If you buy a new computer, make sure that it has at least 4 GB of RAM and a fast Internet connection. Not only web development, but also repository-based deployment will then be stress-free. A screen with a high resolution offers you more space and freedom to maintain an overview. That&rsquo;s all it takes. Even a current-generation Raspberry Pi offers virtually all the hardware you need to get started with programming. Whether you prefer Linux, Windows or iOS as your operating system is entirely up to you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Think_logically_and_tackle_technical_challenges_in_a_structured_way\"><\/span>Think logically and tackle technical challenges in a structured way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">To program successfully, you need to <strong>practice thinking logically<\/strong>. This includes <strong>learning to tackle challenges in a structured way<\/strong>. Your motivation should always be to tackle technical challenges <strong>in a solution-oriented way<\/strong>. It is equally important to <strong>be creative<\/strong> and have a certain <strong>technical understanding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Command_Conquer_strategy_for_programming\"><\/span>The Command &amp; Conquer strategy for programming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you practise breaking problems down into individual problems, this will help you to think in terms of <strong>functions<\/strong> and object orientation when applied to programming. <a href=\"https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wiki\/objektorientierte-programmierung\/\"><br>\n<strong>object orientation<\/strong><br>\n<\/a>. Put your thoughts on paper in the traditional way or take notes digitally. Both methods are basic approaches to problem solving for every programmer!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_have_the_stamina_to_learn_programming\"><\/span>Do you have the stamina to learn programming?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Fortunately, you don&rsquo;t have to have all these qualities right from the start. You can develop many skills over time. So if you are willing to work hard to learn something new, then you can learn to program!<\/p>\n<p>So far, I don&rsquo;t know any programmer who has learned all their programming skills within a few days, even if <strong>programming bootcamps<\/strong> often promise something different&hellip;<\/p>\n<h3><em>&ldquo;&hellip;but you have to start programming!&rdquo;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">You don&rsquo;t need much to start programming. A good text editor and a little patience are all you need to program. As soon as you have some experience, you can acquire other useful tools to make your life even easier.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_fool_with_a_tool_is_still_a_fool\"><\/span>A fool with a tool is still a fool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>&ldquo;A fool with a tool is still a fool.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There is a lot of truth in this saying, which also applies to learning programming: In the beginning, complex tools will confuse you more and prevent you from achieving your actual goal, namely learning to program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">Even a professional development environment, such as a powerful <strong>Integrated Development Environment (IDE)<\/strong>, hardly helps beginners with programming, but requires additional learning effort. At the beginning, such complex tools tend to be confusing for programming beginners and sometimes create a learning block due to their complexity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><a class=\"fusion-modal-text-link\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\".fusion-modal.iTUNES - ENGL - Trailer - Rock the Prototype - Software development &amp; Prototyping\" href=\"#\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/rock-the-prototype-software-development-prototyping\/id1684835330?i=1000610789144\" height=\"175\" frameborder=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\"><\/iframe><\/a>\n<div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p class=\"p1\">Now that you have everything you need, you can finally start learning to program! It&rsquo;s best to start with a tutorial or an online course. If you choose a tutorial, make sure it is up-to-date and teaches you everything you need to know. However, if you opt for an online course, there are various options: You can either book a course for a fee or opt for a free alternative. Both have their advantages and disadvantages &ndash; decide for yourself which is best for you.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_What_programming_skills_do_you_have\"><\/span>Step 2: What programming skills do you have?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">On a scale of 0 to 10, how would you rate yourself if 0 is no programming knowledge and 10 is advanced programming knowledge?<\/p>\n<h3>Scratch &ndash; Programming like playing with LEGO<\/h3>\n<p>If you start from scratch, the graphical programming environment <a href=\"https:\/\/scratch.mit.edu\/\"><br>\n<strong>Scratch<\/strong><br>\n<\/a> is definitely worth a look.<br>\nWith its integrated development environment and closely linked online community, Scratch not only helps children and young people to understand programming.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3411\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3411\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1988\" src=\"https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Scratch-visuelle-Programmierumgebung-zum-programmieren-lernen.jpg\" alt=\"Scratch - visual programming environment for learning to program\" width=\"1280\" height=\"743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Scratch-visuelle-Programmierumgebung-zum-programmieren-lernen-200x116.jpg 200w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Scratch-visuelle-Programmierumgebung-zum-programmieren-lernen-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Scratch-visuelle-Programmierumgebung-zum-programmieren-lernen-400x232.jpg 400w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Scratch-visuelle-Programmierumgebung-zum-programmieren-lernen-600x348.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Scratch-visuelle-Programmierumgebung-zum-programmieren-lernen-768x446.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Scratch-visuelle-Programmierumgebung-zum-programmieren-lernen-800x464.jpg 800w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Scratch-visuelle-Programmierumgebung-zum-programmieren-lernen-1024x594.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Scratch-visuelle-Programmierumgebung-zum-programmieren-lernen-1200x697.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/rock-the-prototype.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Scratch-visuelle-Programmierumgebung-zum-programmieren-lernen.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-3411\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scratch &ndash; visual programming environment for learning to program<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Scratch supports learning to program in a visual way, but is much less childlike than Apple&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/de\/swift\/playgrounds\/\">Swift Playgrounds<\/a>.

This is especially true for programming &ndash; there are so many different programming languages and technologies to create something new.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Are you just missing an idea for your first program?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So if you&rsquo;ve only just started or are still finding out what programming actually is, we have a few suggestions for you on the best way to get started.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">One of the best things about programming is that there are no limits to your creativity. So you can really program anything you can think of.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To give you a few ideas, here are some suggestions for your first program:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">A <strong>simple calculator<\/strong> &ndash; This is a good way to learn the basics of programming and see how a program reacts and what happens when you enter certain commands. Perform simple calculations or maybe even something more complex like logarithms and trigonometry.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">A <strong>to-do list<\/strong> &ndash; This will help you learn the basics of programming with creating lists and storing data in variables (usually strings). You can also find out how to use timers and alarms in your program so that you are reminded of certain tasks. There are many different types of programming, but if you&rsquo;ve never programmed before, it can be difficult to know where to start.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">A <strong>quiz game<\/strong> &ndash; enter questions and answers and see how well you do at the end of the game. This is a fun way to learn programming while learning about a topic that interests you. You can enter questions about your favorite topic and the game could be either multiple choice or true\/false.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">A <strong>converter program:<\/strong> Convert numbers to other units, e.g. kilometers to miles or different file formats such as PDF to JPEG.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">A <strong>drawing program:<\/strong> display letters, numbers and symbols in different fonts.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">A <strong>music program:<\/strong> play songs or maybe even compose your own music?<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">A <strong>photo editing program:<\/strong> edit and embellish photos or create new images with your own photos.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Motivation_for_programming\"><\/span><b>Motivation for programming<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Follow your resolution to become a good programmer or simply to learn about the basics of programming.<\/p>\n<p>No matter which path you ultimately choose &ndash; it&rsquo;s always a bit difficult at the beginning and you have to get used to the new environment first. So don&rsquo;t be discouraged if it doesn&rsquo;t work perfectly at the beginning and persevere! With a little patience and hard work, you will soon realize how easy it is to learn programming and you will soon be able to celebrate your first successes.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you think that you are not good enough or that you don&rsquo;t know how to start improving your coding skills. You are doing all this for yourself alone, for no one else. And technical skills &ndash; such as programming &ndash; are always an investment in yourself that will guarantee you a very good job!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schedule_fixed_learning_times_for_programming\"><\/span>Schedule fixed learning times for programming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">It&rsquo;s worth spending a few minutes a day learning. Scientific studies show that programmers who learn regularly retain what they have learned better and achieve their goals more often.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Set aside time to study and set reminders in your calendar, such as your smartphone, to remind you to study.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But don&rsquo;t worry, with a little practice, perseverance and the right support, anyone can learn to program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, what&rsquo;s stopping you from trying it out?<\/p>\n<h3>Team coding &ndash; Rock the Prototype!<\/h3>\n<p>And now that you&rsquo;ve read this article and found Rock the Prototype, you&rsquo;ve also found a new way to share your passion for programming with others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Rock the Prototype<\/b> is the new, innovative hands-on format in which we design prototypes together as a team.
