Learn the ethics of software engineering!!
Programming is a very small and easy thing, but the main challenging task is to develop a software that works efficiently, is thoroughly debugged, reliable, well modularised, easily upgradable and maintainable!! :)


On what he sud put more pressure?

Put more pressure on analysis and designing part of the software!!

I agree with winrulz

[tuxfan]

Software designing / planning
Logical analysis and ability to understand flow of control
Imagination (for worst case analysis)
Database concepts (most imp - normalisation)

[casanova]

Dedication and commitment

to become the good programmer u shoud b fast enough to think over and above the situation,again wit innovative mind think for the implimentation,if u r just at starting position,strat to built small applications,if u want guidence then meet www.programmersheaven.com (http://www.programmersheaven.com) u will finding lots of source codes of various languages dere,go thuough that,u will definately inspire and will think to do like that,well everything depends up on ur capicity n effort u cn apply,dnt forger everything is possible in the world of software,....bye take care..........

Not agree to you at all. It needs a lot of hardwork and time also.

this normalisation thingy i hate the most

[tuxfan]

this normalisation thingy i hate the most :)) That is really very very important in all database applications!! There are no 1-2-3 kind of steps. It is very subjective and differs from scenario to scenario and person to person. So you need experience to get hold over it. ;)

First decide what domain you really want to be in & then concentrate on it.

[hash!!]

i'd prolly start by learnin a couple of languages... :P

[webgenius]

c is the basic for all programmers. For object-oriented environment, learn c++ and java.

[gxsaurav]

the most important thing i have learned from programing in actionscript, the only programing language i know is.....

Patience to type for 4 hrs straight....which i don't have :D, so left it

learning a programming language is essential for a programming career but I disagree completely to the concept of learning C++ or java first. I believe you can start with something as good as C#. It is so because whichever language you opt for or you master in, the fundamentals of programming never change. C#, C++ , JAVA are all in the same family. Starting with any of them you like is good for you. Though C++ is usable on more OS than C# at present. I personally learnt JAVA before C++ and I know it was a right decision.

HARD WORK IS NOT REQUIRED .... SMART WORK is required .... it just needs a spark.. try to make small programs in C, C++ etc... increase difficulty level day by day.. this way ur logical thinking power will increase.... remember.... PROGRAMMING SKILLS WILL NOT BE ACQUIRED JUST BY READING BOOKS ON PROGRAMMING... IT REQUIRES TO SIT ON THE COMPUTER FOR HOURS... PASSION FOR PROGRAMMING AND A LITTLE COMMON SENSE... U WILL DO IT...

I also agree... I know it is very helpful but I HATE IT http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/images/icons/icon8.gif

[tanmoy_rajguru2005]

U can start with C. its a basic and very strong language though a little bit hard. Then u can shift to C++ and JAVA. and ofcourse sit on the computer and try to write programs and do a little bit of experiments on the codes.

can i program a LED?? Means can i control it ??? Like at some particular time it sud glow and keep off at other times??

[jal_desai]

^^ ya obviously... u need a multiplexer ranging from A0 to A7 as outputs... some logical AND OR gates ... and ur done... i assume u have some book material... (there are plenty available... one is DIGITAL CIRCUITS by Anand Kumar...) follow it...However as of now...this may help :

But how wud i be able to code in C language using my computer and plz tell me in detail as i m new t othis field..

[planetcall]

lol you will never be able to be a programmer like this. Lol grow up and find a book in yr local bookshop. Self help is one of the biggest asset for programmers.

its rather impossible to program a LED using C or C++... u have to do some manual work.... i mean u'll have to use some hardware...
