Hey,

I would like to learn some programming. I am not aiming at becoming a professional by any stretch, I´d just really like to understand the basic principles of how it works, and maybe how to but scripts together.

I know, that it is propably easier, when I know what I would like to do. But are there any really basic tutorials, maybe even for kids?

Don´t worry I am not planning to use it for some billionth BTC-Clone Smiley .

Thanks and regards,

ttookk

It depends on what language you're wanting to learn and what you actually want to do with programming, if you're looking for something like C++ or C# I recommend finding a copy of this book.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=C%2B%2B+Primer+5th+Edition

Even if you're wanting to learn Javascript it's very useful regardless as it explains the absolute basics and also contains a glossary in the back with all the programming terms out there so that means you'll be able to understand what the hell programmers are saying when they're explaining stuff to you most of the time.

Sometimes they leave parts out though or don't realise they need to explain something else -_- but that's just like with most professionals lol.

Great, thanks Smiley

I am a big fan of books, as this is the way I learn most things, but regarding programming, it felt kinda counterintuitive. Good to know that this actually is a valid way. Thank you.

There are online simulators you can use, which will then provide you with actual results of your codes.

Someone gave me few pages about HTML because I had no internet...
I programmed then on my computer a web page with just "hello world"
I was proud like Oskar...(lol)

Little by little I have add things like lines or colors (lol)
and more text...

After few Months only I have then taken internet...

Then i programmed many and many HTML web pages for the fun about fish and aquariums...but soon I was fan about making cash by internet...In the meantime I learnt English...I liked programming sites in French an English.

I tried then the PHP language,but I have understood nothing...and i was close to give up...
I foud a script about an autosurf...
I jumped in it...and took it as base for my PHP study...
modified it little by little to cook (lol) the autosurf de la spirale gagnante
http://autosurf.winspiral.com
IT IS MY BABY (lol)
After I programme the biggest "survey of the net" (lol)
Le grand sondage des préférences...
http://sondage.winspiral.net

and so on...and so on...

And now people over the world earn satoshi with my systems (lol)

It's better if you can find few video tutorials which you're going to learn. Watch them carefully and do practice regularly. So that you might not forget. Regular practice can help you to being a master on it.

Thanks all,

I started the Java course at codecademy. They ease you in very nicely, and with absolutely NO knowledge of what programming actually means, I have the feeling that I start to understand a bit, for example that it is basically about creating functions.
An epiphany that I had was, that a person I know just recently built the "Game of life", and I just realized, how one (not me yet, obviously) could use the If/else functions in Java to define the rules, by which the game works. Very interesting.

Go for the basic Udacity courses or try some programming games, like TIS-100, for example

Watching videos on youtube must be a an easy way to learn anything.
You have plenty of good videos about every major language on youtube. +1 Wink
Also you can download at kickass some videos but i don't want to encourage you , due to virus and malware threats.

If you are into web developing, you can try w3school.com and try some from Udemy, they have some pretty courses out there.

Of coarse there is the well known CodeAcademy.com, but another great program is called Appinventor2, which is a coding program but instead of having to type out your code, each piece of code comes in blocks, which you put together in any order you please to create simple games, and it can be a lot of fun.

I think best future right now have web development Java/php
Php is easy for learning and you can fast get some position in his business.
Java is more complicated but best!
Buy book! Use Youtube this is ok for start.
c++ is old and very heavy to start with it. Maybe C# ?

i suggest you start with python,it is a very simple program to start in the first place, i have seen some suggestions about c#, since he is new to programming let him start with simple stuff

why would everyone suggest hmtl,i guess everyone here knows html,since you start learning that in school, remember i am in my 30s and i first learned in school. for those who want to brush up thing w3schools is the best place
