Question

plz help which site is best for learning programming?

Answer 1

what kind of programming??
for practice you can use topcoder or codechef...
or may be geeksforgeeks.org is something what you are looking for

Answer 2

Please study any language from the following site
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm

Answer 3

It really depends on what you want to program ans why. Programming covers everything form making simple scripts to aid in document handling n up to making complex software like games. The end goal helps determine the best starting point and most useful language(s) to learn.

Answer 4

i want to learn C++, python & PHP which is the best site to learn this languages?

Answer 5

want to learn .vbs too

Answer 6

That is a good selection. based on it, I would start with a lit of Python using the videos here:
http://thenewboston.org/tutorials.php
and the code work here:
http://www.codecademy.com

Once you have the basics, start on one of the MIT 6.00 classes. MIT uses Python to teach Software Engineering, the concepts of systematically looking at problems from a programming standpoint. They are a little lite on the basics because they assume people have had some experience with programming before taking the class... but they don't go super deep really quick. So if you get the basics of Python down, that will do.

Once you know the core principals of programming, which the MIT class will give you, then learning any other language is a lot easier. Python is also object orientated enough to be a good primer for C++, java, and many others.

Answer 8

If you want to see more the utility programming side of Python, this site has a free book and videos:

http://www.pythonlearn.com/

The professor that made it is an author of standards. He is no slouch when it comes to code quality. However, he aims the Informatics lessons at more data handling. Many, many developers and hard core coders use Python for that, while they use another language for their main work. So learning that side of it is not bad and will let you see more the breadth of possibilities with one, solid language.

Again, once you know the core concepts of coding, OOP, libraries, and such, moving to another language will be easier and you will be able to more easily evaluate the references.

Answer 9

any good sites for learning .vbs?

Answer 10

Hmm.... http://www.tutorialspoint.com/vb.net/ They cover a lot of languages.

Free books:
http://www.onlineprogrammingbooks.com/
http://freecomputerbooks.com/

I did VB in a class, I did not really look into VB online. There are a lot of videos on Youtube for different languages. The problem is this: if it is not made by a school, it may be not the greatest thing to learn. If you learn bad programming habits early on, it is hard to get rid of them. Like in c++, fflush(stdin). That is an undefined command, but people still sue it. (fflush is only defined for output, not input). So I strongly suggest only getting the basics in a language that a college produced computer science class uses, then going through the class materials. That way you develop good habits first and can better identify the bad ones when you see them.

Answer 11

Once you know about programming properly, picking up a new language is not hard. What takes you months for the first one suddenly happens in weeks for the second. Why? You know what data structures, objects, and all these other things are. You are just looking at how to apply them in a new language.

Answer 12

cool then lets get started :D
