Learning To Programming

[UGN TechMan]

Hey if anyone is interested in learning computer programming here is a link of a guy on YouTube that makes great videos on how to program.

Hey man, thanks for the link. I do mostly tech work, but I am all about learning new things. Thanks again.

Yeah same here bro...could do with some C training!

Thanks man!

I tried Java, then Python, and then I winged PHP. Then somehow I ended up looking up C++.

C / C++ is my wheelhouse

Can you direct me to a good reference book or guide to better understand C/C++?

Crazy post there, i might have to invest some hours

It's been awhile since I used straight up C at work but I knew it really well years ago (yes, all of that pointers and memory allocation stuff). I've always been fond of The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie ... decent for both learning and as a reference.

I never found a good one to learn C++ from, learned a lot by looking at other people's code, but there are some good reference books. Though, you can't go wrong with The C++ Programming Language by Stroustrup (the language inventor).

If you want a career in C++ programming, you'll want to get your hands on a Design Patterns book (like the one by Erich Gamma plus other authors). You'll also want to learn STL and Boost (additional tools within C++ that have been added over the years). I don't have a book on either teaching them but I have found the Effective series of books by Scott Meyers to be really good at explaining good practices and what's really going on.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info Kuj! I write in vb, sql and oracle at the moment but where I design SSIS packages as well...knowing C would be handy for scripting!

I'll check those out. Thanks again man.
