How to make a VERY basic computer program for a beginner?
Hi, I'd like to know how to make a computer/iPhone app, but a VERY basic one, I know pretty much nothing about programming, so I'm a beginner.
Same as any programming, learn a programming language. Write the code. Compile the code into a program. Debug the program to find any errors. Correct the code to fix the problems. Recompile and test again.
Great! Glad you're taking on such an endeavor, I was in your shoes about a year ago and now I'm programming robots running on microcontrollers, so don't give up, stay inquisitive!
Anyways, to answer your question, I'd suggest you first learn about the basic structure of a program, how to write logic statements, and how to use things like if else statements, for loops, and while loops using your knowledge from the two fore-mentioned topics.
I think you can download a free trial compiler for C++ Visual Studio from their website, and from there, fire up Wikipedia and let your mind be blown!
A famous first program is "Hello World!" so search that an maybe you'll find a tutorial to guide you through the things I mentioned above.
You need to choose a language (I suggest Java) and either buy a book or search with Google on the internet for tutorials. Depending on the language chosen you will have to download some software to help you write and compile the programs. The problem for you will be that understanding how the software works can be almost as frustrating as understanding how the language works, which is why I suggest buying a book before going anywhere near a computer. BlueJ is a much simpler development environment for Java beginners than NetBeans, but Netbeans and Eclipse are much more professional.
Plan for it to take a lot of time, and forget about iPhone/Android programming for the moment. Have fun and good luck.
- Why do I do this? I'm very very very tired yet I don't want to sleep? I want to sleep because I'm practically blinking and bobbing my head side to side like a drunken man but I just don't want to sleep. I watch tv or go on Facebook or play on my iPhone. And I'm starting to get dark circles. And as a guy I don't wear. Concealer or whatever
- What does it mean to be basic? Like a basic white girl? If someone was a "basic white girl" or "basic," what do they do, or how do they act?
- Objective C Programming - want to learn how to make an iPhone app (beginner)? I always wanted to learn how to make an iPhone app, but for that I need to learn Objective C, would appreciate any online tutors or guidance if any.
- My iphone screen is very dark, but if I look very close, I see the apps slightly? My iphone screen is very dark but I still see the buttons slightly, but I have to look very closely in order to. It is definitely not the brightness, because the brightness is set to 100% and its way too dark anyway. I tried restoring my phone and turning it on and off, but nothing is working. Please help. What do I do? I literally threw it out of anger and its fixed.
