I started learning about computers about a year ago. I am 16 would i be hard for me to learn comp coding?

Answer 1

It really depends on what you wanted to do with it. If you want to make a career out of it, you are a bit behind. There are numerous application written with different programming languages and tools. Sticking with just one language would only give you very limited career path.

A good indication of how good of a programmer you will be is how well you do on geometry and trigonometric proofs, which is fairly similiar to the thinking of building codes for a program. If you are not sure, you can always try coding anyway and see how you like it. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

no, it just takes time. Be patient and stick with it. You are not behind as others have mentioned and have plenty of time to learn to program and make a profession out of it.

First you should try and decide what it is you want to do. for instance, are you more interested in learning how to program websites or desktop applications? If you don't know yet, try both of them to see which you like better.

Being a good programmer is not about which or how many languages you know, it is about using the best coding practices when building your applications. The syntax of various languages are easy (that is what code reference books are for), learning and using good programming practices will take years. You can do it and have plenty of time to learn.

if you want to be a career programmer you should pursue a computer science degree. If you are more interested in the business side of the Information Technology world, you should persue a degree in Computer information Systems.

a very basic way to tinker around with code is to download microsoft's Quick Basic (QB) and buy a cheap book to practice with. QB will teach you the fundamentals of programming and help prepare you for some of the more sophisticated languages. Whatever language you choose to start with, I suggest it be a sequential language (older technology) because the concepts a bit easier to grasp. Borland's C is also fine to learn on.

Microsoft also has some free tools you can download to learn play around with some of the more modern languages out there. You can find free versions of Visual Basic, C++, C# (pronounced "see sharp") and J+ (Microsoft's rip off of Sun's Java). Go to microsoft's website and search for "Visual Studio Express" and download the free programming software.

If you really want to try something fun when you are ready, download microsoft's "XNA Express" software from Microsoft.com. This is a new development package Microsoft is releasing for free to allow everyone to create games for the xbox 360 and for PCs. Eventually this will be fun, but I would take a few classes in C# first before you experiment with it.

Good Luck and have fun.

Answer 3

I learned it! so, no, it should be learnable. However, not everyone is a programmer.

Programming is not about coding, but about how to think: If you can systematically break down a process into the necessary parts (pseudocoding), and then further break down those parts into sub-parts, then further break that down into smaller pieces, then you shouldn't have a problem with it.

One professor told me in the first programming class that he was not going to teach programming, however, he was going to teach us just what I laid out above........he said that LOGIC, which is in the previous paragraph, does not change and therefore can be applied to almost every programming language........"Logic never changes, only the syntax does"

Give it a go........you can always use knowledge.

Answer 4

Not at all, in fact, now would be a good time for you start up and read on it - get a starter program that would let you get familiarised with the terms, because they are key to controlling the system. Not only would it be a great profession, but the demand for database analysts won't be going away any time soon. Good for you for starting up on what you'd like to get into for the future!

Answer 5

Just by a language book, read it and do what it tells you! Start with C+.

Answer 6

advice: dont waste your time learning microsoft ONLY languages like visual basic or C#, learn only ANSI certified or open source languages like: ansi C/C++ Java, PHP, perl,

if you go the microsoft way then you're trusting them with your future and limiting yourself in what you can program for (i.e. wasting brain cells that will only be used to help microsoft and not YOU).

I dont have time to go into all those languages now, but the best one to learn first is C/C++, then figure out where you want to go with it. good luck, don't ever tell yourself you can't do something.

Answer 7

that is not too previous due in any respect; i did no longer %. up a guitar till i grew to become into 18 and found out adequate to be in a band interior 3 months in basic terms using guitar magazines and music books and enjoying alongside with guitar tab i got here upon on the cyber web.

Answer 8

no offence, but it would depend if ur smart enough. Or if u r good with computers or not, since uve benn learning about them for a year, u shuld b able to.

Answer 9

should'nt be a problem for you but like all things in life it takes hard work to be good
