Let me know when you get it!
(Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Welcome to Dev.to!)
lol ass
Welcome!
Do you have any idea what area of programming you're interested in? Do you want to make websites, apps?
Have you begun learning any programming languages?
You've made it to DEV so you're definitely on the way!
My advice would be to sign up for as many email newsletters and web sites that can help you with your interest in whatever language that catches your eye. WebCodeGeeks.com and JavaCodeGeeeks.com are two that come to mind. They give you access to ebooks and articles that can push you forward. They've helped me get out of my funk to becoming a developer. And I'm just starting, too.
Awesome Will Do Bro
Get comfortable with the command line.
GIT
Watch some videos in you tube.
GIT in 100 seconds - youtu.be/hwP7WQkmECE
GIT basic commands - youtu.be/bbanTh2CoAY
Hope that helps. And once you've learned those. Get back in touch.
If you are looking at actual programming laguages (apart from HTML or CSS for web site design), I would recommend starting with Visual Basic. It is probably the easiest to understand for someone getting into the field as the syntax follows a logical word structure (If, then, else, etc).
Download Visual Studio and install it then the first thing i would do is look for code samples for things like "reading files", "saving files", etc. - it will give you some idea of how things work that is relatable.
Hope that helps and good luck on the journey. It can get frustrating, but is rewarding as well and always try to find code you can "re-use" first. No need in reinventing the wheel and it will help you progress much faster as you can see how something behaves and modify it to suit your needs.
Please don't learn Visual Basic first, it's an incredibly limiting language and the "simplicity" of it is also present in Ruby, JavaScript, and Python. I would highly recommend learning JavaScript first since it's going to be the fastest way to get a visual feedback loop on what you're doing.
Definetely, JS or Python, JS if any interest in web and specially front end and Python for almost everything else: web backend, ML, data science, etc.
Why Visual Basic?, I had to work with it years ago and I hate it, is heavily tied to MS, there is almost no documentation or outside help. If you HAVE to work in a MS ecosystem, go for it, but I don't see why would anyone with freedom of choice pick VB.
I have Visual Basic, Python3, Java, Im just messing around atm trying to remember basic git commands, next step is going to try and learn how to compile and run source code.
I am interested in Developing Apps and also learning to do some network sploiting
I work for the Us Army as a 97 Bravo and I do have a lvl 2 security clearance with DODAS but we never got this deep into coding
I admire you're interest in learning more. However; you should not advertise your security clearance, MOS, or location. Please be more careful with that type of information.
Gotcha
Setting up Java can take a bit of work.
If you want to write and compile code in java download a Java SDK.
You'll need the javac and java commands. And always start with a hello world example.
Have problems to solve you find interesting. Pick tools that make your experience better. Always look for things that make your life easier, your process smoother, your outcomes more predictable.
Never forget they the humble fundamentals are always important and worth practicing to be sure you’re not missing something obvious when tackling new problems.
There’s never been a better time to learn, so hope you’re having a great time.
If you wana see for yourself go to the Android Development Homepage and click on Platforms - Android, Turn on Accessibilty - Switch Access - And set up a switch. Go Back to the homepage and use the switches on the Java Images there... It unlocks a whole new world within Android once you start seeing the Patterns. Trust me it will blow your minds
You may need to turn on Developer Settings and GPU Debug I dont remember if I did that before Hand, needless to say once everything started "Running" I recieved an update from Google, and I was asked to submit a resume.....
What got me interested is I stumbled across something on Android Developers website messing around, to say the least Google is breaking so many privacy laws. But its kinda cool whats going on and what they can do
In what language you are trying?
