Hello . How exactly can I make money as a programmer or webmaster.
I want to learn programming but I want to know how I really can make money from it before I proceed .
I’m going to have to spend a lot of money purchasing a PC and data to download tutorials.
Anyone should please enlighten me how I can make money as a programmer or webmaster.
How do you all programmers and webmasters heremake your money ?
Thanks

First of all, the easiest way to make Money programming is to work for some Company and Code their websites, Applications, e.t.c or Working for companies online. Upwork.com is a site that I love for that.

And secondly, if you want to make your OWN money coding, don't put your mind on actually monetizing it. Put your time into learning things, and build something That would benefit a lot of people, when you've seen that your work is actually gaining some ground, you can then monetize it. But this will most likely be passive as you only do most of this in your free time.
Think Creatively.

Codecademy.com OR goto freecodecamp because their learning is truly interactive. And btw you NEED to spend enough time learning and practicing one Concept. Don't rush things and do more practicing than learning because it would be fun when things work than reading stuff over and over again.

Due to the numerous "i want to start programming, which language should i start with" threads on this board i decided to create a thread that will address this issue. I am not a wonderful writer and i won't say i know it all but i will try. I urge every one on this board to correct me where i err an also contribute in whatever way you can to make this thread worth it. I will try as much as possible not to be biased in this write up.

I am not going to go into detail in defining what programming is because i will assume before entering this thread you should already know what programming is. But in summary programming is the act of creating whatever you want with your brain and computer programming is the act of creating whatever you want with your brain and a computer. You can read more from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

Programmers could also be called software programmers, software developers and other big-big names you can think of.

Feel free to ask your questions, i will try and answer the ones i can my Ogas in the house will help me with those i can't answer

Please every Programmer should try as much as possible to check on this thread once in a while to help answer some questions Newbies would like to ask.

It depends on what you wanna develop. If its mobile Apps- Objective C, Java e.t.c. For Desktop Applications go for Java, Phyton, C++. For Web Application, go for PHP, Javascript, Ruby, Phyton e.t.c-
Thanks

A Note To All Software/Computer Programming Aspirants.

Generally, the language you start with doesn't have to be the one with Most Income, or Professional... The thing is, it's about what you understand.

If you Understand C, or C++, or R, or PHP, Ruby, ECMAScript, JavaScript, Java, ,Objective-C, Kotlin, Go, Python, it doesn't matter, it's about what you understand, and can build with, and also most importantly, the Language that is diverse and efficient. Almost every Popular Language is Efficient enough that you can get the hang of it and a good path into other languages, because a Language would not be Popular if it is Useless... Right?

So try out the Hello World Syntaxes for a Lot of Languages and see which one Fits you and one thing, a lot of Languages are Similar, mostly from the Fact that they have an Identical Parent Language. Python is Based on C, and Ruby is Extremely Related to Python because it is based on it, So, what am I emphasizing?, [s]If you Learn C, it would be an extremely easy Path to Python, then to Ruby, OR if you learn Python first It would be easy to get into Ruby and a little challenging but not Impossible to get into C from those.[/s].

It's all about what you can build with AND another thing, your dedication to learning. Programming is not like Medicine, or Law, where you get experienced to a Certain point that you generally stopped learning, and all you get is Money and Money, in Programming, you never EVER stop learning.

I don write tire grin

Thats why you need a good background of maths. Programming centers in Math< Problem solving> and Critical thinking.

You're not being clear enough, "Programming and Web development" are not quantifiable, which do you want to specialise in
