After a novice learns a language. What should he study about OS and other concepts for solid programming?

I would suggest anyone to go into the market and learning the coming trend, if talking about the network utilities learn what kind of network utilities are in the market.\nFurthermore, research on the utility about who made it and in which language is it made.Being network programmer is bit more difficult because it needs you to learn networking first, you must be aware of the networking concepts osi layers and other stuff to prgram a network application.

I am not sure if you want to learn a programming language or learn about programming language (that is history).\nI suggest that you do a little read up on the history of Programming languages to understand how they evolved. \n\nYou can read a brief history at the following location:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language\n\nAnd if you want to learn a specific high level language like Java, I suggest you search for some good books or website that has a tutorial.\n\nI hope you do not mind me saying but I think you could really work on improving your english too. It would do you a world of good. I suggest you try using Wren and Martin to work on your grammer. I have read some of the questions you have posted. You really need improvement in your English. I hope you have taken my advice in the right spirit.

I have two answers for this question:\n\n1) Try any of Que's "Learn xxx in 24 hours" books. They are highly task-oriented, and spell out exactly how to do things quite clearly. There is a lot of information packed into these books. They also make a great reference after you have read them.\n\n2) C is *not* easy. You may be able to learn 80% of the syntax in a couple of weeks, but it takes literally YEARS to learn all of the finer points of pointers, modifiers such as "volitile", debugging, optimization, and GOOD programming practices. Simply nothing can replace experience and practice.\n\nNot trying to scare you off, but those are simply the facts.

Depends on what you want to be doing.  If you want to be working on hardware and deep internal software code, I'd suggest C (this will also help with javascript for the internet).  If you want to work with interface, you might want to look at Visual Basic (will also help with ASP for windows based internet servers).  PHP is also an up-and-comer in internet programming.

learn everything.\n\nCisco,\nOperating systems, (UNIX, Windows, Linux)\nalso don't abbreviate your words is a fine start. \nwrite like a normal person. \nwhen you have those figured out, then you can learn about security. those come hand in hand.

Get a For Dummies book or Idiot's Guide To book.\n\nOnce you're ready to program, get Visual Basic from Microsoft.

All you really need is a compiler and place to test it.  Although some languages don't even need a compiler.  If you have a Linux machine handy, shell scripting is a great place to start learning the fundamentals of programming.  If you know what you want to program, that's a really good start to finding the language that suits your needs.

frankly speaking most languages are related ie the syntax is similar so you if you can learn to code in one you can easily grasp the syntax in others and the logic remains pretty much the same..my suggestion would be you learn to program in a high level language like C++ or java..from there you can graduate to others..\n\nyou can follow this flow\n\nC -> C++ --> java -->javascript --> python --> perl...\n\ni cant comment about .net and apache since i have never used them\n\nregarding Visual basic its mostly a graphical interface with some basic programming so my suggestion is get a good book on visual basic or a good website and start fooling about with it..you can easily learn it in a weeks time\n\nThese two websites are good to learn VB\n\nhttp://www.vbtutor.net/vbtutor.html\nhttp://cuinl.tripod.com/tutorials.htm\n\nDreamweaver is a  WYSIWYG editor so even if you dont know HTML you can design nice looking websites restricted only by our  creativity..anyway learning HTML is easy...\n\nthis website is good for HTML http://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/

there is no such a thing as an "easy" or a "difficult" programming language.. it all depends on how u grasp the concepts/fundamentals of the language.\n\n\n well... since u seem to be a starter .. i would recommend "c"\nits more of system-side programming.. But all that i can say is that if u know how to play with "c", no other language would be a challenge for u.\n\nget started with "c". :)

Start with a teaching language such as C or Pascal, then move to an interpreted language such as Perl, Python or shell, then move to an object-oriented language such as C++, C# or Java.\n\nFrom a computer prof.

It really depends on what you want to learn. First, think about WHAT will you want to code mostly for (games, web, tools, etc...) then pick one of the many programming tutorials available online.\nIf you are interested on the real basics of the programming art, i would recommend you to download the following videos from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT: http://swiss.csail.mit.edu/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/\n\nEven if it is for LISP, it will give you a solid understanding of the essential "ingredients" of a software application.

A specific language, like C++, or programming languages generally? There are numerous languages, depending on the purpose. If you want to be an expert in programming languages, you'd better plan on a degree in computer science, for one, maybe advanced study. If you just mean one language, then study it, use it, develop applications in it, join associations and clubs related to it, read everything you can about it, talk with other programmers, and after about 20 years, maybe you'd be an expert.

Visual Basic is an easy to learn language and info can be found on Microsoft's msdn site.^1\nIf you choose C++ (and I recommend it) then you should not have to worry about learning C, most the topics in C you'd learn in C++ and if you need to learn C later then it should not be a problem.\nMy favorite language is Pascal.^2 It's not that common a language anymore, but its got all the features of C++ and much easier to learn.\nThefreecountry.com^3 has links to just about anything programming related, and if you're looking for books the best I've seen is the "How to program" series from Deitel.^4

Install Linux. Study Apache and HTML. If you want more sophiscated websites, learn CSS, Flash, PHP, and MySQL.

if you wish to become a computer business man, in the western world, it will be wise to first master the language that you will need to use everyday.  Good luck

Get an old pc with MS BASIC on it, and then look around for a "Idiot's Guide..." book about BASIC. It's so out dated though... Why not learn C#, C++, J#...?

This isn't an easy thing to answer.\nIf you're going to learn a single programming language, learn machine code.\nI highly recommend learning C, HTML, JAVA at least. \nC will allow you to write powerful programs, and it's not terribly hard to learn.\nHTML and JAVA are both very easy languages that allow you to do web programming with great power and ease.\nThe great thing about these 3, is that you don't need any special software to write programs in these languages.
