Hello,

There are all kinds of programming languages that there is to learn and expect most of us to not know it all, Personally I have learned things in the passed when I was at college doing my certificates and accomplished. I had a good teacher who was easy going and not to mention that the class was only maxed of 4 students since it was an online-based class. Nowadays I have lost allot, and need to get back into it. we talking about 10 years ago and allot has changed.

So, How did you learn and what made you get into it? there are a lot of ways from going online and learning yourself or spending a good amount of time at college and having a face to face support. Mostly there is so much content online that we all tend to do it ourselves with free or even paid online.

Forgot to mention what programming languages you doing guys? lol
 
Most of my coding related journey is through Freecodecamp. Though it does not teach you C# and few other languages. You can learn javascript, HTML and the CSS through the freecode camp. And it is one good resource. You can check out the codecademy as well though they have now premium courses instead.
 
I took courses at a community college during the 2000s and later one at a university in the 2010s. Also, I used tons of self-help books. I never really got around to utilizing the internet to use for free, as most are doing now I think.

Anyway, the school-courses I took were VB, C #, C ++ and Python.
 
I had no idea of programming before joining my university back in 2019 , I've learned and improving from the university , since my teachers are impeccable.
 
I did in school C++, started learnig HTML before univeristy, there I learned HTML, Javascript and I also wanted to learn PHP and databases!

? I didn't learn programming language ever. I don't know about it, but now I have interest to know more about it. So after completing some projects ,I ll try to learn it
 
I started off creating logos, fliers and complimentary cards. Then I got a job working at a company remotely while I was still in school. It was challenging because it was the first time I was fully responsible for the visual communication of a company. While my friends were playing games on their laptops, I was working and earning income. After that, I freelanced for while. Sometimes, I created projects for myself and approached companies with it, for example I re-designed my schools UI and presented it to them

I have learned Mathematica and c++, and C sharp languages for education need.
I was learning this language is in my master's degree and I can do physics related work on these languages especially I can make simulations of different models and problems and I can also solve complex equations by using these languages and I can create 3D modeling for any case.
 
I learned JavaScript and c++ while I was in the university. Though I mastered it through personal practice. I employed the services of a tutor to tech me python and SQL. I tutored myself C by watching YouTube videos and attending lectures on udemy, coursera.
 
I learn the python programming language on my own. I learnt by using a textbook that has practical examples. I first installed the software on my system, then, I read and practice what I found in the book chapter by chapter. It is not difficult to do but it requires dedication.
 
Learning programming language has always been my dream. This made me visiting YouTube during the lockdown to learn some codes. I was stil on Javascript. I want to learn all the rudiments even if it takes a year before moving on to python.
 
Learning programming requires that you dedicate your time and consistently practice for perfection, I prefer to read pdf material for a start then I read blogs most time i use tutorialspoint.com then I proceed to YouTube videos to complement my learning
 
I learned programming in IBM Philippines when I passed the scholarship test. It was during my college days that the mainframe computer was not heard of by the general public. To be honest, I got just the borderline passing grade of 46 out of 86 items in the IBM exam. After finishing the basic programming I continued with COBOL. I was fortunate to be hired by a bank as a programmer trainee after finishing the short course of programming. Oh, that was history now.
 
I started learning some basic languages (Python, HTML, CSS) back in high-school, and then carried that interest through to college and university with me, where I self-taught.

Not sure if it's still active, but a ton of my knowledge came from 'CodeAcademy' back in the day :) And W3 School remains a great source for basic reminders/prompts for HTML & CSS related code

I'm still undergoing some programming language course. I'm currently learning about scripting programming language. I'm trying to learn how scripting programing language works. So I can write scripts for people in need of it, companies and other lucrative business that requires such.
 
I learnt programming languages online through Coursera and Lynda. I took courses in html, javascript and python.
I plan to learn more programming language this year through Lynda, it's a good place to learn.
 
I didnt have any idea about programming before entering the university, I was just used with microsoft excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft word. I was taught Java but I find it kind of difficult so I am learning html and CSS on my own
 
Learned that in a school, started with algorithms, then moved to Visual Basic, html, Css and PHP and i'm trying to learn C# now, i also learned about binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal systems, costed me around 100$ a month for 2 years now
 
I learnt how to program in Python in high school and sixth form. And then I learnt about Java in university. I believe we will be moving over to C++ later on next year. My knowledge of HTML, CSS, and PHP was built up by just messing around with websites from a young age and slowly learning what each thing does. Honestly, one of the best ways to learn HTML and CSS is by simply looking through the page source of various websites and seeing what they do.
 
I learned programming language from a very good friend of mine, who was into programming and design. Although I would not say I am perfect, I will say learning from someone is better than taking online classes or learning all by yourself. With someone whose knowledge is higher than yours, within a short period of time you can become a professional too.

When it comes to programming the way that I learn and am continuing to learn actually is through the use of online course coupled with handbooks and experimentation in coding. For example If I am not very busy for a day then I can play around with different codes and try and understand them and then I can apply that to the codes that I try to create and in that way I am able to learn what works and what does not through application.
 
There are several place online where you can sell your graphic design skills. One such place is Guru.com, this website has lots of buyers demanding for graphic designs. Another place where you can ply your trading is Upwork. On Upwork, you can set your per hour rate over there. 99designs is another which is strickly for graphic design buying and selling.
 
I learn alone, I don't know why is like that I hardly understand or cop when so many person are with me during learning, but I tried, and I overcame that, but still anytime I have serious exams at hand I always learn alone.

Even learning online, I have to be alone if I must understand fast.

I started with the basics online from YouTube videos ,then I moved on too apps like grasshopper, it is a really great app. The.n I learned from a very good friend who is tech savvy. You can go through my own process if you like or just have someone teach you.
 
I learnt how to create websites back then in 2012, I was tutored by a guy I met online, he is from Malawi and he never charged me any fee, his name is click guru, I won't forget him in a hurry, he is such a nice man and not money orientated.
 
One of my borrowed course in the university was introduction to Fortran, man it was hectic, I search online to get materials to study but I ended up being more confused, even YouTube wasn't that useful, I had to pay someone who was very good at it to teach me.
 
I learn mostly online. I've learnt so many things through online, especially utube. I'm a fashion designer and a university student.... I'm able to combine this two career through the help of online classes. I learn my fashion and design online though I attend a fashion school too but 50 percent of my knowledge in fashion was through online means.
 
During my secondary time, I do not really learn a language code because I didn't know that it my may later useful for me, but I have interest to learn it, because I need it, there is one particular thing I want to use it for and I will make that I learn it.

This is the information that I've been looking for. This is such a good way to go about learning how to code. If I can be able to learn about HTML, then I am better than I was before doing so. How much do you think it will cost to learn it in the future?
 
I do not have any programming knowledge and I do not have any web design skills. However, these days I am spending a couple of hours every day to self learn website design. I have discovered wordpress allows to design without coding.

I was never taught programming language throughout my school carrier, primary , secondary and tertiary institution , i am even hearing bit for the first time, there are many courses that are not correlated because we have different courses in different countries, so i don't know about programming languages.

Programming is one of the best coding skill that brings you huge income everyday as long as you're an expert. You need to specify on a particular programming language, perfect it, and start practicing it. I'm just keen to add one of the programming languages in my set of skill, to earn substantially online in the future.
 
Well, I still haven't learnt programming yet but I am still on my way to learning it because I still watch video on how to program on YouTube till this very moment.
 
The things that i learnt mainly on my own is some management accessment cources and project management software programme.I did some accounting pakages as well and offline some engineering design sofware courses.Most of the mastering i had was through self practice.

What YouTube channels were helpful to you in your learning process so that those of us who are interested would utilize them to acquire knowledge too.
 
There are so many ways you could learn programming, there are even apps that can help you with the basics. There was one time i was kind of bored so i decided to check out programming, i found so many free apps on play store that can help with the basis and even online
 
I learned JavaScript and c++ while I was in the university. Though I mastered it through personal practice. I employed the services of a tutor to tech me python and SQL. I tutored myself C by watching YouTube videos and attending lectures on udemy, coursera.
 
I majored in computer science in college, I learned C, C++, Java, PHP as a part of their curriculum. Learned Python a few years back through an online portal. Coding forums are really helpful, I learned so much from these websites compared to what I learned from my college.
 
The one that I am learning at the moment is python and what i have done for this is that i have downloaded a lot of youtube videos in order to guide me to learn this.
 
I was thinking of starting my career as a website developer but couldn't pursue that. I came into a writing career. But if I have to learn any programming language, I will start with Python as I've read many people say it's easy to start with. Then, move towards the difficult ones.
