Alright, so before I got on these forums I though I knew how to program pretty well, but I don't understand any of this computer talk. I want to learn to program well. Can anyone help me start programming?
to learn programming (precisely programming in small), you need three things: 1. knowledge of data structure (eg array,linked list ,tree and hash table are sufficient to a large extent) 2.knowledge of algorithm (eg searching(linear and binary) and sorting(merget sort etc) are sufficient 3. through knowledge of one programming language. I suggest to start with C. For an overall view on programming a book called practice of programming by kernighan and pike is very good in my opinion.
