In this blog, I will share some best ways to learn a new programming language from the start and it will be helpful for everyone who comes under the range of newbie to expert.
Learning programming language is a syntactical thing but before understanding this you should know about what programming language can do for you and how it works in real scenarios. After knowing its works you will be able to understand any type of programming language if the working of programming language is clearer to your mind.
So let’s understand the workings of programming language.
Basically, the Programming language is a way to instruct machines so that they can perform the required task. It normally works on the basis of a given input and according to the input, the required output is getting generated after executing a set of instructions.
Yes, I know this is quite not understandable for newbies no worries after understanding some of the examples you will be more clear.
For example, In a real-world scenario whenever we are using any machine, there takes place an input-output scenario according to which the machine behaves. If we take a mobile then call or search on Google’s required input and according to this input, your task is executed and then it returns you the required output. For example, If you search on Google “codewithdc.com” then Google will return information about my website after doing some comparison between your input and stored data.
Now, I hope you guys understand how basically programming language works. Now let’s understand this word individually:
1. Programming: Programming simply means writing programs that contain a set of instructions, after understanding the given problem. For example, write a program in which you have to add two numbers.
2. Language: Language denotes different types of ways to represent the set of instructions that we discussed in the programming steps. The point we should note about language is to just understand the syntax, which is the way in which instructions can be written according to that language, and in all the languages programming part is similar in most cases. For Example, C, C++, Java, Javascript, Python etc.
From where we can learn a new programming language?
This is a question that comes from everyone, whenever they start their journey with new programming languages. Below are some of the methods to start and become an expert in any programming language but please note that the method may differ from person to person. So in the end, you need to understand which medium/way is best fit for you.
- Choose one programming language.
- choosing one programming language is a difficult task but if you want to fulfill the market needs then you may need to choose the required programming language by understanding current market. If you are done with that then the main step that comes here is to verify yourself with that programming. In simple words, I want to say is to take a quick/free training on it.
- what happens with the free training? And from where we can do that? Free training is training that makes you understand what this programming is and how you can use it. To do free training on any programming language we should choose YouTube as a priority because there are numerous videos that make you choose one that best suits you.
- After completing free training
- Once your free training is completed you need to just make sure that you are feeling good with it. In simple words, you are enjoying the moment in some way.
- Start Doing Projects:
- Once you are confirmed with your chosen programming language then you need to start searching for small projects which will make your journey interesting. If you want to follow someone who is creating some sort of project then you can also do that by watching some YouTube videos or purchasing courses on Udemy. Please note that Udemy courses are good to start your journey with some projects.
- Get Deep Knowledge:
- Basically, deep knowledge is not a required thing but if you still want to come out of the crowd you can go with that.
- To have deep knowledge of any programming language we should start reading reference books.
- Reference books are good in of to get detailed knowledge on every topic.
- Solve Competitive problems:
- Once you are done with the above steps you can start solving competitive problems after solving low to medium-level of questions.
Above mentioned processes are good for your new programming journey and I hope this answers to your questions.
