As a KacsLearnings – Blog Writer. I discovered that coding is valuable skill now a days. Everyone wants to learns programming but they are confused how to start coding ?. Its a big challenge for every student. With my experience as a software engineer and a background in coding, I’ve found that programming is one of the most valuable skill you can develop.

Question is how to start programming?

First of all , you need to understand programming fundamentals. Programming fundamentals are key for a good developer. If you have knowledge about basics and structure of programming then it would be very easy for you to learn programming.

In programming fundamentals you deal with basic concepts of programming like types of languages (High level language & Low level language). Then you need to understand how computer understands programming languages. After that you have to learn following things in sequence. Its a road map to learn programming fundamentals.

Step 1: Choose a language which you want to learn. If you are already familiar with C++ then start from python. If you are not familiar then please kick start from C++. Reason to start with Cplusplus is that you will learn programming basics in depth using C or C++.

Step 2: Understand Flow charts and algorithms (algorithms helps you in problem solving)

Step 3: Now setup environment for programming language which you want to learn. Download and install IDEs for programming.

Step 4: Start from single line code as printing one line code.

Step 5: Now you have to polish your self in coding. Please do not choose difficult things first. Always choose easy part then go for difficult one. To take start in programming please first learn about Variables and Data Types, Control Structures, Functions, Basic Input/Output.

Step 6: Move to Object oriented programming after learning functions. Learn OOP (object oriented programming) concepts in deep.

• Encapsulation
• Abstraction
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism

After learning programming fundamentals, you will be able to learn any programming language. Its not difficult to learn other programming languages. I’m sharing my own experience, As you are familiar with programming fundamentals then its easy to learn other languages. . Every one would suggests you to learn and start from python and C++ but they would not give you a road map , that is how you can start programming.

Once you are done with programming fundamentals choose programming language which you want to learn. Here is the confusing point that

Which Programming Language would be best for future?

Do not worry about future programming language , keep focused on your interested language. If you are polished in your language then it would be best for you. Every programming language has bright future but its depend on your efforts which you put to learn a specific language.

Note: When you start learning new thing please firstly go for a road map for that topic. Thanks!
