Help!
Hey guys! OK I'm 15 and first became interested in programming when I learned how to get Linux and Ubuntu onto a chrombook laptop. I want to know what is the best thing for me to do to learn how to program. Thanks!
C++ is a great language, but is usually not the best starting language. You could try Python, if C++ seems a little too complicated to begin with. https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide
Do you want to learn C++? If you do:
| Should I learn C before I learn C++? Don’t bother. The common subset of C and C++ is easier to learn than C. There will be less type errors to catch manually (the C++ type system is stricter and more expressive), fewer tricks to learn (C++ allows you to express more things without circumlocution), and better libraries available. The best initial subset of C++ to learn is not “all of C” ... If your ultimate goal is to learn C++ and you don’t already know C, reading books or taking courses in C will not only waste your time, but it will teach you a bunch of things that you’ll explicitly have to un-learn when you finally get back on track and learn C++ ... If you want to learn C++, learn C++. Taking time out to learn C will waste your time and confuse you. https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/how-to-learn-cpp |
