How to learn to become a programer?

How can a college dropout become a successful programer?

  • I don't know any programing languages (Except the basics of C++). I do well in things I know. How can I start my carrer as a programer? Which languge is best to learn for a beginner? Is self study enough or should I find a training centre? How much of knowledge is enough to start working, and what's the best way to find my first job?

  • Answer:

    Thanks for the A2A. I am not aware of your field of study during college but it is important to know that most big companies (Fortune500) require you to have a degree to hire. But that is not the only criteria to be a successful programmer. You could work for startups and start you own firm if you are confident of your skills. :) Remember Steve Jobs and Bill Gates too were college dropouts who went on to set the indistry trends later. Learn C language. After this, learning almost any language will be a cakewalk for you. Learn algorithms and data structures. These are your best friends as a programmer. Practice programs a lot. Do your own projects. Make games, apps or develop ROMs for phones, tablets, etc. Do some projects for free or a nominal amount to add weight to your resume through your work.

Yes u can become a good programmer. But u have to understand that a company cannot hire you without an official degree Having said that u can b a successful free lancer n there are many famous free lancers out there earning good money. But u have to put a good amouny of hard work. First of all learn C language with data structures. Language is not an issue, developing logic for problems is what a programmer needs to be efficient in. So Learn C with data structure for starter. Then C++ N learn basics of java Out of these 3 the languages in which one u are more comfortable learn it in depth. Become master of it. Then comes database part. SQL etc are the db u need to be good in. After that comes web designing. After learning all these things web designing is fairly easy! U can do self study but if u do these courses from a recognised institution their certificate might add up to ur credibility.
