Thread: New Girl

I don't know where to start to be honest so I have decided to create my introduction instead my name is Greta and I am from Tampa, Florida. I want to learn about basic programming as I can see that my brother earns an extra income by doing a home-based job aside from his regular job as a web developer. I am a freelance writer and some of my clients demand some help in programming which I am not that familiar with the reason why I have decided to join this community. I guess that's it for now. I will try to do some back reading.

Welcome! Have you made a choice of language already? This forum is C/C++ centric. For the latter, check out this list of book recommendations. I most often see Accelerated C++ recommended by different people.

A very warm welcome to you. In here you will get to surround yourself with folks that know what they are doing and are ready to share knowledge with new programmers. when you are stock feel free to post your questions on the right category and be sure to follow up on suggestions made by other forum users. Once again welcome to the forum.

Thank you guys, you are so kind. I'm gonna go check the list of book recommendations @Adrian.

Not to discourage you from learning C/C++, they are awesome languages, but they have a steeper learning curve and take years to master them and write proper code ready for production. Since your goal seems to be making big bucks from freelancing, I would suggest to start learning with a language like Python which is easier, has lot of libraries in the open and more importantly lot of freelancing work!!
Good luck!

Hi, Greta. you're not alone. I'm a starter too and willing to learn about programming or anything about IT related works. I'm sure, there are a lot who are willing to help us with our inquiries. By the way, welcome to the group!

I am Leesa Johnson, newbie to this forum. I am connected here to discuss programming concepts with experts.
