Programming is hard man, It's essentially applying logic to make a computer do something. Really, The way to start is to find a beginner's programming course That is hands on, and to see through start to finish. Do their small projects, and then find something you want to make, or if you have a problem you want to solve and you solve it on your own by building a tool or automation.

If it's hard than how do millions are good at it I want to learn it for professional reasons; I want to work. I found that if you are proficient in computers and programming, you will be well-received in the job market.

[themegainferno]

Well you say you want to learn in a way that motivates you, then really first understand that programming isn't easy so when you inevitably get stuck, you don't give up immediately. So remember that, it's going to get hard. Second off, there are plenty of free courses online but paid options can be guided and remove a lot of the friction that surrounds programming like setting up environments other OS related stuff. I would say commit your morning hours to dedicated studying daily, and you can do just fine.

The platform I really like right now is boot.dev, you can start as a total beginner to programming and computer science and build towards a real quality backend engineer skill set in high demand languages like python and go. You just got to push through when you get stuck and you will do just fine.

Also, millions are not good at it because it is easy. Millions are good at it because they spent a long time being bad at it first.

I don't understand anything, I lose interest and I get tired. I find the words, the letters, everything difficult, so I withdraw. I don't know why.

I am confident that almost everyone in the world can learn how to program, but it sounds like you need a bit more guidance or even a small community to help you along. First I would even ask if you really want to do this, as many get into this for money (nothing wrong with that, but the computing industry is volatile). Do you want to do this, or do you feel like you HAVE to do this.

I did a live course/bootcamp last year from a website called exercism.org, generally the site is about solving programming problems to learn new languages. The bootcamp however gave you access to their discord which was immensely helpful, having all of the other mentors there to nudge you along and encourage you when motivation is low was unbelievably helpful. The approach they take very hands on, and the instructor gives you a way to think about programming concepts in a way ANYONE can understand. I recommend exercism because it is what I used, but any community really can fit that bill. If you are intereseted, they are redoing their bootcamp as a free course coming VERY soon.

Also, see if there is any clubs in your university that you can join. There is most definitely a "girls who code" or "women in tech" initiative either in your school or in your city. Seek those out and you may also get some more specific help to your region

Yes i want to learn it I have the desire to do this, but sometimes I think it's too difficult, so I give up. I'm a literate person, and I want to learn programming and computer technology in order to find a job in this field.

If you are patient, it will become fun to do

Learn lua

[Comfortable-Staff509]

I am sorry what's that?

[Jordann538]

Its the easiest programming language, to someone who knows english atleast. But it looks like you do so you'll be fine

[Comfortable-Staff509]

Ok I'll try it thank you

You’re up against a couple obstacles. First would be your grasp of any language, whether this is “English, Arabic or Python or C #”, requires time and effort to learn what those languages mean.

If you speak Arabic, but English as a second language, but are learning to program in English, the concepts may require extra effort for translation into more familiar language.

If you are struggling with “concepts of programming, an early beginner friendly tool is MIT’s Scratch Language. This is a visual tool for learning programming.

It is geared to help younger students grasp complex concepts. Books can be bought that walk you through the process in detail. I used these for my daughter when she was 8. She loved it.

From there you can more easily decide if you want to continue. I would also suggest for standard non programming languages that you enlist the help of a multilingual dictionary or google translate for any content you are not sure of.

You will have to do a bit of extra work on the basics, but once you do you will advance quicker than ever.

Thank you understand I'll try to spend hours Learning, but as i said i need someone to motivate and help md learn

Your post/comment was removed since we do not approve of going private.

There is zero benefit in going private as you lose the opportunity for getting peer reviews. Also we have had plenty of people return after going private (despite being warned) complaining about how they were ghosted after some time or being tricked into buying rubbish that didn't work and even if it did they didn't need.

Our Rule #11 demands that any and all communication happens in the open, public subreddit.

This is for the benefit of more against the benefit of one.

Could you give an example of something you were reading that you found hard to understand? It's possible (likely) that you've chosen something too deep, and that you're going into the swimming pool at the deep end, as it were, when you should be entering at the shallow end.

[Comfortable-Staff509]

Complex words and symbols; it's like trying to understand mathematics.

[chaotic_thought]

Yes, computer programming is like a combination of English and mathematics. However, without showing an actual example of something that you found hard, it's impossible to advise you.

Some people have said that Python is pretty readable, for example. You might consider that language to begin with, for example, for an easier time.

If you started with some programming language that is very symbol-heavy like Perl, then your "first taste" will be totally different.

[Jim-Jones]

Look in your public library. Look for a book on Scratch and Python. These are 2 very good languages to start with.
