Computer Programming (First Time Programming)

1 points by cjc18 16y ago

Hi Computer Software Developers I have been getting into programming for the past few months however school has got in the way. I was wondering if anyone has any links or pdf files that I could use to help me with computer programming. It helps me if the words are color coordinated.Which language would be the best to learn if I am going to college and wanting to be a Software developer? IN COLOR PLEASE!!!!!! Thanks!

Scribd has a number of books (not downloadable, but just as useful). If you're visual, check out the "Head First" titles. http://www.scribd.com/search?cat=redesign&q=programming+OR+%22head+first%22&x=0&y=0 http://www.scribd.com/search?cat=redesign&q=programming+... Or use google. http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3Apdf+inurl%3Aprogramming#q=ext:pdf+(inurl:programming+OR+inurl:java+OR+inurl:c%2B%2B+OR+inurl:php+OR+inurl:python+OR+inurl:ruby+OR+inurl:perl)+AND+(inurl:learn) http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3Apdf+inurl%3Aprogrammi... And there are torrents, etc. Or, just buy it from Amazon, BookPool (well that used to be a better deal years ago), etc. (Don't do anything illegal. Pay for what you read, otherwise good authors won't write anymore.)

  I totally agree with you, I always pay what the authors want for the books that they write. I am a visual learner so thanks!

  Honestly, it doesn't matter. Pick something and stick with it for a little while when you first get started. Everything you learn will transfer to other languages in some way. In college you will generally have to use a number of languages. My recommendation would be Python: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ http://learnpythonthehardway.org/
