Default How do I make computer programs?

Well the topic explains it. Like how do I do it? I never done anything before or have a much clue about making programs. I just felt it's very amazing to create programs, so can anyone teach me? (Yes, I have learn nothing at all about creating programs so I want to know does anyone know?)

You'll need to learn how to code in various languages. (Not verbal languages)

It all depends on who's a fanboy of what, but basically, search vB, C++, Perl, Java and there's a few others, but those are the most common from my knowledge.

If you want to start off easy I'd suggest vB, if you're up for a challenge and want something that could come in really handy I'd suggest trying to start with C++.

I doubt anyone here can teach you. Maybe you should purchase a book for a common language..that is easy to start off with. After that transfer your skills to a better language such as C+ C++ and those others that i do not know . I started off with VB (Visual Basic) in school and it's amazing what you can do.

EDIT : Beat me to it :P

Greetings, and welcome to OCN.

A very broad question. I am not a programmer, but have dabbled in some Object-Oriented programming.

Coding is an art-form.

Best to take a class, or purchase a book or check out some books from a Library. It is probably a good idea to decide what you want to code for, then find out what language(s) serve that purpose best.

Sad that no one has mentioned C, but just its successors.

Oh my god, Syrillian, you're Buddhist...........=^^=..........*bows*.

Anyway you all mention of languages so can ya give me a little more details of what ya mean by language that is so called Java, vB, C++, C+, and C. What do they stand for? I've been through some sites that syas many things about lagnuage ubt I don't get it and I saw a chat of it and got me more confused. Please tell me what does it mean.

Here is an example, this might help you understand what we mean by code.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
FILE *file;
char filename[_MAX_PATH];
void main()


    {
    re_open:
    	system("cls");
    	puts("Type in the name of the .cpp or .h file whose #include files are to be read:");
    	gets(filename);
    	system("cls");
    	file = fopen(filename, "r");
    	if(!file)


        	{
        		printf("The file '%s' could not be opened.\n", filename);
        		system("pause");
        		goto re_open;
        	}
        	else

            	{
            		int icount = 0;
            		do

                		{
                			char line[256];
                			fgets(line, 256, file);
                			if(!strncmp(line, "#include", 8))


                    			{
                    				char *result;
                    				result = strpbrk(line, "<\"");
                    				result ++;
                    				result[strlen(result) - 2] = ' ';
                    				printf(result);
                    				icount ++;
                    			}
                    		}while(!feof(file));
                    		if(icount == 0)


                        		{
                        			puts("No #include files");
                        		}
                        		system("pause");
                        		fclose(file);
                        		goto re_open;
                        	}
                    }

It's just what they call it. It's still in the english language so to speak, it's just different codes do different things in each separate language.

Code:
Module Hello
  Sub Main()
      MsgBox("Hello World.") 
  End Sub
End Module
Code:
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";
}
There's vB and C++ doing basically the same thing, you can see how it's different. That's because they're two different languages.

Indeed... please do not bow... I am not worthy... I use technology.

If you are new to programming though, it might be wise to start with Visual Basic, or another Object-Oriented Programming program. That genre allows the coder to create objects such as buttons, toggles, and the like. Then code them. It is a good place to start so that you can get a feel for logic and logic loops (Do until, For/Next loops, etc.) It will also give you feel for "scope", "Functions" and "Arguments". In order to code in VB you will need the program.

There is a high degree of probability that you are already overwhelmed by our posts. Head on down to the Library, or check out some online reading material.

Good Luck, and kudos to you for wanting to stretch your boundaries.
