Hi guys. I would like to know how to get into computer programing.1. Select a language to learn.
2. Get a compiler for your language - most languages have a free
compiler available on the net.
3. Find a tutorial for your language on the net.
Alas, that is how too many people "get into computer programming"
nowadays, which is perhaps why so many people are so bad at it.
Being good a computer progrmaming depends on a number of factors. For some
people, the above would not work for them, they would need to take a class.
For some a class would not work, they would need to read a book. For some,
they just need to try.
Reguardless, you should get a good book for your language, generally the
thicker the better, but not all languages are equal.
Not sure about "the thicker the better". Bookshops usually groan under
the weight of enormous programming language books but if you actually
open one they're often incredibly turgid, noddy and full of errors.
The best C book by a country mile is K&R, which is not very thick at
all.
