalifornia:i m glad i can help; some ppl dnt knw picking up randomly any programming languages w/o knowing its full purpose and power of use is a waste of talent and resources. it all boils down 2 what one actually wants to achieve with dem. thats why they are soo many out dia; c,c#, c++, java, visual basic ++ or whatever, lua, scala, python, pascal, apple's own swift 2, dephilan, boo, perl etc. it is just a matter of choice and motivation to decide d one or two that really matters. as for me, i am already a c++ and GDscript guy. my life, my choice. 1 Like |
Re: I Want To Learn Programming, Where Do I Start From? by LordeCalifornia: 5:34pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
GameKartel:Yeah, I want to major in python and JAVA. My passion is App development. How long have you been coding? |

LordeCalifornia:attended my first website development seminar in 2005 with maximum insight company, i have got a groupie class picture and cert to show for it. but professionally 3yrs ago, started off with web development. then i jump ship later now that wiix.com and wordpress are taking our jobs. dia is , web templates and scripts flooding d internet, now when some buys or register a domain name, u will get all the fancy option of easily building a point and edit, super easy and user-friendly web template ready to go online at a single mouse click. i got frustrated bcuz d web dev jobs were not forthcoming. even during d era of peer2peer website tin, they were all recycling and editing already pre-built web templates and scripts. then i quit struggling and divert to other areas of programming. but i still offer help and build customize website occasionally. |
Re: I Want To Learn Programming, Where Do I Start From? by Nobody: 6:09pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
LordeCalifornia:very well thought-out and good choice, i really like java and python combino, i wish i could switch over but i lyk my own dz way. hmm u cant under-estimate the power of python. i think the knowledge of python alone is responsible for internet hacking and emerging online hackers, bcuz python can bind and embed well with just about any programming language. i might one day pick it up as i go, and i wont be surprised |
Re: I Want To Learn Programming, Where Do I Start From? by LordeCalifornia: 6:23pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
GameKartel:Interesting, you had an early exposure. Yeah true, blogger, wordpress, SimDif and the likes are really making it difficult for Web developers to thrive in this era. Aside That, I think the web development sector of programming seems to be getting 'super-saturated' by the day with the overwhelming influx of new programmers (which is not really bad) Anyways, my programming journey just kicked off. I hope to enjoy The ride with the guidance of nairaland programmers like you, sir. |
Re: I Want To Learn Programming, Where Do I Start From? by Nobody: 6:32pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
LordeCalifornia:you mean some on and off coders like us until 3yrs ago recently. my advice is no matter what, dont stray just keep pushing until u see yourslf succeeding. |
Re: I Want To Learn Programming, Where Do I Start From? by LordeCalifornia: 6:37pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
GameKartel:Lol. Thanks For the tip. |

kennyjam:Sorry for the late reply, w w w . p y t h o n . o r g / d o w n l o a d s Then select your OS. Or There's a video on youtube titled "all of python in one video". You'd see all you need there. |

Re: I Want To Learn Programming, Where Do I Start From? by LordeCalifornia: 4:49pm On Nov 16, 2017 |
kennyjam:Were you able to print 'hello world'? You know I'm equally a beginner, maybe Olamil434 can help out |
Re: I Want To Learn Programming, Where Do I Start From? by LordeCalifornia: 4:57pm On Nov 16, 2017 |
kennyjam:I'm at work presently (and I'm not with my system). So I can't give a qualitative reply. I'd sure give a more useful reply when I get hold of my system. 2 Likes |
