Learn How To Code

Learn How To Code

Learning how to code can be a very hard task at times especially when you first start and getting into it but luckily there is many resources to which you can utilize now days to make your learning experience that much more easier.

STEP 1

Firstly, when taking those first steps into the world of IT and coding, you need to start building your knowledge on the theoretical aspect of things so that you can get a good understanding of what programming is and how it works and the reason for using programming, basically understanding what is programming.

I recommend using the book shown below:

It is a simple book which is easy to understand, fun to read and takes a more casual approach to understanding the key points to programming.

There are many other great books to use and if you not comfortable with this one, you can easily find many great books to learn but main goal is to get your theory behind programming.

Without knowing your theory, it is like pulling the trigger of a loaded gun whilst looking into the chamber or shooting yourself in the foot.

STEP 2

Next step of learning how to code is after understanding what programming is, to choose a specific language you want to code in. Yes, programming has different languages to use.

Now when choosing a language, there are many languages to choose from, a wide variety, some older than others, some much more complicated than most.

I suggest you start off with something that is easier to understand and will be able to give a good step to understanding how to code.

My top two recommendations is:

-          Visual Basics

-          Python

These two are the simplest of languages that I have found so far but you can do more research and see which you feel more comfortable with and what you want to do and get out of your coding but I strongly suggest these two as these helped me get an understanding of programming and made it simple and understandable.

STEP 3

The third step of learning how to code is to put it into practice.

Practice is key to understanding code and getting accustomed to how it all goes together and you tend to pick it up faster as well as the theory starts to get much clearer.

Please whatever you do, don’t be lazy to practice cos this will help you tremendously and give you a great start to understanding programming. Even if it is an hour a day, just make the time and practice all that you learn and you shall see how easy coding will become for you.

If you go with my recommendation on programming languages, then I suggest using Visual Studios which can be found below:

You can use it for many languages and it is easy to use and a great programming software which I love to use.

STEP 4

The last but not final step is to research. Google is an amazing tool at your disposal which has a variety of resources to help you learn how to code. Many website show you step by step how to code as well as breaking each aspect down for you.

Another great thing is that on the internet, there is many amazing communities which are always ready to help and assist you in your journey to learning how to code so don’t be shy and interact and view all the wonderful and insightful information available to you.

I hope this has helped you get a good understanding of how to learn how to code and is beneficial to you.

Good luck on your venture and you enjoy the magic of the world of IT.
