obioraval: JAVA in the House.. though i am coming from an Embedded Systems Background. i am comfortable with embedded C but Java looks like the Way Forward... CODE CODE CODE... any owerri based member should buzz me

spikes C:

like you know what walking is

no dey disgrace yourself abeg

ciphoenix:

just standing on certain assumptions. perhaps i shouldn't have

netesy: just download and use the visual studio
then choose forms projects its just drag and drop

xterra2:

Haha were you sleeping when you wrote that ?
If the lazy person doesn't learn C# and he used the Visual Studio Drag and Drop at the end he would have a win forms application that would contain textboxes, images, buttons that's all - there would be NO functionality
for the functionality you MUST learn C# or Vb.net (which isn't advisable to learn btw)

Soyedele1: is there a website where i can get those ebooks on python?
Thank you

Javanian:

Interesting, Am also in this category, everything i know today i learnt on my own and from people on nairaland and other forums. The only programmers i know are the ones on nairaland and few other online forums. Sometimes i really wish i can meet and work with some people here.



like i said earlier learning with ebooks are certainly better but sometimes they can get really boring. I remember when i started learning data structures and algorithms with an ebook, when i was done with insertion, bubble and selection sort, stack, queues and PQ it got really boring. I then found DS and ALGO lectures on youtube. I took the lectures for a month and somedays. I then went back to the books and it made more sense to me. Although individuals might differ, but the video tutorials really help...

udifrancis: @Op, big thank you. i've started studying Java and PHP on my own and also making reference to this topic.

Soyedele1: can you pls send me some ebooks bro??

udifrancis: @Op, big thank you. i've started studying Java and PHP on my own and also making reference to this topic.

netesy:
No i was wide awake when he makes a form with no functionality he will be tempted to learned the language simple.
Ps.
.Net also include C++

monkvirus: Well I wanted to learn c++ for embedded programing and robotics nd was advised to learn visual basic first so as to get used and familiar with the syntax and the rest, wen don wit dat learning c++ nd see would be much more easier since av met nd been familiar wit som syntax. Well these were the advise I got from a programer frnd. I don't know how viable it is. Need more advice from the house.

xterra2:

the vb i know is nothing like c++

p.josh:
Am new to programming and planning on learning vb.net. Is it okay for a beginner to start with vb.net.
Please don't ignore

WhiZTiM: @monkvirus...
You can learn C++ without prior programming knowledge... Just try and also learn about computer systems architecture, it will speed up ur learning.

C++ is so powerfull that you can write dare devil programs... Also, a programming bug can frustrate and fry you up.
...dnt worry, perfection can come later...

felxfame: I will advice those going into programming to start with HTML followed by CSS and any other scripting language most especially Javascript because it will open your eyes on what programming is all about.
Believe me you are going to enjoy it.
And please do not learn with outdated ebook.
Use the most recent ones.

felxfame:
I will say that your friend is an old C++ developer, because the newest version of C++ is simpler and easy to understand.
But it depends on what you told him.

dulaman: Javanian said anybody with question should ask here. Now people have asked loads of questions no answers.yet you say you will delete any thread opened about it.
