Programming Series - 01 - Programming for Beginners

 Hello Guys!

In this post, I will try to help those who wanted to learn programming but have a hard time to start, not knowing what, where and how to learn.

First of all, Programming is the process of creating a set of instructions that tell a computer how to perform a task. Programming can be done using a variety of computer programming languages, such as JavaScript, Python, and C++.
Each programming language has it's own syntax rules but many of them are similar. A good first step into programming is to learn Pseudo Code, a plain language description of the steps in an algorithm or another system. 
Don't take too much time thinking what language you should learn. The important thing is to develop the logic, principles and concepts, those usually aply to every programming language and then, you just apply those with different syntaxes. You just need to know what you want to achieve, for example if you want to create sites, you should learn HTML and CSS for the interface, PHP, Python, Javascript or other languages for the implementation and some Database language like SQL for data persistence. 
If you want to create apps, you can go with C#, Java, C++. For developing games, you can go with C# and Unity or C++ and Cryengine or Unreal Engine.

As where to learn programming, I recommend using SoloLearn on browser or you can download the app on your phone. You have a lot of courses for beginners and it's free. But there are also many other apps and sites where you can learn!

Apps:









And many OTHERS!


Sites:

Udemy - probably the best, it's not free but it's worth the money if you have the time to learn


Pluralsight - a good site if you're going for some more advanced stuff.


As a conclusion - do not try to memorise syntax, you can always search for it, try to understand the basic concepts and logic!

I will come back with more tips and programming stuff!

Thanks for reading!
