Hi all when i first come to this site it was to get advice on books to teach me about my pc so i could go on to more advance stuff like programming, i have visual studio but no idear what to do with it so it collects dust.now im half way through mike meyers a+ i would like some advice on programming ie where to start which books would be good for an absolute beginner.
I know some of you are going to say finish the a+ book first, but i dont want to, i will finish it . programming has always intrested me but i never got round to doing any thing about it. no its not about the money its about the challange. so over to you now, i want to self train with books.
Cheers Martin
PS i hope i hav'nt posted in the wrong place again
Depends if you just wanna dip your toe in the water or if you wanna go staight for C#.
You can get Visual Studio Express C++, works fine for C also.
Otherwise look at the Head First C# book and Visual Studio C# Express, I mentioned it in another thread.
You don't really need a stepping stone to C#, you can learn it direct if you like, might make life easier to learn simple procedural coding of command line apps before you learn all the other stuff, thats what I did.
C is a programming language, so yes you will need C to be able to programme in C.
I studied C++ at uni which is really and higher version of C.

Ok cheers for that i wont bother loading visual studio just yet, best go look for soft ware for C to go along with the book recomended. More expence, never mind.at least the book was cheap

Im going to go with the book in your first thread being an absolute beginner, and we will take it from there i am very keen on programming but want to walk before i run. good to see i can get advice from CF on this matter.
I believe i have visual express in the package i have, will have a look later
Nobody's asked what you would like to program in the future - web apps? office apps? games?
Look into what you would like to code first so that your efforts will also be focussed on the techniques for developing the app as well as learning programming itself. This will also direct you to the correct language to learn.

Depending on which version of Visual Studio you have you should have all the components for such an app right there!
However - a word of warning - DON'T do anything about the financial side of such an app without a *lot* of experience. Getting it wrong could be very expensive for your company!

Hello again
dont worry i wont dive in the deep end. I think i will try some simple programes first nothing that involves payments but if,or should i say when it come to the online program i will seek advice about security.
Hec you can order that print online then.
I know some of you are going to say finish the a+ book first, but i dont want to, i will finish it .

If you're wanting to go into programming, there's really no need for you to continue to torture yourself with the A+... it's not that helpful for programmers.
