I always wanted to be a Programmer?!

Question

I really really want to go far in this, but to my dismay the technical languages seems intense. and it seems to have a lot of rules and guidelines, all I want is not the easy way but a clear one.

How could I go about learning Programming and effectively?

Answer 1

tl;dr - Congratulations, your programming life doesn't suck anymore! You have SoloLearn in it now! =^=

Answer 2

most programming languages work on the same principles. They all have variables, strings, integers, loops, if/else statements, etc

My point is, they all have the same stuff, the difference is in syntax (how you write the code) .. Start with Python. It is easier to read than most and a great place to learn basic programming principles. when you have a good hold on the basics, go forward to any language you want and learn the syntax for that language.

Most important thing, don't skip lessons. take it 1 lesson at a time, and practice the thing you learn in it. even simple stuff you understand, play with it anyway. and when you move on and learn a second thing, combine them when your coding. practice and it will all start to make sense.

Answer 3
