How do I start programming?

Idk. I’ve never asked myself this question, because I didn’t need to. I started programming to solve problems that I had. My first time “programming” was a few years ago when I saw a YouTube video about command blocks and It hooked me instantly I’ve always loved math and problem solving. Command blocks were problems that had an effect in minecraft when I “solved” them and I build a ton of stuff with them. A few years later I asked myself “How do I create websites” and I just started learning.

What should I learn?

LEARN GIT. What is git? Git is a version control system. What’s that? - just google it. After you’ve learned the basics of git ( add, commit, push ) choose a random programming language to learn and learn basic syntax. Try not to memorize the syntax. What do I mean by “memorizing the syntax”? - I’m trying to say that you should try to think logically. Programming isn’t about syntax Its about the algorithms and solutions. Don’t focus on the language focus on the solution.

OK and how do I start learning?

Just find a problem to solve and try solve It. Try to think about something interesting and try to build it but I don't know how... - just google it, there are so many tutorials on YouTube and on other websites.

What should i build?

• discord bot
• website
• blog
• calculator
• to-do app
• timer
• a list of something
• Or anything that sounds interesting.

How do I learn?

If I started programming today I would focus on learning algorithms and then recreating them in a simple programming language like JavaScript/go/python. Then I would build a small web app that uses these algorithms.

If you want to learn anything just search for tutorials, awesome lists and read documentations or other people’s code.
