What's better to learn about computer programming?

I'm studing computer engineering and I want help to find good things to learn more because computer programming has many things and I don't know what's better? my language is java but I don't know completely about it. I know a little aboat asp and html.

What's better to learn about computer programming?
It really depends on what you want to do. If you want to write applications for businesses, the general trend it toward C# or Visual basic using ASP.Net. If you are more into writing graphic applications/ games, Java is great. If you want to write programs for industrial environments, Cobol is still frequently used. Finally, if you want to actually design computer components (which you might if you are studying Computer Engineering) C++ is good and Cobol and Assembly are also good choices. I hope that helps. Good Luck!
Reply:in my opinion, the best program for computer programming is Microworlds (about $300.00 for the full program)
Reply:The best thing to learn is HOW to program... HOW to figure out what the requirements are, HOW to arrive at a high-level design, HOW to convert that design into more detailed instructions, and HOW to test your code. None of that requires any knowledge of the programming language. Which language you use is trivial compared to all the other steps.





Personally, i use a technique called "step-wise reduction" to go from high-level design to detailed design. In its simplest form, every program starts out just about the same:


"While (more) do (work);" The trick is to figure out what "more" and "work" are.





and test test test. With the advent of xUnit (JUnit for java, ***** for c, etc), there is NO EXCUSE to not test your code thoroughly. In fact, many programmers write the tests before the code! Then they write the code and if the tests fail, they know the code is wrong.





XP (eXtreme Programming) is also being used.
Reply:First learn the basics of programming.. Take one language (C) learn it properly, learn basic data structures and read some good books (Art of Computer Programming by Knuth). After this exercise learning any language should be very easy... (Its like yet another language)





Some good books i suggest are...


1. C Programming by K%26amp;R (Its too good)..


2. Art of Computer programming by knuth


3. Data structures by Thenenbaun
