@ The Coders

[Memory]

Alright coders, next week I'm taking "Introduction to Programming" as one of my classes. I reeeeally wanna do it because bein a programmer is one of my dream jobs. But, I don't know what to expect because I've never coded before. Anyone have an idea on what is going to happen?

I'm taking basically the same class in my school for this year, and we started off programming with C++, which is, according to my teacher anyway, one of the safest languages to start off with, and the actual material can be learned easily, well at least I think its easy. You will have to pay attention though, as minor problems will render the entire program inoperable.

Learning to code is a loooong journey, and to be completely honest, a school course isn't really the best place to start in my opinion, but hey, whatever works.

Really, one of the best tips I can give you is to learn how to be organized while programming early. One of the bad habits I did fall into while teaching myself was not using code comments, not having my files in orderly systems, not having decent naming conventions. Make sure that when you're done with your code, it's something you can come back to and easily read the next day. Make sure every part of it is clear so that it's easy for someone else to read it and figure out what it does.

Examine other peoples' code whenever you have the chance to as well, there might be something you can learn from it.

Thank youuu.

I'f you've got the money for the course, iD Tech (indernaldrive.com) They have some really great instructors, and a good course to start learning to code. Although, whether you learn C++ or Java depends on the insturctor.
