I am very interested in the blockchain technology and I want to find out all about it. As I understand it, it is better to start with the usual programming. What is the best way for me to start, so that later it is convenient to join the development of the blockchain?

It majorly depends on your determination to learn. YouTube is one such great tool to understand some basics about certain course units or topics Not advertising it or something like that but www.bitdegree.org/ caught my eye. I just loved the whole idea of blockchain courses in it but you will obviously have to spend so money for the courses. I am no programmer but i just do try to learn basics about Bitcoin and the blockchain without going into deep details which involve programming. I am pretty sure there are more such online course projects such as bitdegree, you can do a little digging.

If you are really into blockchain programming, one approach you can take is to scout through job offers to get a sense of what is being required nowadays, studying the requisites in terms of skills, programming languages, specific areas of experience and so on.
If you search job offers on linkedIn using the term "blockchain", today I got 12.987 showing offers worldwide. Reading through them will give you a notion of where to head for in your quest, although since you seem to be starting from scratch in programming itself, the learning curve is going to be steep. There are many previous concepts and logical patterns of thought you need to master first.

I am a software developer myself and studied it in high school. High schools in my country usually teach Java as the first as programming language to freshmen. I would also advise you to start a Java course if you are really interested in learning how to develop software. A well know Java book is called "Java in 21 days". Just search for it at Amazon

To use the blockchain technology you don't need to be an expert or in this case have some sort of programming expertise to use this tech unless you want to become the next Satosho Nakamto then consider studying computer science. otherwise java script, python, java, ruby should put you on the right path What is the best way for me to start, so that later it is convenient to join the development of the blockchain? Bitdegree isn't a bad place start off from especially that you get to find some free courses there, then another alternative you can consider is https://www.udemy.com/topic/blockchain/

An interesting question... First of all, I must say that your academic background/your age matters when you're just starting to learn to code. 30+ years old people (having no academic background in programming as well as no previous experience) usually struggle in learning to code. I'd recommend you to start with two languages: Python and Java. Get books of both the languages made for beginners. Start with the following compilers: For Python: https://www.python.org/downloads/For Java: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/netbeans/downloads/index.htmlWhen you've become friendly with the simple (procedural), functional, and object-oriented programming (you'll probably become friendly with them once you've read through half of the book), learn the usage of Github. At Github, learn to fork/clone and make pull requests. Make some contributions, even the minor ones will help you (and make you happy) in the start. Once you've done it all, move to blockchain projects. Learn to develop smart contracts in the start and your own coins by forking. Once you've made it this far, lemme know by PM. I'll provide you a new roadmap.

you can not learn both at the same time. it is going to be extremely hard and time consuming. if you want to learn "programming" then start that and stay away from focusing on blockchain technology because the topics involved (such as cryptography and lots more) are complex and without having the programming knowledge first you can't really learn those. and it is time consuming too.
additionally if you want to just learn programming + blockchain to join the copycat and ICO nonsense then let me just tell you now that it is not worth the time you waste. you can spend that time more constructively and learn an actual skill that can earn you a lot more money.

It would be better if you formally get an education for that however if your time isn't capable for that, then you may just buy some books that teach programming specializing in Blockchain. This would be hard if you don't have any background in basic programming; in this case you may start using Java, HTML, Phyton and etc.

There is no simple asnwer to that. For different people there is different method thats best for them. Its very individual. Some want to start from "real" programming language like C/C++ but some take easier road with PHP. All depends on persona.

It makes a lot of sense to start with non-OO languages like C or Pascal to get to know the basics of programming. Back in my highschool days we even had to learn Assembler but thats definitly nothing I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn programming Due to the fact that Java is so popular and easy to learn its definitly no bad choice to start with it. The gap to understand what objects are and how to use them may be a little higher compared to eg. starting with C but you have to take this gap anyways.

It is necessary to enroll in some courses, always with a mentor who will help and correct errors. You can also teach one, but it is long and exhausting.

It would be best if you learned the basics first. You need to know about a lot of things if you want to understand blockchain technology fully. You should know binary, cryptography, and programming languages. Then you can specialize in many areas of development. Perhaps this industry needs more of UX developers.

Good choice but you must focus first in this programming language before you learn the other languages you should start from the basic to advanced. And next is learning C++ after you master these 2 languages you can start learning other programming languages and I think they are easy to learn (PHP, Java and other blockchain programs ETC...) Important thing: Don't forget to start with the basics before you go in advanced because if you study the basic and then shortcut you will never understand the program in advanced.

First you need to know what programming language you wanted to learn. There were a lot of programming language exists and these are: - Phyton
- C
- C++
- Java
- Java script
All of these programming languages are helpful in crypto. I believe that there were people that uses combination of two or three languages to make some signatures. Not only that, I believe that if there are softwares or websites that a company wanted to produce, they might hire you. The best thing to do is to study at least top 1 to 5 programming languages. Now, if you know now the languages you wanted to study, then search for it on youtube there were a lot of guides in there just pick the most recent ones. And if you want to program something just search on google the codes. For example there's a problem in which you need to create a program that counts characters and numbers. You can try and search in google "program in C++ that counts characters and numbers." Everything is searchable in the internet right now.

Hope you take note of all responses here.
Even how helpful the source is, how good your mentors, how innovating your study will be, your knowledge will be based on how you are eager to learn. It will take years or depends on how your knowledge will be built.
Honestly, no need to literally learn all the internal stuffs of all programming languages just to be a pre-requisite to learn the whole blockchain tech but it's up to you. Well then, it will be a long journey like you are taking a usual course so all I can say is goodluck.

I know this is probably going to get buried in the comments, but I highly recommend buying a book over any web course. You will learn so much more in a much more structured fashion. Online courses are the trend, but books are the way to go. Get a beginner book and work through the exercises and it will help you so much more in the long run.
