Today in the field of information technology knowledge of programming languages is not the least important. The presence of such a skill, as a rule, distinguishes a specialist from a layman and opens up wide opportunities for him. However, not everyone can learn to program, because this is not an easy task. In order to cope with this task, it is necessary to approach it correctly and show real persistence in solving it.
It is necessary
- - the Internet;
- - literature;
- - notebook;
- - a pen.
Instructions
Step 1
Set yourself a goal. Think carefully before you start learning programming, whether you really need it. For effective study, you need to decide on the goal that you are going to achieve by mastering programming, for example, to change jobs, implement a project, etc. Use a simple and effective technique for assessing goals, the so-called SMART, used in management. Having a good goal will be a source of motivation for you throughout the training and will prevent you from wasting time.
Step 2
Consult. In the field of computer systems, changes are constantly taking place, technologies are being updated. Ask experienced and established programmers for advice on the latest trends in the field and the most requested languages. Their recommendations can be decisive, especially if you have not decided what exactly to start learning. In addition, they will tell you what material on the topic will be most useful to you.
Step 3
Develop a program. Think carefully and plan for your self-study. Include learning a new programming language in your daily schedule and set aside enough time for it. Purchase the necessary technical and reference literature (books, textbooks). Join any community on the topic (for example, forum, portal, mailing group), study news, articles to fully immerse yourself in the subject being studied.
Step 4
Practice. Don't just study theory. In order for new knowledge to be well consolidated, it is necessary to constantly practice. Start by writing simple programs that perform elementary functions and solve simple problems, complete tasks from the textbook. Try to understand the purpose of each operator or function in the language and master their application. The complexity of the programs you create will increase imperceptibly by itself.
Step 5
Show persistence. Pursue your goal relentlessly in accordance with the developed program. Maintain the proper level of motivation (internal desire to act). Resist laziness and the urge to quit. Try to provide a comfortable environment for learning new material and practice daily.
