Does anyone know if theres a complete guide (or complete guides) to programming that take you from beginner to professional level? Not that I want to get a job as one but I would like to have the option and I'm just wondering what it takes to get there and if this is all sort of consolidated into one resource. Before you answer yes I'm sure your day to day work is mostly googling, procrastinating or ductaping things together and learning on the job, so no smartass answers here. If you want a specific field and language a guess c++ and game development thought really if you have a full guide to anything its appreciated.

feels like a 4/g/ay tier post. you're more likely to find professional full time neets here than students or people who are interested in something as complex and dedication requiring as programming

but you aren't going to find some universal one for everything guide because that would be way too weird for most readers. just think what it would look like if you tried to write a book that teaches the reader everything about the hundreds of unique languages that there are...

Yes, there is.

First, pick a language, I’m tempted to say python, but a strongly typed language would be better. Fuck it, learn python. It’s decent enough to get you going fast.

Other very approachable languages are JavaScript*, PHP* (no, it does not suck(anymore)).

*there are very interesting frameworks for those languages (vue, react) and Laravel. Those take care of many common things and get you building things and solving problems. Fast.

There is a difference between computer science, programming and software engineering. Keep this in mind!!

From your question I think you’re interested in software engineering. Not programming or CS.

The first thing you should do is get comfortable with any language. Let’s stick to Python for this.

Imho the Book “lean Python the hard way” is really really worth it. Do as the author says and hang in there.

On top of that learn to interface with your system. Make some API request and display them. Try to generate something with a library (for example pillow for python).

Save some data from an API into a database.

Btw, don’t sweat it. All of us use stack overflow and Google the most trivial shit.

Aaaaaaand: before I forget it, get a VM with linux. Something like Ubuntu or mint. You’ll use that as your testbed so you don’t wreck your main system.

Other things:

Read about GIT (version control)

Get a decent editor (atom, sublime or similar)

No go out and be wild!
