I'm 22 and i've just started programming, I know i'm a bit late considering most start in their teen years...?

Question

but I'm very motivated and i'm been programming or reading about programming almost every day for about 2 and half months now. Can anyone recommend me good books (beginner/intermediate) to help me in my journey. I don't really care for the programming language but i do know a bit of C/C++... Also do you think i have a bit of a disadvantage for starting programming at 22? When did you start programming?

Answer 1

There is no disadvantage, a teenager may have tried and given up, anyone can program regardless of their age. It's about logic and determination, not age. :)



I recommend these sites:

cprogramming.com

w3schools.com (this is web design)

howtogeek.com (for geeks, by geeks)

hackthissite.org (this site has challenges to test ones self, if they are interested)



Books:

C++ For Dummies



Usually books contain more information than webpages.



Various pieces of information is likely to be found via various Google searches as well.

Answer 2

Your a normal age i mean i seen people start at 35 Years but they are GREAT Programmer never to late. I know someone who started to learn programming at the age of 10 So never too young or old i say GOOD LUCK!

Answer 3

Most people do not start programming in their teens, and in any case, age is totally irrelevant.



C/C++ is the most widely used language on most computers nowadays.

Answer 4

dude. there are people who pick up programming at 30 and become great at it.

Answer 5

Never too late for anything
