I personally learned the basics of Java and C in university. I have studied Computer Engineering and learned about software and hardware architecture, programming languages, complilers, libraries and everything in between. My only problem with these studies is that they are extremely theoretical, so you may spend three to five years studying these topics and find yourself not ready for work or not skilled enough.

Take a look at the source code , break down the code so you can understand how it works , then maybe rebuild something else from what you've learnt

I learned programming all by myself while researching on the internet. The first programming language that I learned was WML (Wireless Markup Language). It was for java and symbian mobile os like in 2004 to 2009. Soon after that I have learned my other programming languages like html, css, javascript, php, mysql using lynda's video tutorials. Surely it helped me a lot. So now if someone asks me how to learn programming I refer them to lynda.com's video tutorials.

I learned my first language in school, it was easy but you couldn't do much with it.Python is a good language but in school you learn the basics for a long time.In my opinion you should start learning a language from tutorials or alone from maybe threads.Its quicker and more effensive

The best way to code is to watch youtube videos. It's the a massive library that can teach you anything. I learned to be a great coder with the internet and coding my personal apps.

I have been self teaching myself different concepts and languages of coding since the 5th grade. I actually started with a youtube tutorial on some weird visual scripting language because I wanted to make windows pop-ups to trick my friend into thinking he had a virus. I was 11 years old at the time so these were the types of things I found funny. I then noticed how much I enjoyed learning about computers in general and kept on watching youtube tutorials like that. I then decided I wanted a website to impress my friends and moved on to HTML/CSS. Then I decided I wanted my own Minecraft server, so I learned Java and started making in-house plugins for my servers. I also touched Lua for a bit and played with JavaScript, but it was a while before I took JS seriously. After a while of practicing the same skills, I wanted to learn something that could actually be used. So last summer I started learning JavaScript on Codecademy. I practiced it by making Discord bots but eventually decided I didn't like any of the node modules for doing so. Then I moved on to front-end JavaScript in web development. I made my first game and then moved back to back-end. I began rewriting my game to process back-end but unfortunately never finished. I still have it sitting on GitHub, actually. I am still teaching myself computer science just by playing around with things and googling around when they don't work. It's been going good so far.

Hi,
I started programming when I was in high school. Since then, I loved the programming. My first programming language was BASIC for ATARI / Commodore 64.
The best allies at that time were the books and trying with a computer everything I read.
This is how I learned. What a good times...
Best regards

Like Furukawa I am an older programmer - so many years back. Basic and cobalt was in and all those were coded line-by-line - oh YAY! With all these new technologies and programming tools, makes programming a breeze.

Although I have learned VB, PHP, SQL etc. by self taught
Once you learn one, other languages will be able to read the flow to the source.

I started off with messing around with Java trying to make Minecraft mods when I was only 12. Then, I moved on to learning Python on code.org as a part of a school project. Then, I got into the website business with HTML and CSS and used Khan academy for parts of it. I feel like W3Schools is a little disorganized and you can only use it to refer to specific bits of code you forgot how to do. I have started learning Java on an amazing online course on Udacity and it is designed by a college.

When I was at middle school at computer science class, I used to open "source code" from very basic html web pages being displayed on that epoch. I was not able to understand a thing but I knew there was something within it. After just looking the code for many subsequent days, I was able to create my very first web page. It had barely 4 or 5 tags. That same year, a guy from another classroom was using Flash 4 so I was intrigued. I started animating in FLash 5 and then programming ActionScript within Flash 5. Nowdays I use Perl.

I first learn basic on a Commodore VIC-20. At the back of computer magazines were pages of code which you would copy and run and then modify to see how it worked. I remember being so excited when I got a cassette player to hook up which could be used to save the code.

I have first learned to code in school and have been fascinated ever since.
Learning to code is easy once you understand how the program goes in the means of reading a whole program of code and understanding the code line by line. I was stumped almost all of the time when I first started to code but I learned fast by mostly google search then going to stackoverflow lol. I would recommend going to youtube for tutorials, I believe there are lots of resources for everyone to learn to understand almost any kind of programming languages.

I taught myself programming by searching up tutorials at first, and I've also went to college for web design & animation but I didn't complete the course.

I started out with writing some batch files for DOS and Windows 3.1! C++, HTML, I learned once I got to the university. C#, VBA, VB.NET, CSS, I learned on the job. I was always a computer geek though, running around Windows systems.
