New Programmer Tips

My advice to beginners:

  • Learn about variables.

  • Learn about arithmetic.

  • Learn about strings and string operations.

  • Learn about printing to the screen and getting input.

  • Learn about loops and iteration.

  • Learn about functions (or subroutines. Yes, I am old.)

This should take you about a month of full-time study.

Now, GO WRITE A PROGRAM THAT DOES SOMETHING. ANYTHING.

Congratulations; you’re a programmer! Everything else is gravy; now you can spend your time learning to be a BETTER programmer.
