How To Code A Program?

[j4y3m]

What's the best program to code a program? And what's a good site that can help me learn the best programming langauge? :P

[100%]

I have no clue about programming - but i came across
a prog called Neobook - makes programs for you in a simpler way
dont be fooled by the outof date interface
get the old version-its free and does the same

First off you need to know what programming language you want to learn. There are MANY to learn (Pascal, Basic, C, C++, Java, Scheme..... etc, etc, big ETC).

So it comes down to WHAT programs you want to make, for what environment, etc.

If you don't want to code, you can get MS Visual Basic and try some stuff there. It's entertaining :)

I don't know I just want to learn something while im not at school. So what's the best langauge to learn? and is it hard?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/

and download Visual Basic

[j4y3m]

Which one? :lol: All I can see are updates. :blink:

[Dark Ride]

I have Borland Delphi 6 Personal Edition, but I don't have a clue how to work with it.

The only thing that have managed to make is a window with a "close" button and it woks :lol:

I've tried some HTML and JAVA command lines , like:


window.close&#59;

B)

[j4y3m]

How about...

window.maximize;
window.minimize;

are those real? :blink:

I've tried visual basic and it seems easy to learn. Unfortunately i don't have the time otherwise i would have tried creating my own application with it.

I would say it all depends on how serious you are about programming. If you just want to make a quick application Visual Basic is the way to go. It eliminates the need to know GUI components and generally regarded by most people a very easy language.

If you're more serious about things I suggest you learn something like Java or C++, or even C if you're even more adventurous. VB is going to be the easy to pick up however it won't give you great programming skills. It can't hurt to start simple though B)

[j4y3m]

Yeh I think I'll use Visual Basic. Once I've learned that I'll move on to something more complicated. B)

Learn C if your hardcore. This tutorial was last updated the 28 of january 2004. I forget who wrote it. :huh:

"edit" opps the one above is the compiler page :P

Tutorial page is this pdf. ftp://ftp.cs.virginia.edu/pub/lcc-win32/tutorial.pdf

Ms (microsoft) application.

I'm currently learning C.... I ain't doing bad but I'm SURELY not doing well :(

[opivykid]

Which do you think would be better to learn, C, or C++? I'm doing QBasic at the moment, yet, I'm looking for something more fun than the good old 80's style that QBasic offers :D.

Consider C as being classic, and C++ as being a slight bit more cutting edge .............but that does not make anyone of thoose more better than the other. ;)

[Cygnuz-Y]

You can try Delphi too, i have seen people make amazing thinks with it, and its not that difficult, its a combination of Pascal and Visual Basic....

Nopes.... VB is another "language" ;)

Delphi is practically Visual Pascal ;)

[opivykid]

Ok then, C++ looks pretty good i guess... But, what should I use for it? I'm looking at "Borland C++ Builder 6", but is there anything else better?

I remember vaguely watching a tv programme years ago, where they metioned the reason C++ came about was because with C different programmers had different ways to solve a particular problem and the solutions werent compatible or something. Thats why C++ was developed.

I cant remember much about it so don&#39;t quote me on this. :lol: . Anyway the point i&#39;m assuming is that C++ is better for collaboration.

One thing about Visual Basic that you might find interesting is that there are about 5 million VB programmers around the world, so you shouldnt have any problems getting help.

[DWk]

C++ is a high level programming language

C is more like a medium-high :rolleyes:

Great. :D So what version do I download and from where? :rolleyes:

*BUMP*

[Keikan]

What programs would you make....?

If I knew code I couldn&#39;t figure out what to make
