CapedBaldy:
finally got my PC. I'm gonna be starting with HTML and CSS then move to php or python

I discovered programming at the age of 37 in 2012. It all started when a friend taught me how to automate my design works in excel with VBA MACRO, venturing into MACRO opened my eyes to further the studies into Visual basic VB6 and I was able to publish my little works for running on windows that same year. While attending the VB training, I inquire how to reach wider audience with my works, another road was shown into web development.

I gradually learned HTML, Javascript and PHP online. between 2012 and 2013. By 2015, I enrolled for Diploma course in Web Development with NIIT Port Harcourt. And today, am a fulfilled web developer (PHP specifically).

Provided I am able to get what I needed with PHP and Javascript, needless to must learn every-every and thus, dropped further studies into VB and .NET since 2017. But my next take is Python or .NET. looking forward to middle of 2020.

If you never thought of coding, you will be looking at programmers like small gods. until the first day I wrote a functional MACRO, I used to believe that programmers are special kind of people not knowing I can code "HELLO WORLD" in less than 10 minutes class and take off from there.

marshalcarter:

hello good morning and a happy New year...
please I'd love to learn PHP but i don't know if you're in Lagos

stanliwise:
I am not in Lagos currently. Any problem?

Najdorf:
Started "pseudo-coding" at 11 with Swift Playgrounds. That was what ignited my passion for programming.

A year later when I was 12 was when I started learning actual programming with Java and python.

Started after school..... Was 25 then now am 28..... Started with YouTube and Stack overflow when ever I meet a dead end.
So far I am Master in HTML, CSS, PHP, JAVASCRIPT. Currently learning React , ReactNative, Flutter and Laravel cos I have a dream to travel out someday and this skills are in top demand.


Focus on easy language to help you write your code very short.

For example ReactNative enable you to write your app in Android and iOS at once. This help you to cut cost of employing Android developer and iOS developer. Example Instagram, Facebook Messager.

But Google came out with Flutter... Another monster you just write your code for Android and iOS ( I think also for Destop App) at once which enable developer to write faster code without needs to be switching view in ReactNative or Trying to Re-arrange your code when there is new version of ReactNative.

Follow the trend to eat. and also have your own personal project.. that one is the big jack pot if you succeed.

Languages are tools to solve a problem. Learn how to solve the problem first and pick the took that best fits.

I doubt if you can learn programming simply because you want to make money out of it. Without the passion to code, you will get frustrated and eventually dump your plans for another.

), }, ; and code blocks will be your worst enemies in programming. Not to discourage you, get a good teacher and you might just scale through.

I understand. What I am trying to say is that learning to code is a long term investment. You can't learn it in 3-4 months. It takes time. And through all this time, you will have 1 million reasons to give up. Algorithm, syntax errors, lack of zeal, frustration, time are some of the most common reasons why people get fed up and quit. If you are going to learn, then be prepared to encounter these problems. Cheers!

Started 16 b4 and during covid lockdown in cybersecurity(thanks to one Nairalander who opened a Whatsapp group)
My brother later started.we don't have a pc yet because we're thinking of starting learning how to use Unity or Unreal.
This is just msfconsole on termux.its power is limited but on kali or ubuntu it's limitless.i do create php backdoors and test them with servers with some php and html i put together.i now understand the use of ncat,msfconsole(metasploit-framework)dnsmap,nmap(i once used this on fbi website and they changed their IP twice),sqlmap(am still looking for sites to pentest),Shodan

Abcruz:


Exactly.
Some people actually feel that becoming a professional in programming is about dancing around different languages.

Without solving a real world problem with a certain programming language, the one who is conversant with 10 languages is not better than a person who cannot code.

Application is all that matters not the number of programming languages you know.
