Is it possible to learn 3 programming languages at once?
The short answer is yes. You can choose any three language from same paradigm either procedural, object oriented or functional and you will see that they have many things in common which you can abstract. I would suggest not to do this and learn one language more deeply but if you really want to learn three languages and want to learn something worth of your time, go for OCaml, SML and Haskell.
I want to learn programming online. How is it possible?
you will learn ABOUT programming online. but you will learn programming offline. Yes yes, I know all about code .org and scratch, but I mean taking an online course vs programming. My point is that you need to make EXTREMELY simple programs, dozens of them. Don't start to make a program unless you feel you know exactly how to complete it already. I taught myself to program 16 years ago and I'm now a Senior Software Engineer with a degree in an "unrelated" field (education).When you feel you can make a program to make the word "hello world" appear. Make that. When you feel you can make a program to make an image of superman move from one side of the screen to the other, make that. When you feel you could make a tic tac toe game, make that. When you feel you could make a mario bros clone, make that. When you feel you could make a sentiment engine that analyzes twitter feeds, make that. In between those projects you'll be looking at other people's code, and trying little prototypes until you feel you're ready to make each one.Things in books make WAY more sense once you've actually needed them, so you will read books (take courses) and have fuzzy ideas, then you will try to code, and get stuck, then you will go back again to the same book or course, and suddenly it makes perfect sense because your brain latches on to where each of the concepts fits into your program.
Is it possible to learn french in 3 months?
With Rosetta Stone, it is impossible to achieve fluency in a language. Yes, you can become proficient, but you can only become fluent through an extended stay in a country where they speak the target language. If you did Rosetta Stone for three months and then went to France for another 3-6 months, you would be speaking very good french. Still maybe not fluent though unless you happen to speak some other romance language (especially something like Catalan). So to answer your question, it depends on your definition of "learn". You can speak much better French after three months of Rosetta Stone than you did before those three months, but it will only be intermediate French if you really work. You won't be able to achieve fluency or begin to master it. If you already have basic knowledge, go to Canada or something for three months, and that will go a LONG way. Rosetta Stone basically tries to imitate the way a baby learns their first language by eliminating translations to your native language and using word-picture association. Useful, but you can only do so much with it. It gets more complicated than just this once you begin to learn complicated phrases and grammatical structures, but this is the basic idea.
Is it possible to be a good programmer if I learn to program alone and Google is only my friend?
Absolutely! Where do you think people have been learning to program in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s? Schools and universities? Don’t make me laugh.Schools can teach you the basic programming concepts, but to learn – to really learn – how to program requires endless practice writing software, and making mistakes, and learning from your mistakes. This process may take years.I took programming courses in university back in the 1970s, but honestly I learned how to program on the job at various companies. On my own, with no help from anyone.And I am certain this holds true for most of my colleagues.Learning the basic concepts of programming isn’t really that hard. In the old days, we turned to books, but today you have a vast resource on the web. Google is your friend.So absolutely you can learn on your own because ultimately you will be learning through practice. And there will be no one to hold your hand.I recommend you read this: Awaiting Final Editing Before Publication – Learn How To Program. My tutorial should be ready in a few weeks, but there’s no need for you to procrastinate. Start now.Also read: What makes a programming language “cool?” – Hacker Noon.
Is it possible to learn all major programming languages?
It is possible to learn all languages but just think how huge application each of the language has.If you learn all of them than you will just end up doing simple things using that language, and will end up living a normal life-style. But if you learn the basic language (i.e. HTML, CSS, JAVA-SCRIPT) and then go for just some specific in any one of the filed then it would be better. By doing thing you can create something very beautiful using your knowledge. And now a days it’s to be successful in your life you have to master your skill knowing just simple thing wouldn’t help you. And integrating other tools in your program is not a bad thing.Let me give an exampleSuppose you want to run an e-commerce web site. For this you need good HTML and CSS for making website look good, then you need a database that can handle 100times more requests than any normal site, then payment gateways, then a support service for your customers and sellers. At last you need a good logistic that delivers all orders within time. And the most important think is security.So if have all the knowledge and you think I would do all the things by myself than it is very good idea but think it practically how much it will cost? Let us think you don’t care about cost then can you manage all things with great efficiency? No one cannot. Instead of doing all these yourself. You can collaborate and work. This will result out with high efficiency.Just check the image given below how big is one single thing “WEB DEVELOPMENT”. I am not talking about web designing you can take any of the filed and check hoe big it is.One cannot do all things. But one can master any one part of it. And by doing this you will end up living a very good life.This is only what I think. You can share your idea
Is it possible to learn coding on your own?
Yes, 110%.Easier way to learn is to try to implement it.When I was in college, I asked one of my senior ( He was best person of MCA in terms of learning new technology and implement it. ) what is the best way to learn new things ?He said he was buying books like C - 21 hrs, C++ 21 Hrs, PHP 21 Hrs, JAVA in one week. like that… and then reading those in small time and directly doing a project.Yes that time we were learning from books. Internet was costly. Now you have all these on internet.e.g. Say you want to learn PHP.Day 1 : Go to internet. Search about it. read it. ( you will get an overall idea )Day 2 : Either buy a course from udemy or find free course on youtube. And Explore it.Day 3. : Explore and Learn concepts.Day 4 : Start making SMALL programsDay 5 : Continue with doing SMALL programsDay 6 : Start a simple project with ADD/EDIT/DELETE/Display listing operations.Day 7 : work on project. Complete it.Day 8 : Try to check your code and think how more efficiently you can write it.Day 9 : Done. You got overall idea of web project and how to do it also learnt a new language.I hope this will help you understand. How to learn on your own. If you really want to learn the whole world will help you.All the best.
Is it possible to learn MS Excel in a weekend?
What I've learned from teaching the software is that it takes a minimum of 24 class time hours to learn all about Excel. If you were doing it on your own and you were fairly new to computers, it would take longer. If you are very comfortable wiht computers, it may take less time. Keep in mind that the 24 hours is a breakdown of 8 Intro, 8 Intermediate, and 8 Advanced Excel. The real basics can be learned in just a couple of hours. As with anything else, it takes much practice time to memorize some of the techniques used in Excel.
How long does it take to learn programming?
Now don't give me that 10 years crap because i see people as old as 16 freaking breezing through websites and getting the latest playboy issue for free. I need to knwo at what point can i write a program because if it takes 10 years to write a program i may aswell stop now. currently i am learning python via MIT's freecourseware on Youtube its a beginners class, will i be able to write my own program after going through that course?? also if someone experienced could give me a time spent learning vs the difficulty of program estimate . like if i spent 3 months learning what kind of program can i write??? and if you are interested i am 18 and my IQ is 119 i know its not that great but i think i am smart enough to be a programmer because i like to solve problems and i hear thats the big thing in programming.
