Become a Programmer Part I

People often ask me how so quickly become a programmer?

To answer this it can be a lot of factors that affect depending on your current situation.

Here I am not going to answer all of your conditions are different it. I can only share the experience and try to remember how I began to have a desire to learn, and practice it until I can be a programmer in the company, create their own software and then sell it to the customer until I teach programming.

Inevitably first is you have to have a strong desire. This strong desire is your basic capital that will face any difficulties you might encounter in your journey to learn programming.

OK. Now I'm trying to remember how I learned self-taught program without a teacher. Why I chose the path of self-taught without a teacher? At the time I first learned programmer course is expensive goods not covered by my bag as a student.

Frankly I've love with computers since college. But it does not complete if not mastered one programming language. In 1995 many languages ​​offered by the books and courses to be studied such as Turbo Pascal, Turbo C, C ++, Clipper, BASIC and other-lai. All are still under the operating system DOS (Disk Operating System) no Windows or Linux.

Said the BASIC programming language that is most easily understood but is still considered less sophisticated language that time. In principle I should be one of the programming language BASIC although less sophisticated people said no problem but I still learn the language BASIC (which is important to the programming language).

Lucky indeed it turns out Microsoft has khsusus attention to this BASIC. Evident of every existing operating system DOS BASIC language in the form of Software QuickBasic included in it complete with HELP and examples of his code.

In 1993 I began to recognize the windows 3.1. With the Windows operating system is no longer possible to use a DOS-based program.
Along with these windows I found QBASIC windows version is Visual Basic version 3.0

In Visual Basic 3.0 visual-based interface, such as the manufacture of input, buttons and sortcut no longer manually but has been provided by the Visual Basic 3.0 IDE.

I try to buy the book Visual Basic version 3.0 which is pretty good but it is frustrating that time. Sorry not the only one jugul books I bought. There are a few titles to dictionary Visual Basic AZ also I bought. As if the title of the book is an appropriate title to fulfill my desire to master Visual Basic.

But it may blon until the time I also could not immediately understand this programming. That there is only follow the tutorial, and then write the code examples. If an error occurs directly dizzy.

Examples of interesting programs are programs Zodiac. Lots of programs zodiac in the DOS version very interesting. I immediately bought the book which contained the BASIC program example of the zodiac. Type the code is quite long as well. After quite tired of typing codes that do not understand it means finally over.

Hope the program runs smoothly although not know the meaning of the code is typed. But the result is an error here and there. Dizziness and forgiveness there is no place to ask. Finally, leave it out.

In conclusion typing long code and do not know what it means is not a good way to learn programming .....
