I wanna start programming but where do I begin?
Do I need to be super good with math? I'm completely bad in math, what language should I start first? Which one would get me paid a lot? Would it be fine to learn it from my home instead of going to school? If I get really good how long would it take me master a language?

>Saying this on an anime imageboard
Dohohoho
>Good at Math
Nothing above algebra.
>What language
Depends on what you want to do. C# for desktop

>saying this on a norwegian clam bartering forum
hohohohoho
I would suggest y something basic like html it won't take long doesn't really require math and then start python or ruby

By posting more horrified qt grils.
>>53673874
Qt 4 or 5?
>>53674000
None, Qt is garbage.
Udacity + Code academy plus the rest of the internet

Better than gtk

You need motivation to learn it / a goal in mind

hahaha lol

Don't you have some features to remove and some animations to add?

>language
C++
I started with it and I'm good.
F# and C# are excellent languages to start with.
Note that F# is quite different from more traditional C-like languages.
If you're going to do a lot of programming, math is definitely worth learning.

>No QML
>good at math
No, but it is recommended that you know it. But even if you don't you can still program.
Start with any popular language: Java, C++, Python, C#.
>what language should I start first?
Plankalkül
Javascript. Since Node exists, there really is no good reason to use any other language.

Thank fucking god.
Where do you live OP? LaunchCode might motivate you a lot.
>Do I need to be super good with math?
No. You can do a lot, A LOT, of programming with very basic maths (knowing how to count).
>I'm completely bad in math, what language should I start first?
Python is the answer, always. Very easy and very powerful.
>Which one would get me paid a lot?
Any of the popular ones. Like python. But that doesn't matter because passion for what you do and willingness to spend time programming are the most important things.
>Would it be fine to learn it from my home instead of going to school?
Yes. But school gives you an environment for you to do it in, and a lot of guidance. If you're not easily motivated, then you need to join a school.
>If I get really good how long would it take me master a language?
All your life. You can always learn something some more. To get to the point where you're absolutely comfortable with a language (ie: you are aware of the extent of your knowledge and you know where to learn more), it'll take you like 3 months if you study a few hours every day. Seriously.
Programming, just like math, isn't something that only Super Geniuses do. It's what some people, even people you consider to be dumber than you, do everyday because they took the time to learn it and burn it into their brain. Taking the time to suffer with it is **everything**.
It's a lot like a video game. You start easy, and eventually you'll find yourself simply wanting to do more.
Don't spend more time reading about programming than actually doing programming. Instead of making this same thread every day for the next few months trying to soak in information, you would learn a lot more just by picking ANY programming language and actually programming.
You don't need to know a lot of math to get started, but remember that computer programming has its roots in mathematics, so if you start getting good at programming, you're going to have an easier time learning math. It's just logic.
Just pick any C-like language (C, C++, C#, Java) and start learning.
If you're more interested in web development, try out Javascript and jQuery along with HTML and CSS, and later on you can try out some server-side programming languages like PHP or Ruby on Rails.
This shit is easy, but it takes some work. Don't be scared, friend.

Stop trolling. Use Matlab OP.
