How to study to become a software programmer?

How to study to become a software programmer? I took a few programming classes, but I feel like programming is something strange. It is out or reach? Is there an easy or right way to study programming? Is it true that most programmers often get free codes from internet instead of starting programming from scratch? Is it true that when you study a programming class, you have to learn from book, and also how to use the software to compile the program? Why are the courses of programming classes in University are often hard or out of reach? Do you know some books which could help me to study programming?

Take introductory programming classes at a college or extension college offering C#. It helps to have a mentor.

Classes meeting once per week and prividing you with assignments are usually best. Once you master the underlying concepts, you should be able to learn on your own from internet sites, magazines, and books.





-I took a few programming classes, but I feel like programming is something strange. It is out or reach?





It may be if you are not inclined to master mathematics and have a passion for creating software. If you don't like it, try something else. You want to do something that is inspiring to you.





-Is there an easy or right way to study programming?





There's nothing like doing assignments and writing lots of code. C# is the most important emerging language. Java is also popular and well established on multiple platforms.





-Is it true that most programmers often get free codes from internet instead of starting programming from scratch?





Using a working module as a basis for code is time saving. It can be used as part of a proof of concept, but should not be incorporated directly in the final product.





-Is it true that when you study a programming class, you have to learn from book, and also how to use the software to compile the program?





-Most instuctors provide the information in lectures, but that's the least effective teaching modality. You should be able to learn from books and the Internet. You can copy programs from a book, but you must learn concepts that you can apply to your own work. This comes after years of practice.





-Why are the courses of programming classes in University are often hard or out of reach?





In my opinion, if you have the proper foundation, they are easy. If you have difficulty with math or abstract concepts, you may need to do more class work in preparation.





-Do you know some books which could help me to study programming?





Try any step by step book in C#. You will need a current Windows operating system and you can download the C# 2005 Express edition from Microsoft at no cost to you.
Reply:The reason that programming is often hard and that programs are not written well, is simply because it is hard. The hard part comes long before you ever sit down and write your first line of code. Anyone can bang out code, and with todays 3%26amp;4GL's many can write decent applications, but to consistently write software that meets the true requirements of the solution space is a monumental challenge.

Goto school for it.

Maybe programming isn't for you then?

If you want any type of job you're going to need a degree. So only way to study is to do what the school tells you to do.

Only if you're just starting out as anyone that knows how to code will write there own code faster than tracking down others. Later on you will make your own codes that you can rob for one project to the next.

Because the jobs are hard to find. They must be hard. You're going to be lucky to even find a job in programming anymore.
