First off, make sure you realize that this takes some time, and you're willing to be dedicated to it and patient with it. It's worth it in the end. Everyone has their own means of how they learn and what they learn, so do what works for you in the long run and you'll be fine. Many people prefer to focus on one language and master it before moving on, but for myself, I enjoy learning a lot of different things at the same time. Maybe it's my attention span, my passion, or a combination of the two, but it keeps me from getting burnt out or bored with one thing, and everything I learn seems to always compliment one another in some fashion. You'll want to decide at some point what type of programmer you're seeking to be, and what your long term goals are with the profession. If you have a vision, you have a direction to take, otherwise you wander, which isn't always a bad thing, but can always be a time killer of borrowed time. MY preferred languages: C# Java C++ Web: HTML5 CSS3 JavaScript PHP NodeJS MySQL jQuery First things first, you'll want to learn some programming languages to get started with it. Just like learning a language, you'll learn the letters and words, and eventually you'll be able to form your own sentences and translate your thoughts/ideas into this new language. SoloLearn offers a great starting point with many, and they're getting ready to release more advanced courses. What I do is read through the language fully, even if I don't understand. Then I practice it and do whatever I can remember to do. Then I read through the language again, this time I take notes of what I still don't understand. When I'm done, I research everything on my notes extensively and learn whatever I can on each one, then I practice again using the new concepts. Rinse & repeat the process until you master it. You'll want to practice often and create new things so you can learn new things. Making mistakes/errors is one of your great teachers, learn from them to improve.
