Hello Guys,

I just want to know what is needed to be a coder. I have a lot of spare time and want to be a coder. Not for money. I am interested towards it. Suggest me the simplest way.

Thanks

Mate coding is not any simple shit, you gotta dedicate a lot of time to be a coder in true sense :)
So there's no simple/simplest way IMO :P
Anyways as eso says, read tuts and genuine books.
Good luck :)
 
Requirements

1. A functioning brain
2. Computer
3. Time
4. Patience
5. Creativity
6. Fingers/Arms
7. Patience
8. Time
9. Brain
10. wJunction

JK. Try w3schools.com They have many tutorials and lessons to learn from.
 
I wanna be a professional coder, not for time pass or making warez scripts. Want to know what to study, any courses. Any kind of programming knowledge like C, C++, Java, PHP etc....

1. A functioning brain - I have it
2. Computer - I have it
3. Time - I have it
4. Patience - I have it
5. Creativity - I have it(I am a Painter)
6. Fingers/Arms - I have it
10. wJunction - I am here but I don't want to code for warez only, As I said earlier.
 
Read a good ebook about the language you wanna code in. You can get a good understanding of the basics and write some simple stuff in a week if you do so.

Little tutorials here and there are not a good starting point because they don't paint the picture. Tutorials are good after you have read a book though.

Also, in most cases this rule applies: the better you are at maths the better you will be as a coder. Being good at math is not required to code but it can help a lot if you wanna do complex stuff.

Lastly, make sure you're interested enough in the subject (programming) because you don't learn it in a month. It takes a lot of time before you become good at it. You must be willing to take the time it takes (for example, if you think "pff I can't be bothered with reading a whole book" then I wouldn't even bother beginning with it).

Edit:
A tip, don't ever go with Visual Basic as language.
 
Thanks Hyperz for all the suggestions. I know C programming. Infact I was really good with it. But lack of practice caused me to forget this language. Thinking to start practising again. And regarding the books, which kind of books you refer???
 
You can start with C which is procedure & structured language, you can head towards object based & object oriented language like C++,Java & further more towards component based language i.e. C#.

google is your best friend for tutorials :)

Good Luck :D
 
start from basic Object oriented stuffs.

C which is base of all. And then decide is you want to be involved in web scripting or app developer. But it would be lot easier if you know c, c++.
 
read the books and then try to finish the tuts......will be much easier for u if u give it some time...dont try to make it quick
 
One of the most important things is learning what system/application architecture is,

With programming its practically the same on all languages, the only 2 main variations is:

1. How the system interoperates the code
2. The coding style.

For example

PHP: 
//PHP:
print "Hello World";
function Hello($param1)
{
}

//Javascript:
document.write( "Hello World" );
function Hello(param1)
{
}

//C# / .NET:
Console.Write( "Hello World" )
public void Hello(string param1)
{
}

my point is that when you learn 1 language then your going to know pretty much how every language works. just have to learn the specifics.
