Learning to program a computer is pretty much the same as learning to speak another language. This is so because in order to program you must learn a language which the computer understands. The only difference is that computer language is a written language. The following steps described will therefore sound familiar to that of learning to speak another language such as French, Spanish, or even English. No matter whether you want to learn some variant of BASIC, C, Cobol, Fortran, Pascal, Java, Perl, Python or even Assembly Language, it will follow these steps which are listed below that are common to learning French, Spanish, Chinese or any of the other languages of the world.
- Step 1
Of course the first place that you would think of going to learn to program computers would be an accredited school, which is not a bad place to start, but not everybody can afford the cost of a formal school. There are some community centers that offer courses on computers operations and programming. This courses are generally basic courses and work as a good starting point in your learning.
- Step 2
No matter whether you are studying at a formal school, taking a community center course, or studying on your own the library is the place to be. That is you will find useful books on programming. Those books will give good examples to study and learn. The examples will also work as a reference and building block.
- Step 3
When the public library is unable to supply you with books in the language you wish to learn then your locale chain bookstore, such as Borders or Barnes & Noble, should be able to help you out. An extra advantage of the books you find at the bookstore is that many of the computer books are accompanied with a cd/dvd with the lessons they are trying to teach on them.
