There a a lot of acronyns used in the programming world, best to get used to using&nbsp;them now.</p> <p><strong>INTRO</strong></p> <p>&gt; so you think you want to be a web developer<br />&gt; so you think you want to be a programmer</p> <p>i am/may be the worlds WORST PROGRAMMER, of course i am exagerating somewhat here(hopefully), &nbsp;i do NOT have the GEEK gene, i was NOT born with it, i did NOT learn it. Everything that IKAP has come<strong> 100% un naturally</strong>. it has been a fight, a struggle, and</p> <p>Now dont get me wrong, i am not complaining/whining/... I love/ to program</p> <p>i have spent far too much time learning to program,</p> <p><strong>GOAL(S)</strong></p> <p>&gt; i want to learn to be a better programmer || learn (from my mistakes) - EIKAP for 20 year in 20 days &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>DO WE NEED</strong> - another programming book/tutorial/</p> <p>- yes - TMI &nbsp;- the problem is NOT that we dont have enough information, the problem may be that we have too much information.</p> <p>- no -</p> <p><strong>WHY</strong> would you want to learn from someone who may be the worst programmer</p> <p>&gt; great point <br />- # 1 - we have the same goal<br />- # 2 - we are starting at the same point (but really we are not, but my point is )</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <hr /> <p style="text-align: center;">draft = before you start</p> <p><strong>pre reqs</strong></p> <ol> <li>] a <strong>computer</strong>,</li> <ol> <li>] windows</li> <li>] mac</li> <li>] linux</li> <li>]&nbsp;can i use&nbsp;my { ipad / iphone / android ... }</li> <li>]</li> </ol> <li>] a <strong>desire</strong> to learn programming,</li> <ol> <li>]</li> </ol> <li>] <strong>knowledge</strong> of how to use&nbsp;your computer</li> <ol> <li>] use programs, open,edit and save files, find files, install programs</li> <li>] IF NOT -</li> </ol> <li><strong>] time</strong></li> <ol> <li>]</li> </ol></ol> <p><strong>choices/decisions =</strong></p> <ol> <li><strong>] your dev computer -</strong></li> <ol> <li>] <strong>windows</strong>&nbsp; i could tell you b/c it ihas the largest audience, but really it's because thats&nbsp;what i use, using a mac is probably better, most every developer at g/fb/sv ... does,</li> </ol> <li><strong>] platform target,</strong></li> <ol> <li>]&nbsp;<strong>windows()</strong>&nbsp;= where the program that you write will operate on, example a native iOS(iphone) program WILL NOT work on a windows computer, a native windows program WILL NOT work on an iphone</li> </ol> <li><strong>] programming language</strong></li> <ol> <li>]&nbsp;<strong>C#</strong> =</li> </ol> <li><strong>] tools - ide/text editor/compiler,&nbsp; </strong></li> <ol> <li>] <strong>notepad</strong> -</li> <li>] <strong>csc.exe</strong> - native windows compiler for c#,</li> </ol> <li><strong>] your program</strong></li> <ol> <li>] p1 - "hello world" ( cc # 1665&nbsp;programming examples list )</li> </ol></ol> <p><strong>tools = </strong></p> <ol> <li>] about ide -</li> <li>] ide - notepad -</li> </ol> <p><strong>programming fundamentals</strong></p> <ol> <li>] data types</li> <li>] control flow</li> <li>] variables</li> <li>] constants</li> <li>] functions</li> <li>] statements</li> <li>] persistance</li> </ol> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
