Well I was wondering how many people are able to code? I ask this because I am interested in computers and want to learn coding. So I ask here to anyone how did you learn how to code? Did yuo go to a class to learn or did you read a book or watch a video? If you are a coder please post here how you learned how to code. And also please add any recommended books or videos that can help out. Thank you.

I belong to the generatin who learned programming or coding through trial and error
Decide on the programming language that you want to start with, for example BASIC or C++. Get at least one instructional book. Type in the example codes given. After the program has run smoothly, start modifying the codes to add extra features. That basically was how I learned to write a program. So far I have neve attended any formal class.
It may be a good idea to start with something simple.

Not that I can think of at the moment. You have to start by making a decision on which programming language to start with. Then you will hav eto download the software. There are free BASIC software which you can download from sites like Freeware Files and Softpedia.

Hi I have good knowledge of few computer languages like C, C++ and currently learning C# .NET. To learn any computer language you should start with C because that creates the platform and then you can move on to C++ or C# or JAVA.

I learned from a video and figured out the rest on my own. I'm not the best, but I can understand it which means I can self-teach myself a lot. I'm not one to like doing it though. Its very time-consuming and it takes a whole lot just to do so little. Something as simple as a link for example is a long string of code. I'll do it, but I have to be bored or in a good mood.
