Hi! Learn the basic concepts of programming with practical learning approach with Scratch first, before you learn anything more capable. It will be like laying a concrete foundation before you build a house on top of it. https://www.udemy.com/scratch-programming/

Codecademy is a good suggestion. Udemy is decent too. Either of the two would be my go-to for newbies.

Oh, great point! I forgot about Udemy.  I use a lot of their Cisco training videos, but. they have lots of programming ones too.

To be a programmer is to earn decently. I, too, previously had a dream to become a programmer and go to another country to work, but life lead me in another direction.

No matter which programming language you choose or what method to learn, you should start at the most basic level. Start with the basics and be patient with yourself during the learning process. In order for your first programming project to be completed, split the project into several simple steps. And if a learning style does not work for you, try other ways before you give up.

Programming is easy to study. Patience is one of the things you must consider in studying programming because its a trial and error thing to run a program. Stackoverflow.com use this site.

Want to Make Money as a Programmer? Learn Blockchain Development


https://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Uploads/Graphics/533-1028165127-computer-programming-blockchain-development-760x400.jpg


According to Mehul Patel, the CEO of San Francisco tech talent recruitment firm Hired, the demand for the blockchain has increased significantly in the past several months. The supply of software engineers is already low, and individuals that are well versed in the cryptocurrency sector are even more scarce.

"There's a ton of demand for blockchain. Software engineers are in very short supply, but this is even more acute and that's why salaries are even higher."

There will be many questions when you learn programming yourself. Choose the excitement and easiest way to get started. It is important that you start rather than reflect. All roads cross at one point, the skills that will complement the later career.

That's great but bear in mind that like other intellectually stimulating endeavour programming is uneasy to learn but with dedication and perseverance, you will get far. If I'll suggest a programming language to start with for you, I'll say choose python. The syntax is closer to English that all other alternatives.

I want to learn programming by self study but I don't know where to start. I'm a complete beginner. Can you give me some advices what books, sites, or any resources are best for begginers? If you're a self taught programmer, please share your experiences too.

This deal is for sure the future. There are a lot of tutorials on youtube, there you will find and some platforms that will help you with. I wish you good luck!

find a language that can be useful for you, and just start.
As soon as you have a basic skill, you will need to get deeper into it, to make fast & secure code.

First, choose a specialization. It will depend on your preferences. Do you want to write games? Create websites? Teach artificial intelligence? Be a mobile/desktop developer? This is what you need to choose yourself. I don't think that one of the fields is better than others. If you have specific criteria (salary level, popularity, number of vacancies...), just search for statistics on programming languages on web, that's simple.
-snip-
I'm interested in Data Science, guess I'll end up with artificial intelligence once I go deeper into programming. I also tried to explore some of the programming languages suggested above and out of those, Python seems intuitive to me.

Anyway, thank you for your advice (and to everyone else as well) it's a huge help  Smiley

If you want to learn to programme, you first need to learn more than one language, you can refer to the pages, books, ... And remember to always take notes and the theory is always accompanied by practice.

first, pick up a basic language like C. or you can go for python as it is much more useful yet easy to learn.. the important thing is to create basic concepts.
for learning your first language you can pick up youtube tutorials or some books for reference. but it won't matter much because you will only learn what you practice.
use geeksforgeeks.com  to practice and learn and then later shift to competitive coding on hackerrank or codechef.
 hope this helps..
I personally follow this.

I recommend starting with Scratch. Go to udemy.com and search ''scratch programming''. It will teach you the programming fundamentals from which you will be ready to move on to more advanced programming languages.

If you want to keep up with the times, I'd advise you to look into the development of mobile applications in particular for IOS. Destop is dead so apps is your choice.
Don't you wanna look into Swift? Some introduction goes here https://developer.apple.com/swift and some cool leasons for beginners are here https://codewithchris.com/learn-swift/
Have fun.

I will suggest you start with python. Python is object oriented language and very easy to learn unlike others like Java or even C+. The syntax is close to everyday English, its what you can easily relate it and before you know it, you've started developing your own applications. Meanwhile, it's not that simple you need passion to survive.

+1 to Python

I have been a professional C++ developer. When I learned Python (just for fun) I was really surprised how easy language it is.
Things that take a long time to implement in C++ can be really  really simple in Python.

There are lots of easy to use and  well implemented libraries written in python.

One problem with C++ is that it can be confusing and time consuming to begin using some new library. Meaning you have to study a lot to be able to use it properly. One example is openssl..

You can learn from the book, but most readers don't have the capacity to practice if read only from books. Whatever you are doing, mix it up once. Try to learn from a variety of media such as books, videos, web, etc.

This is what you need to choose yourself. I don't think that one of the fields is better than others. If you have specific criteria (salary level, popularity, number of vacancies...), just search for statistics on programming languages on web, that's simple.

After that, you will need to choose a stack of technologies which you must know to find a job later (in addition to the programming language you will have chosen). Browse job offers to see what you need to know along with the language. Sort the list of technologies in order to study and start learning.

Almost any resource will be good for a beginner IF you are consistent and persistent. I mean, you need to read everything carefully and regularly, do all tasks described and suggested by the author, look for answers which can appear during your study, etc. I know hundreds of non-programmers who just "want to learn programming" but do nothing to achieve this.

As soon as you get the first idea of what you are learning and what you need to know, you will be able to independently study and choose the best resource for you. A book, a website with lessons and tasks, a youtube channel - it does not matter and also depends on your preferences. Once again - for a beginner. I believe that to become an expert in a particular field, you need to read books, as they are more consistent and detailed. But in the first stage, you just need to get a general idea.

When you specify your goals and strategy, go to any programming community and address your future questions to them. For example, on reddit. Follow their threads to keep in touch and track the latest changes in the field.

Good luck with your learning!

I'm sure you can find many sites by google-ing youself already. Here's one i used to use when i started learning some basic html and python. The interface is pretty easy to use, and lessons are newbie friendly too. They have built in app to let you try and practice what your learned right after each lessons
