Rizstar: Helo JavaniaRead the thread from the beginning. Decide on a language. Get books and read up. Start coding. honestly i don't think you need another formal institution to learn programming considering you're already a CSC graduate |

solomon201: ...Bottom line: which eva u choose be good @ it. Its not d language but rather the individual. You scored a bull's eye there. Three gbosa for you, Javanian and the rest of the crew. Gbosa! Gbosa!! Gbosa!!! |

dulaman: Javanian said anybody with question should ask here. Now people have asked loads of questions no answers.yet you say you will delete any thread opened about it. Most of the questions that are being asked have been answered in the first two pages of this thread. Kindly read below; Javanian: Now the Big Question is: Which Language Should i Start With?? Also, bear in mind that these experts need to conduct ongoing research in order to give accurate answers. 3 Likes |

ciphoenix: where?reading the thread doesnt help you decide which language to learn.thats some people are asking those with experience should advice them based on what they intend to do. I was enjoying the thread until some peep came and start arguing which lang. is better leaving us confused.there are questn above whch answers wher not given. |

I was enjoying the thread until some peep came and start arguing which lang. is better leaving us confused.there are questn above whch answers wher not given. I agree with you to an extent. There is a saying that, "too many cooks spoil the broth". Meaning: advise from too people will only get newbies more confused. My advise to you is: listen to Javanian and two or three othersn then close your ears to others. However, I feel the quote below might be helpful.

@Javinian, It is believed that this class (thread) was intended for newbies. But in my humble opinion I see it as an error to have thrown the class open to every Tom, Tony and Harry. In a situation where everyone is trying to be a MASTER here, the end result might be chaos and the situation might get out of control. In the light of the foregoing, I hereby suggest as follows: 1. The tutorials should be limited to only the highlighted programs in your introduction. 2. The teachers in this class room (thread) should not be more than 5 experts. 3. The newbies like myself should nominate 4 other teachers (experts) to join your team. And if they are more, you will have the prerogative to select from the nominated list. *To start with I nominate, 'WhiZTiM'. 4. I feel we should also have a dictionary section where certain terminology will be explained. While my suggestio may not be the best or go down well with all, I simply look forward to more focussed lectures. Remember, every class has its syllabus. You guys are doing a great job. 6 Likes |

Brains1313: 1. The tutorials should be limited to only the highlighted programs in your introduction. aren't they??
i don't think they are any teachers here, we are more like course advicers and i doubt we are more than 5.
i appreciate your efforts towards making this thread better but i can't tell them to stop their contributions, they are only trying to help...and you are new to the programming section so you don't know most of this guys. Most of them are wonderfull programmers just that not everyone is always willing to help and some of them get over ambitious sometimes...
Really Nice idea! I would see if i can start one although i wish someone else could start one because i'm quite busy now, we would all try to contribute. But for now feel free to ask your questions here...
Thanks for the encouragement. I think the problem started when different people started suggesting different languages. I know it can really get frustrating when this person says this and another person says that. I tried preventing this scenario from the onset but all my warnings fell on deaf ears. I would try and be more strict with the initial rules of this thread, once again thanks for your contribution... 1 Like |

lordZOUGA: I thought the aim was to point people in the right direction. not to teach them programming and you thought right... Like he has said the aim of this thread is to get you started, if you have any problems in your programming journey feel free to ask your question here and with time you can even create a new thread and ask your question... |

dulaman: Javanian said anybody with question should ask here. Now people have asked loads of questions no answers.yet you say you will delete any thread opened about it. lol...i ignored this comment when i first saw it because you are new here. Before now, any ''i want to learn programming'' thread ended up in two ways... OPTION 1: This was usually the best and most likely option, in this case your thread would have no reply. Beleive me you might feel bad but it was way better that option 2. OPTION 2: The thread gets a lot of replies where different people come with different ideas and you get even more confused than you were. And in some cases the thread even ends up in a language war (it's quite a while we had one). 2 Likes |

Those wars where there's never a winner and always ends in "thread closed" |

Hi javanian & co, pls can u explain to me which one is MATLAB itz purpose nd function. Thanks.......... |
Re: I Want To Learn Programming. Which Language Should I Start With? by hackMob: 7:02pm On Feb 26, 2013 |
When it comes to the point of selecting which language to learn first. U must first understand that all these languages are design to work differently. I mean u must understand we av web designing and desktop programming. U must first decide where u are going, are u willing to be a web designer or a desktop programmer. After that then will u knw ђã†̥ language to go for. So wats ur choice web or desktop programming? 5 Likes |

ciphoenix:check out www.javasoft.com it redirects to oracle website but for the java page! Select java SE(standard edition)! The latest is jdk7 update whateva!!! Please when u want to download, don't choose JRE as u won't b able to compile wit jre but select jdk(java development kit) it is bundled with jre!!! Don't b tempted wit d size of jre and think its d same!!!! Happy coding!!!! |

WhiZTiM:Codeblocks is an Interactive Development Environment for cross-platform.That is perfect and why would previous commenter prior to your response be looking for a compiler when there is cross-platform IDE as Codeblocks which can invoke a compiler. I am going to try this Codeblocks out myself to see its capabilities. |

Joezik: Please can you guyz educate us on the compiler for various programming language and if possible where to download.Seriously, I don't buy the idea of often times downloading compilers for different programming languages when cross-platform IDE can do just basically everything for me. |
Re: I Want To Learn Programming. Which Language Should I Start With? by Nobody: 2:26am On Mar 08, 2013 |
adexsimply: its an high level language which has many in built functions among which MAThematical computation is one..The truth is that your have to purchase it from the MATLAB website before you can install it on your system. I have it on my Linux operating system purchased by my friend for me. It is great as an interactive package for it enormous numeric computation ability, toolbox, algorithms rendering and GUI invocation. Why would I have to pay a huge amount of money to get a software with a cross-platform problem when an open source like Sage, Spyder, etc can do the same and are easily ported? 1 Like |
