I want to learn computer programming but i need some help?

I learned C++ by buying an used book (only cost about $30) and looking up anything I didn't understand online, but you can definitely learn without spending any money. There's thousand of tutorials on the web, just start off with the basics variable declarations, loops, arrays, pointers, file input/output, etc. http://www.learncpp.com/ http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ Youtube is also a good site if you prefer the videos. Lecture 1 - Programing Basics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjyR9e-N1D4&feature=channel Numerical Methods and Programing by Prof.P.B.Sunil Kumar, Department of Physics, IIT Madras Lecture 1 | Programming Paradigms (Stanford) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps8jOj7diA0&playnext_from=TL&videos=xmYwP-_I58g StanfordUniversity — Lecture by Professor Jerry Cain for Programming Paradigms (CS107) in the Stanford University Computer Science department. Programming Paradigms (CS107) introduces several programming languages, including C, Assembly, C++, Concurrent Programming, Scheme, and Python. The class aims to teach students how to write code for each of these individual languages and to understand the programming paradigms behind these languages. Lecture 1 | Programming Methodology (Stanford) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkMDCCdjyW8&feature=related CS106A is an Introduction to the engineering of computer applications emphasizing modern software engineering principles: object-oriented design, decomposition, encapsulation, abstraction, and testing. Uses the Java programming language. Emphasis is on good programming style and the built-in facilities of the Java language.

The best way to learn C++ is to start lower than C++. Trust me, this is NOT an entry level language. I recommend trying out Visual C or Visual C# first, then going to C++. Also, you will need the actual software for these languages, which can cost in the hundreds of dollars. You can get the Express versions of Microsoft's Visual Studio programs off the MSDN website, and they're completely free and pretty useful. Out of all of them, Visual Basic is the most beginner-friendly.

Well, HTML is a good start, in absence of a class I suggest you go straight to the source. I use Sun's own Java tutorial (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/) and I think they even have a developer kit for windows. As for C++, just look at your library. I found a huge tome of C++ info that included a disk with a pdf copy of the book and other tools. I'm still concentrating on Java (which I suggest you do first) but it seems good.

Learn C++ in 21 days (humor intended): http://abstrusegoose.com/249 ------------------ Now, after reading that, you should have an idea of what you are about to get yourself into. There's no shortcut to be proficient in C++--it will take much time and effort. C++ for Beginners: http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html As for compiler, you can use Code::Block (yes, it is free, and is cross-platform [Win, Mac, Linux]) http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads ----------------- My personal advice is that you shouldn't try to learn C++ by yourself; it will be very, very, very difficult if you attempt to learn on your own. If your school has a programming course, even if it is not C++, you should still take it--at least to have a feel of what programming is like. I started out with Visual Basic .NET, then jump to C++. I still struggle with both languages even now--and probably all my life, lol. Once again, if your school offers any programming class at all, take it--take it to have a feel of what programming is like, and to gain some experience with debugging. Good luck! :-)

I was looking at the same thing you do and I found some website with really nice collection of tutorials from the web, they organized it pretty neatly. search for Computer programming section, or just directly goto their section there, ihope this helps www.onlinelearningforfree.com

Well i used the book C++ in 10 minutes to learn. I highly suggest it. but as for becoming a programmer it takes more than just html. You need css, and most likely javascript. This website will teach you about any one of them you need to know: http://www.w3schools.com/ Good luck.

I know there are C++ books "for dummies" and things like that. Try the library, the 000s are the computer section in Dewey decimal and they will have really old school books.
