Programming This forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

programming learning way


I'm new in programming. I learnd the python and c/c++. But learning programming need tryning a lot. I know I sholud read the sources and write alot. But I'm so dummy about it. what I should read. which source? All are so difficult for me (I want c/c++). From where I should start. why there are few code in C.
Note: with all this I LOVE programming and I enjoy it.

First, focus on one question at a time. In your case, I think we need to understand more about what books you have read and whether you have taken any formal classes.

Regardless, there is no substitue for actually writing programs. Most books talk you through simple examples.

My standard recommendation is to read a lot of programming questions on this forum, and try to solve the problems on your own. Doing this will expose you to a lot of common programmer errors, especially the kind typically made by novices. It will usually be accompanied by at least one good solution, as well as some narrative describing what the error was and how it was corrected. In some sense, it is like the experience of teaching someone else for the purpose of increasing your own knowledge, which I find works very well.

I recommend if you want to get really good at programming, read "Write Great Code Volume I - Understanding The Machine" and "Write Great Code Volume II - Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level". These to books will take you from a computer NOOB to thinking like a computer. The more you understand how the computer works the easier programming will be.

This is how I got started in all of the different areas of Linux C programming I use. Here are some other good boards to learn from:

Not to disparage taokira's worthy comment, but it always bugs me that Google has somehow become seen as a kind of owner of Usenet, which it isn't. Usenet can be viewed by any number of news readers, including most, if not all, Mozilla mail & news readers, and a plethora of other special purpose applications for reading Usenet news. Sorry for jumping off-topic, but I just wanted to clear that up.
And to second what taokira says; comp.lang.c and its kin are very good sources of programming knowledge, and the archives are huge.
