It helps to have a mentor. -How to study to become a software programmer? Classes meeting once per week and prividing you with assignments are usually best. Once you master the underlying concepts, you should be able to learn on your own from internet sites, magazines, and books. -I took a few programming classes, but I feel like programming is something strange. It is out or reach? It may be if you are not inclined to master mathematics and have a passion for creating software. If you don't like it, try something else. You want to do something that is inspiring to you. -Is there an easy or right way to study programming? There's nothing like doing assignments and writing lots of code. C# is the most important emerging language. Java is also popular and well established on multiple platforms. -Is it true that most programmers often get free codes from internet instead of starting programming from scratch? Using a working module as a basis for code is time saving. It can be used as part of a proof of concept, but should not be incorporated directly in the final product. -Is it true that when you study a programming class, you have to learn from book, and also how to use the software to compile the program? -Most instuctors provide the information in lectures, but that's the least effective teaching modality. You should be able to learn from books and the Internet. You can copy programs from a book, but you must learn concepts that you can apply to your own work. This comes after years of practice. -Why are the courses of programming classes in University are often hard or out of reach? In my opinion, if you have the proper foundation, they are easy. If you have difficulty with math or abstract concepts, you may need to do more class work in preparation. -Do you know some books which could help me to study programming? Try any step by step book in C#. You will need a current Windows operating system and you can download the C# 2005 Express edition from Microsoft at no cost to you.
