Computer Programming is very interesting to learn. You can learn computer programming at any age. Employers prefer your skills and not your age. If you can program good code then you can easily get a job online or in the office. You can also learn programming for fun and passing your time in learning something new.
In today’s topic I will discuss how you can learn computer programming.
1. Start with basics:
Start learning basic building blocks of programming e.g. What is a variable, what is a loop in programming, what is conditional statements etc.
2. Keep interest in computers:
You have to take interest in using a computer. Think about how different things work on the computer. For example, how a website is developed, how a calculator is made etc. By doing interest in the computer, you get passion in starting programming.
3. Choose a programming path:
You can choose a programming path. Like do you want to build websites or mobile apps or desktop software. Then choose a programming language that you want to master.
4. Fix time for learning:
Allocating a specific amount of time like 1 hour is learning programming daily. In this time period you can follow programming tutorials, watch programming videos and do programming practice.
5. Make mini project:
On the weekend, plan to make a mini programming project like building a Todo list app, creating a calculator, or making a small webpage. When you start building a mini project then your programming skills will improve rapidly.
6. Showcase your work:
You can join a programming community like a programming Facebook group where you can show your work and ask people to rate your work. This will give you inspiration in doing programming.
7. Watch other people’s code:
You can also learn programming by following other people’s tutorials and videos and see how they write code.
8. Use VS Code editor:
VS Code is a free programming editor which gives you many features that can help in doing coding easily.
9. Problem solving:
If you face any errors in your program then use Google to find a solution to it. Divide your programming problem into steps. It’s a very challenging to resolve programming errors. Do this with patience and at some point in time you will solve the error.
10. Programming inspiration:
Follow some good programmers and tutors on the Udemy, YouTube and GitHub website. This will help you learn programming fast.
Conclusion:
Learning programming is a fun and interesting habit. You will enjoy doing programming. Don’t skip learning programming if you face issues in doing programming. Do programming daily that will make you better every day.
