- 2. Programming is the most sought-after skill today. “Software Engineer” is the top in- demand position in the industry. Considering the huge demand for skilled programmers, it makes sense for job-seekers to learn to programme. Learning programming seems difficult to many. This is often because of the wrong approach they apply to learn to code. People aspire to make complex applications, and they often don’t even know basic programming. In this article, we’ll see how to learn to programming in a proper manner. This article would be useful for both, the job-seekers and students. 
- 3. 1. Get familiar with a programming language Getting comfortable with a programming languages is the first step towards learning programming. People often start with C, C++, Java, or Python. I personally prefer C++ in the beginning as it is neither too simple (like Python is), nor too deficient in terms of libraries (like C is). C++ is pretty fast and has a good library support too – best of both worlds! Also, C++ is a good choice for competitive programming because it is pretty fast and has the support of Standard Template Library (STL). The choice of the first language is highly subjective based on your interests and goals. You may be interested in front-end, back-end, mobile app development, game development, data science, etc.
- 4. 2. Learn Data Structures and Algorithms Once you are comfortable with any of the languages mentioned in the above section, the next thing you should do is learning data structures and algorithms. Data structures and algorithms help in building the right aptitude required for programming. Knowledge about the data structures will help you in choosing the right one for the problem you are solving – not all data structures can be used everywhere. When you learn about the algorithms, you will be able to understand the working mechanism of many library functions, which, otherwise, would come across to you as black boxes.
- 5. 3. Get your hands dirty with competitive programming Once you have learned data structures and algorithms, you should start solving problems on websites like SPOJ, Codechef, Codeforces, Topcoder, Hackerrank, Geeksforgeeks etc. The more problems you solve, the better it is. It is better, though, to solve problems in increasing order of difficulty. You can sort the problems in descending order of the number of submitted solutions and start solving. After solving around 100 mixed variety problems, you will become confident about your programming skills.
- 6. 4. Make a project Now that you have enhanced your problem-solving and programming skills, it is time to create some useful applications. You can pick up some popular web development Framework (Django, Flask, Ruby on Rails, etc.) and make a project using it. Making an application will give you a feel of actual software development, which is what most of the programmers do. Once you have made some web development projects, you may like to try your hand at Android or iOS development.
