Computer Programming (First Time Programming)

[cjc18]

Hi Computer Software Developers

I have been getting into programming for the past few months however school has got in the way. I was wondering if anyone has any links or pdf files that I could use to help me with computer programming. It helps me if the words are color coordinated.Which language would be the best to learn if I am going to college and wanting to be a Software developer?

IN COLOR PLEASE!!!!!!

Thanks!

Scribd has a number of books (not downloadable, but just as useful). If you're visual, check out the "Head First" titles.

Or use google.

And there are torrents, etc.

Or, just buy it from Amazon, BookPool (well that used to be a better deal years ago), etc.

(Don't do anything illegal. Pay for what you read, otherwise good authors won't write anymore.)

I totally agree with you, I always pay what the authors want for the books that they write. I am a visual learner so thanks!

Honestly, it doesn't matter. Pick something and stick with it for a little while when you first get started. Everything you learn will transfer to other languages in some way. In college you will generally have to use a number of languages. My recommendation would be Python:
