Beginner's Programming Resources

I have noticed huge increase in the amount of topics in the Programming Forum asking

"What Programming Language should I learn?"

"Beginner Please Help"

"Where is the best place to learn..."

Where to Begin?


The first place to look if you are interested in looking into programming is here

https://www.thetechgame.com/Forums/t=4317591/programming-resources-things-you-need-to-know.html

This will give you a good introduction to programming for Kyle93.

And resource information on Java and C++

This is by no means a complete list of languages, there are many others, and people will always have their opinions on which ones to learn and which to avoid.

I personally believe, that if you are naturally gifted at programming, then ANY language you learn will be a benefit.

Who is Imp?

Now my history has come from a Pre-Windows background, DOS and QBASIC, with X86 Assembly Language, Pascal, Turbo C++ and on to Borland C++

I now work with most .NET Languages (Visual Basic, C# and ASP), database programming (T-SQL), and I am also competent in C++, Java, Javascript, jQuery and PHP.

What Programming Language should you learn first?

From Web Development to Windows Application Development, or from Gaming to Modding.

No matter what language you choose to learn, and what field you are wanting to aim for, if you don't understand the concept of programming, then you will struggle to get further.

The above link shows the concept of programming, from again one point of view, but does clearly show the similarity behind each of the languages.

It is quite a large document, but if you are interested in learning, bookmark for later ;)

Programming Resources

This is down to personal preference. SPEED's sticky mentions Java and C++ from skatertg.

There is also:-

Again, not an exhaustive list, but these are mentioned over and over again in the forums.

Now I have no opinion on these, I am just linking, people can make their own opinion on which is best for them to learn.

Conclusion

So there you have it, if you wish to go into a career in programming. Start with concept, and move forward, basic fundamentals are the most important thing, and the rest will fall into place.

But remember, EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinion, but in the scheme of things, find what is best for YOU, and above all ENJOY what you are doing!!!!
