Programming for a beginner

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I have owned and used a PC for about ten years and feel (fairly!) happy
about using it now, but want to learn about programming and to write my
own programmes.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

My computer runs on Windows XP.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I suggest you check with your local community college and begin by taking an
"Intro to Programming" course. That will introduce you to the basics and
from there you can more easily pick a programming language to use in further
developement.

Thank you SkyKing and Rotric (Man Utd?? Not THE Man Utd, surely???) for
both your suggestions.

I shall certainly look at Python, but shall also investigate local
courses. There won't be much in the town where I live, but I reckon
there may be something down in Aberystwyth, about thirty miles away.

Many thanks again.
