Prec1ous:
Html and css
J_query
Javascript
Bootstrap
Php

Start with those

branhampaul:
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.

LordeCalifornia:

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.

Prec1ous:


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

LordeCalifornia:

Did you study computer science in the university or you learnt programming all yourself?

LordeCalifornia:

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.

branhampaul:
Nope, You can learn them with an Android phone. you just need an IDE to write the codes. visit http://www.tizag.com

Studied Agriculture.

Learnt programming on my own, you can do it

LordeCalifornia:
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?

GameKartel:
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.

umitechie:
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.

LordeCalifornia:

Thanks for taking your time to explain this.
I just downloaded some python books.
So, python it is.

GameKartel:
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 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.

LordeCalifornia:

Yeah, I want to major in python and JAVA. My passion is App development. How long have you been coding?

GameKartel:
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.

LordeCalifornia:

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.

GameKartel:
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.

kennyjam:
hello bro, pls what did you download and install and ensure on ur pc/phone before coding in python lang? also,the pdfs/books to aid you. thanks,i await ur quick reply!

LordeCalifornia:

Sorry for the late reply,

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.

kennyjam:

LordeCalifornia:

After installing it,
Press the 'windows key'
Then type 'python' in the search engine.
Then click on 'python (command line)'


Then type print "hello world" and press enter

you can contact us now

kennyjam:
