Hi ther guys
I've programming classes and this year I'm starting with visual basic
does anybody can tell me what's the best way to learn it? or every other programming language?Just a vew tips from those people who are used to deal with programming most part of their time.
thanks =)

Basically the best way to learn how to program is to study and use a few different ones like BASIC, C++ etc Learn the syntax and learn generic concepts like functions, iteration. Learn why things work not just how things work, learn about arrays and data structures, buy a book or two, search around the web.

The most important thing is to start writing code ASAP.

I though of getting a book really, but then I though if it was really worth at all, since I only learn VB during this school year, next year I'll learn other thing. I'm not sure really, plus its hard to find those books here, even though i've seen some already.
Thanks for the help =)

A book would be the best, get one on general programming rather than a specific language, this will get you familiar with the concepts so you can pick up new languages really quickly.

thanks for the tip once again. I might get a book soon really.

A book or ebook and you are in front of the PC doing the sample codes and exercises, in C++ an you will mostly see the term object and class.

I've never learnt much from tutorials, all the scripting and game developing i've learnt is by going through others projects and observing their techniques.. I never liked tutorials, besides few ;)

For someone like me, tutorials is the best :P
there's always my programming teacher ^^;

Yup and we have a couple of video tutorials as well.. i really love those ;)

Yep, I agree. I am a mainframe programer and even though I took classes to learn I got the best learning from starting to code myself in my spare time.
