I studied Industrial and labour Relation in School and i want to change my career, i love to be a software programming, how do i start and how do i go about it. I don't mind what it takes.

Your first step depends on the programming language that provoke this "love".

what programming language are you familiar with?

Java programming and sql server

I can help u start up with Java

go to www.4shared.com
you can download a lot of books to learn your preferred programming language from there. I personally like and recommend the books published by WROX. Their titles usually start with 'Beginining " for example Beginining Javascript(javascript is a scripting language and is not in any way related to java).

Also you'll need a good laptop with the latest OS available (please, dispel the thought of using Windows XP because of this lame excuse-"Vista is too slow". You have to keep up with the latest, thats what programming is about). if you don't have a laptop, you'll be deceiving yourself.

Generally, you'll have to really love programming. You must have a problem solver atitude and problem finder atitude(very important). Looking for errors in code could go on for days and then you'll find that you missed a single semi-colon. programmers also scream alot (but that one is not an important quality o)
