How can you learn programming all by yourself?

Question

We have inept, completely useless professors who fail to teach us the very basics. I wish to ensure that I actually LEARN something rather than memorising codes for my theory exams.

Answer 1

to be honest without learning from an expert you cannot do very well in this field at least for programming basics a good teacher can save your several years in comparison if you go solo..

Answer 2

Watch youtube videos and practice.

Answer 4

That's very hard to support this kind "teachers" but firstly you learn for yourself.
Learn programming really request a lot of time and to get through this you can:
- Help each others with others students
- Watch some videos on Youtube OR buy 2-3 lessons on classroom websites to help you start (Ex of websites: video2brain, lynda)
- Read code from others and try to catch some mechanism
and for sure practice, practice, practice,...
