Startup and Practice

Post by KhaosWolf » Mon Sep 15, 2003 12:44 am

Since this forum is swarmed with coders, was just curious as to how I could start up with coding myself.

I have taken a course at high school, and we covered basic c++ commands and all that shit, but is there "guides" i could read to go further into the programming world?

Recommendations would be great.

and i've always wondered, how is it a programmer "practices" programming?

AND! What program do you use to do your programming/coding?

I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.

A search online will show a number of online tutorials and references for just about any language. I usually have one of those open anytime I'm working on code, since they tend to be a lot clearer than Microsofts built in help, which assumes you are familiar with MS terminology.

As for practice.. you can either do the sample problems in the tutorials, or decide on a small project you'd like a program for and work on building and debugging it.
