title= THE absolute BEGINNERS GUIDE to learning to CODE/PROGRAM

draft - introduction

i don't know why i am writing this book, but i dont know how far along I am going to get with it, chances are that i will probably quit somewhere along the way, hopefully i can get this project far enough along that someone else will be inspired to take up the reigns and carry/move the project forward.

BEFORE you start, i would strongly encourage you to read MY DISCLAIMER(S), these include things like IANAE, YMMV, TINORA, TAGTBM  - basically what they boil down to is me telling you that i dont want YOU to INVEST the most VALUABLE thing you have, without "knowing what i know" beforehand, i am NOT trying to sell you a bill of goods here,

ps dont worry if you dont recognize the acronyms, some of them are my own, and i explain each in the article. There a a lot of acronyns used in the programming world, best to get used to using them now.

INTRO

> so you think you want to be a web developer
> so you think you want to be a programmer

i am/may be the worlds WORST PROGRAMMER, of course i am exagerating somewhat here(hopefully),  i do NOT have the GEEK gene, i was NOT born with it, i did NOT learn it. Everything that IKAP has come 100% un naturally. it has been a fight, a struggle, and

Now dont get me wrong, i am not complaining/whining/... I love/ to program

i have spent far too much time learning to program,

GOAL(S)

> i want to learn to be a better programmer || learn (from my mistakes) - EIKAP for 20 year in 20 days   

DO WE NEED - another programming book/tutorial/

- yes - TMI  - the problem is NOT that we dont have enough information, the problem may be that we have too much information.

- no -

WHY would you want to learn from someone who may be the worst programmer

> great point
- # 1 - we have the same goal
- # 2 - we are starting at the same point (but really we are not, but my point is )

 

draft = before you start

pre reqs

  1. ] a computer,

    2. ] mac
    3. ] linux

    5. ]
  2. ] a desire to learn programming,
    1. ]
  3. ] knowledge of how to use your computer

    2. ] IF NOT -
  4. ] time
    1. ]

choices/decisions =

  1. ] your dev computer -
    1. ] windows  i could tell you b/c it ihas the largest audience, but really it's because thats what i use, using a mac is probably better, most every developer at g/fb/sv ... does,
  2. ] platform target,
    1. ] windows() = 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
  3. ] programming language
    1. ] C# =
  4. ] tools - ide/text editor/compiler, 
    1. ] notepad -
    2. ] csc.exe - native windows compiler for c#,
  5. ] your program
    1. ] p1 - "hello world" ( cc # 1665 programming examples list )

tools =

  1. ] about ide -
  2. ] ide - notepad -

programming fundamentals

  1. ] data types
  2. ] control flow
