I want to learn a programming language.?

I would like to learn a programming language. I do not know any programming language till know. I would like to learn java, as it is powerful. Could any one tell me where to download java language and work. Or if you have any suggestion of other languages too, you could tell me what is it and where to download it and its tutorial too. Please. Thanks.

I want to learn a programming language.?
Java is available for free at http://java.sun.com/





If you use http://www.google.com/ then you can look up "java tutorial"





I'd focus on learning one language at a time. HTML, XML, Javascript, and CSS are also very useful technologies/languages to learn.








Also, Eclipse is the best Java IDE (program that you use for compiling and writing programs). It's free. http://www.eclipse.org/

You can learn programming on your own, you don't need to take a class. You say Java is powerful but that's a little vague. The strength of Java is its portability between platforms, but it creates slow programs. It is also very restrictive (making your code more secure against memory leaks and such) but in the process it makes it frustrating for people who studied other programming languages. C and C++ are more powerful but also more dangerous as there are far fewer restrictions. C and C++ code generally executes much faster than Java code.


You really DON'T need a class to study programming but you will need help eventually. A good place to look for help is either here on Yahoo Answers or better yet on a live chat on IRC. (You can download mIRC for windows at http://www.mirc.com/) undernet has a #java, #programming and #c++ channels where you can chat with more experienced programmers which will help you understand key topics. Also if you can get a hold of a good book, you'd be in excellent shape. I learned how to program in c++ from Sams teach yourself C++ in 21 days. I also took courses in college later but the book was a million times better than any course.


Sorry I don't know any of the Java books so I can't make any recommendations.





Hope this helps!
Reply:Good God, don't start with Java. You'll think that memory management happens magically. Most CS paths these days start with Java, and it's a horrible, horrible idea that produces boiled-down, cookie-cutter programmers.





Learn C. It's the lingua franca of the CS world. Your operating system is written in it.





Here's a tutorial:

Here's a compiler that's easy to use for Windows with a graphical user interface:


http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/





And when you get more comfortable, here's the God of C compilers:


http://gcc.gnu.org/





Cheers.
Reply:I am not sure you will be able to download a free "compiler". If you do it probably wont be any good. If this is your first language, good luck. I really would recommend that you take a programming class from a local college. It does not have to be for credit, but college programming classes are a good place to start.
Reply:Congratulations on your decision to learn programming.





Java is a powerful and efficient language, but it's syntax (the way that command keywords are structured within the language) is too complicated for someone just starting to learn how to program.





For a free programming language that's used as more of an educational tool, I would suggest KPL (Kids Programming Language) from Microsoft.

Then, once you have the ideas of how to use the different kinds of programming structures (loops, conditionals, functions) - you can move on to more powerful languages such as VB.NET, C#, or Java.


What is the most interesting Programming Language to learn right now?

c ++

What is the most interesting Programming Language to learn right now?
java or C#. both are very similar, but java has a much bigger field (server, embedded etc) and is platform independent.

I want to learn programming and web designing efficiently?

Programming is a very broad topic. So is webdesign.





First, you need to pick an area to focus on. For example, do you want to learn Javascript? Html? C, C++? VB.net? Something I haven't listed? I wouldn't suggest learning more than one at a time. (If you want to focus in webdesign, go for HTML. It's easy and very forgiving of mistakes. If you want software programming, I'd start with VB.net. It's not too hard, as far as programming computer programs goes.)





Next, you have to either find some books about your topic, or find a class that's offering it. You might also try searching the web for sites offering help and tutorials.





Now, you must practice. No matter how good your memory, unless you actually try things out, you will never get it. Don't be afraid of mistakes. The more you play and fiddle, the more you will learn. If you don't use it, you'll lose it.








If you're interested in HTML, these two sites look promising. Don't stop there though, there's plenty out there.


http://www.computerhope.com/learnhtm.htm


http://www.pagetutor.com/html_tutor/inde...





And here's one for JavaScript:


http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/inde...





C and C++


http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.htm...





And finally VB.net:

Obviously there are many other languages I haven't listed. Just go look and see what you can find.

I want to learn programming ! how do i start i know a bit of c and c++. i wanna design websites?

will html and dhtml suffice. how do i get proficient in programming

I want to learn programming ! how do i start i know a bit of c and c++. i wanna design websites?
Your best bet is to pick up a book about ASP.Net using C#. The C# syntax is similar to C %26amp; C++. ASP.Net is the specific technology for creating web pages. DHTML requires JavaScript, which is still a big part of web programming.





You can download the development environment for free here:


http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/expres...





Good luck!
Reply:Get Visual Web Developer Express Edition from Microsoft and start from there. The more you practice, the better you will become.
Reply:Well c++ is a full fledged programing language you dont need to know it to build web sites. As far as coding all you need to know is HTML and some Javascript to make your pages "dynamic" (dhtml), and if you want to get into server side application you just need to know a server side scripting language like php or asp, and some sql.
Reply:websites' programming are very hard in c/c++. there are other programming languages that best suite your goal.


if you are know abit of c/c++ you better start C#. it will be an easy start for you (actually not so easy .. but thats the case with everything, isn't it?!!).
Reply:Do not get Visual Web Developer Express Edition from Microsoft.
Reply:Do a search on the programming language of your choice...





Google:


C++ tutorial


html tutorial


dhtml tutorial





You'll see lots of sample code, and tips by 'experts'!





best of luck
Reply:You need to know the basics and more of HTML, also Alot of scripting, look up some javascript code, that would be a good start. :) Also, if you want some good programs to make a website, you know to mess around, then download Macromedia dreamweaver, they should give you a 30 day trial, it automaticaly does the code so you know what your doing and you can pretty much learn from that, Good luck!
Reply:C and C++ are not for web designing websites, C is structures language and C++ is OOP language,HTML web designing language but it become out of date now a days, now a days ASP.NET and PHP are very popular for web applications.


Read chapters of books again and again till you understand them thoroughly and always do exercises to make yourself a good programmer.


Answer from;


Khi., Pakistan.
Reply:Taking classes will help, especially in XHTML, DHTML, and PHP or some similar language. Of all of the software I have seen, Macromedia Dreamweaver is the best, however its heavy price may be a bit much. If you want to go for the educational version, you will save, but you cannot create for-profit sites (they can tell). There are no other limitations with the software.





Download the trial and see how you like it. Also, look for some website tutorials. PHP is similar in syntax to C, and is good for making dynamic web-based applications.
Reply:You will learn a lot if you take some classes at your local college. This will give you a chance to learn the programs that are used and get experience working with them.

What all programming languages and other computer languages are there to learn?

I was wanting to learn some more languages, I currently know HTML but that is all, and I was wanting to learn more, so if you know of any languages on the computer then please post them here.





Thanks

What all programming languages and other computer languages are there to learn?
Programming language at wikipedia


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming...





Alphabetical list of programming languages at wiki


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabetica...
Reply:I'd start with QBasic it is a good beginning one to learn then you can move to Visual Basic you can take QBasic Knowledge and apply it there. Then if you are Intrested in scripting you can learn VB script





Then learn C/C++ plenty of free C++ complier out there or you can spend the money and get C++ builder(great product, I use it and love it) C++ is more powerful but it can do more





Then after you have C++ down learn assembly, You can combined C++ and assembly and make realy great code
Reply:There are so many programming languages. However, I would like to give a brief introduction, as you told about your experience.





Ok, the language you mentioned is not really a programming language. It is a Markup Language. A markup language is, in which we tell, that from here to here the text is bold, from there to there is the body of the page. and So on.





A programming language on the other hand, makes things a lot more automated. For example, you have already learnt HTML. Try making a table of 2, now try making that of 3. You see it takes a lots of time, and requires you to compute every time manually.





To avoid that, lets use a scripting language called "JavaScript". To use it, see this HTML:





%26lt;HTML%26gt;


%26lt;BODY%26gt;


%26lt;SCRIPT Language=JavaScript%26gt;


n=prompt("Enter a number to get its table: ");





for (i=1;i%26lt;=10;i++)


{


document.writeln (n + " x " + i + " = " + (n*i) + "%26lt;BR%26gt;");


}





%26lt;/SCRIPT%26gt;


%26lt;/BODY%26gt;


%26lt;/HTML%26gt;








Because you know HTML, I think you would find it better if you start learning from www.w3schools.com





Hope to see a great programmer soon (believe me its not as hard as some people think).





You may learn in this sequence:


1. Scripting Languages for Web (VB Script and JavaScript)


2. Visual Basic


3. C


4. C++


5. Java


6. Assembly





Welcome to the world of Programming.

Reply:There must be thousands. Check out the link that someone posted to wikipedia.





By the way, HTML is not a programming language. It is a markup language. It does not contain fundamental constructs of a programming language, like selection and iteration.
Reply:There are many many difficult programming languages but they can be classified into diffierent categories..ie web application shell programming graphics etc.....


I don't really consider HTML as a programming language....


For web programming, u can try PHP as it is open source or even JSP as these two are quite popular or even ASP...





Application wise, you can try C++ or java. These two are also rather popular.





Once u get the hang of programming, learning new languages will not be a problem. Its basically learning the syntax of each language. You can try the following website.


What is the best way to learn programming languages?

I am 28, an industrial engineer by training, and I have work experience in production/ inventory planning %26amp; control, and also supply chain. But I have been taking IT courses for about 2 years, and now also doing my further study in IT, because I want to switch to IT. I have learned few programming languages before, such as Java, C++, SQL Server, VB.NET, etc., but since I never use it in workplace I forgot them (though I can refresh my memory by re-learning). Now I am learning C#. I feel my programming background is still not enough for a professional job. What programs I need to understand (especially widely-demanded ones), and what is the effective way to learn?

What is the best way to learn programming languages?
The best way is to learn the basics then dive right in and make something. Think of what you want to make, if it's web then do create a web page. Build yourself a program... Anything. Go for something intermediate so you push your skills and have to research stuff as well.





As for where: www.lynda.com is a great resource, check it out.





Also, you're kind of all over on what you're learning. You have some web coding languages mixed in with some application code. You might want to go specific. I'd recommend web, as there's always a need for talented web developers. Which you might want to learn Ruby on Rails for. It's becoming very big with a lot of demand but not many people are good at it.
Reply:I would think doing a big project you will learn better. Create a storefront with N-tier design.





The problems you run into will help you learn it.
Reply:When learning Programming languages,


It is indeed self studying,


I mean after learning the basics u gotta find some books and tryout ur self.





Although u r not working on that field, u have to think of several projects on ur own and try to implement with a language u have learnt.





It helps very much not only to brush up ur knowledge, also helps to make decisions when u find bugs, further when u r interviewd to hire, u can say abt the projects u have done in addition to ur qualificatons.


Would like to learn web designing and programming, any ideas?

I hav a flair for web deigning and programming, though i hav no experience yet but wld like to know wut i'll need and any sites that can provide me with gud info on how to go about it. U can also contact me on my e-mail add so we can discuss better. Thanks

Would like to learn web designing and programming, any ideas?
Start from the beginning, and start small.





For example, you could get a SAMS 24 hour book on the subject you are interested in and practice with that. Then get bigger books that go more in depth.





Also, you could take a few classes at your local community college.





I got into programming slowly. About 6 years ago, I started learning MS Access because my department needed a small database. Then I got into VBA. THat led me to learn about Visual Basic and Visual Basic.Net. Then I became curious about c and c++. I finally settled with c#, and now I'm working on c++ again.





Try to find things that you need, where a program could help you. Simple things. Maybe a diet tracker, or a simple phonebook using MS Access and Visual Basic. Then use what you learned in the books and apply it to your project.





As for web development, I'm sure it's similar, although I didn't go that route.
