Recently I saw somebody asked a question in a forum, the question is "Which programming language should I learn first?". Then someone answered this question. His answer:

This won't be a short post, but it'll give you a summary of close to a year's worth of trying to teach people how to program. We know what works and what doesn't, and so far there's a lot of stuff out there that just doesn't work, based on our own experience and what our paying customers are telling us (they're mostly people who tried and gave up on Codecademy, Codeschool, Udacity, and Coursera).

Teach children how to write computer programs British schools should impart skills that will help pupils create the next Google, Twitter and Facebook

If Programming Languages were cars, C would be a rough and tumble sports car crossed with a jeep. Not for everybody, but damned good to have when you want one

Textbook. The textbook Algorithms, 4th Edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne [ Amazon · Pearson · InformIT ] surveys the most important algorithms and data structures in use today. The textbook is organized into six chapters: Chapter 1: Fundamentals introduces a scientific and engineering basis for comparing algorithms and making predictions. It also includes our programming model. Chapter 2: Sorting considers several classic sorting algorithms, including insertion sort, mergesort, and quicksort. It also includes a binary heap implementation of a priority queue. Chapter 3: Searching describes several classic symbol table implementations, including binary search trees, red-black trees, and hash tables. Chapter 4: Graphs surveys the most important graph processing problems, including depth-first search, breadth-first search, minimum spanning trees, and shortest paths. Chapter 5: Strings investigates specialized algorithms for string processing, including radix sorting, substring search, tries, regular expressions, and data compression. Chapter 6: Context highlights connections to systems programming, scientific computing, commercial applications, operations research, and intractability.

"Processing cross platform and is a totally free to download, use and publish with programming language. The download includes the programming environment and compiler as well. Processing is based on JAVA and can use many different JAVA libraries. It has also now has the ability to compile apps for Android as well as run as Java Script. It is these to latter functions that I focus on for this site." Note that there are numerous references to the "Getting Started with Processing" textbook, available for a nominal charge at Amazon.

Threats related to Java programming language are increasing day by day. It also reminds about the old whack-a-mole arcade game. With the vulnerable version of Java, your computer becomes prone to malware or other threats.

The Botball Educational Robotics Program gives students skills, experience, and opportunities to succeed as they work in teams to design, build and program a pair of autonomous robots for regional and international competitions

Information graphics (or infographics) are used to display information in ways that are more creative than plain old text. These days, they surround us in the media, published works, road signs and manuals. Lately, the Internet has been flooded with infographics on various topics, ranging from science and technology to society and culture. In this article, we'll look at the process of designing an infographic about programming.

JavaScript, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and other dynamic languages are remaking the Web and bringing programming to the masses. Where should developers place their bets?

Kids Like . info is dedicated to bringing you the best, and most fun, educational resources for free. Our main emphasis currently is on teaching computer programming, math, and science. Information about business and innovation will be coming in the future.

This unit aims to teach students the fundamentals of games programming using Kodu, which is a visual game development environment. Using Kodu students will understand how to build a world and program characters and objects before moving on to designing their own games. Each lesson has a PowerPoint file that outlines the tasks.

For years, the lingua franca for desktop computers was the Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, a.k.a. Basic. Essentially every PC had it, and just about anyone could learn to program with it, even in a rudimentary way. Those days are gone

Bootstrap is a standards-based curriculum for middle-school students, which teaches them to program their own videogames using purely algebraic and geometric concepts. 

The whole point of LWJGL was to bring the speed of Java rendering into the 21st century. This is why we have: Thrown out methods designed for efficient C programming that make no sense at all in java, such as glColor3fv. Made the library throw an exception when hardware acceleration is not available on Windows. No point in running at 5fps is there?
