Am also intereested in learning programming, website development,design. But I have one question is it compulsory that i attend computer school or i should just learn it online?

Someone should please answer this.

Html
Css
JavaScript
Css frameworks (bootstrap, bulma, materialize)
JavaScript frontend frameworks (react, Vue, angular)


This should be your path. If you choose to venture into other languages or backend its all up to you when you have conquered these above.

Also learn to use Css and javascript libraries for various stuff.

Yeah libraries are different from frameworks.

I'm also a beginner, I started with HTML just over a week ago and now moving on to CSS,I intend learning JavaScript next

electroTech:
PHP

Why would you jump to PHP without learning HTML? like starting Primary 1 without going to KG.

Start from HTML, CSS AND J QUERY, they are not programming languages but a better start for you to learn JAVASCRIPT, PHP and the rest of them.

MASTERCHIEF0847:


Start with python. Easy to learn.

I heard this python is very difficult o
Bro are you good with it

How old are you?

did you attend computer school or did you start by learning it online?

It depends on what you want to achieve with what you want to learn

MasterGramnet:
Mayb U Want To Learn How To Design A Website, Then U've To Start With Html, When U're Done With That, U Move To CSS And Then Gradually To The Others. That's It.

HTML and CSS are not really programming languages. real programming starts from JavaScript.

Depends on factors. Though most programmers in Nigeria are self taught but it'd require extreme discipline, dedication and willingness to go on. Personally this is the best route, just gum yourself to a seasoned programmer to help you through rough patches.

A school could provide you with mentoring and guidance but your learning could be extended so they keep you paying fees to learn more.

Depends on how sharp ur brain is.. I learnt HTML and PHP in a programming institute. but I learnt CSS and JavaScript online. PHP is somehow complicated, so you need someone to teach you in person.

Start with Php, it easier

I don't know why people say Python is easy

What Is Compulsory Is That U'll Nid To Learn To Be Able To Do It Ursef. Those Mentions Are Ways Of Learning, U Can As Well Decide To Get A Book & Learn. Or Beta Still, U Can Send Me A Mail For Online Training If U're In 4it. chuks.tg2@yahoo.com --- My Charges I Believe Are Moderate Considering The Expenses During The Training.

U can learn it online

I intend going into programmming, web design, development, etc I want to know a good place to start from also?

No, if you can motivate yourself, if you've internet and access to right resources.
YOu can learn on your own and also, make friends with programmers or join forums to get helps (stackoverflow is an example).

Yes, if you cant motivate yourself. They say, iron sharpeneth iron.

I'm learning it online,using the application "Sololearn"
I save the courses offline and then learn when I'm less busy
The app asks you questions after each explanation so you actually flow along with it.

And also I do watch videos on YouTube.

Please sir is it compulsory i attend a computer school in order for me to learn it , and is learning it online possible ?

If you read my post very closely, you'll see that I mentioned Coursera. It is a free online learning platform.

It is not compulsory to attend computer school unless you can afford it.

let me advise you,

all these jaga-jaga learning styles will not help you. go to udemy and buy a course and focus on the area you want to specialize in(web, app, data science etc). then you can use sololearn, youtube, books etc side by side. don't waste time.

Depends on your field of interest

Op this poster I am quoting has given you all the answers you need. He has some other suggestions that are useful too. The answer he gave you took me 1year plus to stumble to an industry expert Hanson Johnson who gave me the same advice. Case closed. The only thing I will add is anyone you choose to learn, focus on it and avoid the temptation of trying to know other ones until you have achieved your aim with the one you are learning .

Elijahrona:
You're getting it wrong. Programming is best learnt when you've got a purpose for it. Ask yourself why you want to learn programming. Do you want to make an app or a webpage or a program for a machine? You've got to be specific with why you're learning programming because different languages have their different purposes. For App, I suggest Java, Kotlin, JavaScript (using react native), etc. For webpage, I'd suggest JavaScript, CSS, HTML, etc or PHP.

To answer your question, HTML is the easiest to learn followed by CSS (my personal opinion though). I still stand that you know why/what you want to program.

(Some will say HTML CSS aren't languages though)

I Kno, And It's As The Same Tym. U Don't Drag A Beginer To School Syllabus To Explain Things. Programming Is A Universal Term For All PL. He Mentioned That He Intends To Build Website Like Nairaland & I Went Straight Telling Which Language Shul He Start With. That's Is.

what if i wanna go into web development? The truth is i wanna go into web design, development , front end and back end developmennt, even how to program a machine sef , i just need someone to point me in the right direction to start from

Since you don't have knowledge about any before.
First, choose a path, Programming is different from web design & development.
No one will choose your path for you, decide on that first.

Web design & development - start with HTML => CSS => PHP & MYSQL

Programming: you can start with Python or JAVA.
