I am writing this article with the idea am showing you what needs to be done if your interested in programming to teach or use it for your own benefit. Many teachers who teach computer courses to students want to increase their knowlege of programming to move their students forward.
Starting out as a beginner programmer choose a programming language to learn! There are many different languages! HTML5 would be easy to learn! Just google html5 tutorials and build your knowledge of html5! If you double click on your html5 file it will run in your browser and can see your html5 file! A good site to search would be youtube.com. They have tutorials that help even the most experienced programmer. I myself have used this site in order to learn areas that I need more information about before I attempt to do what it is I am looking to do.
You can use a text editor like notepad and instead using the .txt extension you save it with a .htm or .html extension! Call the file what you want! The first file of a website is usually index.html Notepad comes with every windows computer. However there are better text editors and some are made with programmers in mind. A good one is textpad and that is what I use. Another one is Notepad++. You have to pay for textpad, but notepad++ is free to use.
There are other programs that allow you to make programs in different programming languages. You can google them.
These programs will help you format your program in say HTML5 and use proper syntax.
Then use a html tutorial to teach you the format of a basic html5 file! Then just copy it and when done after you save the file double click by on it! It will open the file in your default browser! If you don’t like your default browser then change it to another one. When you double click on the .html file the file will open in your new default browser. Then just learn as you go with the tutorials!
Any browser will do as your default and will open your html5 file.
Once you know html5 learn CSS which adds knowledge to your html5 knowledge! Then learn JavaScript, then xml! jQuery is another language to learn to enhance your html5 education. Each separate language gives you more knowledge and you gain skill by knowing as much as you can! There are tutorials for each of these languages and then play with them and see what you can do with them
Before you know it you can program a website just like a champ.
There are other languages like C, C++, python, pascal, ADA, C# and many many others! You will learn that different languages are used best for different uses and different types of apps!
Programming is like trying to learn anything else in life. You start by learning one thing and getting good at it and then moving onto the next thing and building your knowledge as you move forward. The idea here is you are building your vision of where you want to be in the future. Build the vision of what it is your trying to do for yourself.
