How to learn programming

Best way to learn
So how should I go about learning the programming language of my choice?

1. Get a beginners book on your programming language.
Before you choose the book, make sure you read the reviews to make sure it’s a good choice.


2. It is important that once you begin learning the programming language through your book, you don’t take big breaks. Taking long breaks will cause you to forget things you learned in the beginning that apply to the rest of the book.


3. Do ALL of the practice problems provided in the book. The only way you will become better is by applying what you learn.


4. When something difficult comes up or something that makes no sense to you, don’t avoid or skip it. Instead embrace it! This is how you actually learn. If you still don’t understand it after going over it multiple times, find someone that can help you.


5. Join a programming forum. Search for a website on your programming language that has a large user base. There will be many professionals on there that will be able to help you when you get stuck.


6. Practice. Practice Practice. Think of ideas for fun programs that you could make and program them!
