Learning How to Really Program/Code

S

Satan's Helper

Where can someone without a math or college background learn to code in a real language like java, C++, or C#.

I am sure I am not the first High School drop out looking to find training that is common sense written without big words and math related terminology.... Just a FYI, I have no issues writing in Trade Station's Easy Language but it is a very limited platform.....

I don't think you will ever truly learn how to REALLY program "without big words and math related terminology"-- They go hand-in-hand. And to truly appreciate it and understand mechanics you must have an understanding of "big words and math"

Books: Introduction to Java 7-8E, by Daniel Liang

a very good reference book and something I rely on to this day.

Don't feel intimidated by all the math stuff. Once you start liking it, it becomes a lot easier.

I've been slowly learning programming over the years. The one thing i've come to is that all the ideas.. Encapsulation, inheritance, classes, objects etc.. all make it possible to talk about programming paradigms.. its just the language.. One thing i had to accept is just to get over any idea that there was a way around learning the fundamentals..

read this.. and just navigate through all the links.. anything you don't know about Google it.. come back and ask any specific question... just keep asking questions..

you do not need math because computers are also high school drop outs. Computer can only do simple addition (add 1 to 0). Basic math skills and logic can get you going with no problem.

Programming is acquired skill that requires lots of practice - same as with car for example - you cannot learn driving by reading book only.

exactly, make sure in every tutorial you go through you actually do the code problem yourself, then mess around with it yourself.. I've learned alot using R programming.. You can drop a script you wrote or found and have it do something for you immediately.. Find a function pass it data, manipulate the data, find the mean, tinker.. thats how i've learned alot

Yes. Soooo true. Computers also have no processors for higher math (also known as FPU) - that is a myth among the educated lying. They also have no more complicated SMD operations, and do not even have encryoption in the processor.

Ups, they have.

Maybe, vicirek, it is time to retire your computer which somehow predates the year 1984.

My computer has a lot more in hardware than + and -.
