I want to learn programming but i am dumb. how should i go about it?

hello. i want to learn programming, but im not the smart type. not good in math, soso in english, not the brightest lamp generally.





i dont have a background in programming. i tried looking around at java and c languages, but i dont get the idea with all the { ; ... and all these codes?





please share some tips, sites where i can understand these things from the very beginning. also, please share some places where i can easily understand things like strings, and all those terms. they look extremly foreign to me...





im lost please help

I want to learn programming but i am dumb. how should i go about it?
How about learning something you might use? Jumping in to C, C++, Python, Java. Your looking at some heavy OOP!





Now looking at something like javascript, you may laugh but it holds some key principles you can start off with. And can always get you thinking about how OOP can be put to use.





Learning strings, arrays etc. is ok, but if your not going to use, you probally won't learn it.

I know its web development but javascript is very light weight and you never know you might find it useful.





Also look at PHP it holds the same principles as C, C++ just different structure.





Practical php -

Now that you understand some of the basics you can jump into more complex OOP, which youll find quite comfortable knowing PHP.





You don't need to go in depth, just get the idea. And all you need is a interest in the area :P
Reply:you aer not dum. you just think it is hard. get into a a teck school about it. if it is still hard then stay after class and ask the teacher. REMBER There is no stupid qustion.
Reply:If you are interested in programming check out the Scratch Environment. http://scratch.mit.edu This is a visual programming language where you can experiment with the different control structures that are the basis for programming.





Above all Scratch is fun. You will get instant feedback as you learn by experimenting. The Web site also has alot of examples for you to download and change. Changing other peoples programs is a great way to learn.
Reply:Start easy. Maybe even some qbasic, then move to something similar like VB6 or VB .Net and eventually get to c
Reply:Well, if you think you're dumb and you have no confidence, we can give you all the tips we have but you're not going to learn.





Start easy and work your way up. That will build confidence. You don't need to be good at english. Programming is a different language. Your deficit in math could be a problem.
Reply:check out programming for dummies
Reply:No one is stupid. We all have intelligence in different areas. If you want to learn programming-you can!
Reply:You have to have a good sense of logic to be able to program. If you don't, then programming is really not for you. How about start with "Programming for dummies", and see if you can grasp some simple concepts? Or take a class, if you can't understand there, then definitely not your cup of tea.
Reply:1. I don't mean to be nasty but get over it. This sort of stuff gets easier as you work at it. When you start by saying, "I'm too stupid" you are discouraging yourself from doing the work you've gotta do. So change your attitude.





2. Take a hike down to your local community college. If you are past your first or second year of high school, there are definitely introductory courses you should be ready to take or audit. If not, there may be some. And you will find yourself in a structured environment where you can do the work you need to do. After a class on computers I definitely recommend taking a hard look at the math you've been using and taking math class.





I don't mean to sound too establishment but this is a great way to get started. Don't underestimate it. As you get confidence you can strike off on your own.
Reply:What you need to do is get started. Find a "Hello World" tutorial for Java. When you do that you will start to get an idea. I think that downloading Eclipse is probably the best way to start in Java.
Reply:Try a different approach. Take a look at web programming. There are some very good books on html, php and mysql. This is a very powerful combination. There are also very good online manuals. There are some books which include a free version of the Apache Web server and php and mysql, also several free downloads. This means you can install a test server on your machine and put in some practice. From the way your question is written, I don't think your English is at all bad, maths is not too much of a problem, for normal programming operations you can use calculator from accessories to do any actual maths, and for decimal to hexadecimal or binary conversion. You tend to improve as you use maths more, but you need little for most web use. This can be a good starting point for other languages, as none of it is quite as restrictive in format as C based and java programming. I was forced into learning all this when a web designer tried to rip of one of my clients, leaving them short of an urgent web based database system. Within one month I had a user and client database, and the beginnings of a production control system running. No fancy flash or similar, but reliable and fast. All done in notepad on Windows and Kwrite or Vi on Linux. It is now their international agent, customer and supplier ordering, design and production system, and their production in the UK is being controlled by a Manager in New Zealand.
Reply:TRY GOING TO COMPUSA AND BUYING A PROGRAMMING FOR DUMMIES BOOK IT TEACHES YOU THE BASICS OF PROGRAMMING SO YOU COULD UNDERSTAND IT IN BETTER TERMS THAN JUST CODES N THINGS THE BOOK IS ALSO INEXPENSIVE BUT ONCE YOU START WITH ONE YOU WILL KEEP GOING GOOD LUCK.
Reply:Yeah, depending on your win version go with qb, or another version of basic. And see how it goes.





YABasic is extremely easy.
