Getting started on programming.?

Question

I'm new to programming and I need a guide on how to learn programming efficiently. Right from scratch, that is, right from the bits, bytes place. Is there any website or anyone of help that can tell me where to start in programming? Not which language to choose. But what aspect of the computer should I study and learn(bits, etc)

Answer 1

Most programming is done with what are known as high level languages which allow you to program the computer using a readable English like language. This is then passed to a compiler which converts your code into the low level binary bits that the computer uses. You would normally start programming with a high level language and pick up knowledge of the low level bits and bytes as you need them.

If you are interested in programming do not start with HTML and CSS which have nothing to do with programming.

Answer 2

You could learn assembly language (which for a beginner can seem quite difficult). Or learn a web based programming language like html. I would suggest that, as a newbie to programming, you choose a language like Python. If you want to learn programming, you will have to decide which language you want to program in. Some people recommend C as a first language; others recommend Visual Basic. If I were you, I'd do a bit of research on what the different languages are like and what you can do with each of them.

If you want to learn about bits and bytes etc, you could do a course at college. The subject is called "Computer Architecture", and it is usually included as part of the Higher National Certificate in Computing (in the UK).

Good luck! Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Hey there!

If you're new to programming, then i recommend you to learn HTML first, then CSS, and at last C, C++ or C#, depending on your wish.
