  • This is good. But what I tell you is, if you want to learn programming, go to a proper place such as a university or something. Do a degree like software engineering or something. Thats the way to go.

    My opinion is,, if there's great desire to learn programming, the best thing someone can do is read references..
    Everything is in books,, u just need the potential to read them :):)

    If you want to learn a new technology what you suggested could be the best method. For an example if its Grand Central Dispatch you want to learn, there are docs you can refer and learn. But if its for-loops or while-loops you want to learn, don't expect them to be there in those docs (they could be, but don't expect).

    References are good for learning new technologies. But you need to have killer basics. Even in the industry there are so many people who would like to hire you and teach you the technologies being used at their places. But no one would like to teach u basics.

    Basics consists of couts, printf commands to for-loops, if conditions and it even then goes beyond that and covers design patterns, data structures, algorithms and things like that. Even a bit if Assembly will polish up your skills. It is extremely difficult to do all these by yourself. Specially when there are projects, researches and things like that are in universities.

    Thats why i suggest to go to a proper place. Passion is not enough. I have seen a lot of people trying. But hardly they get to where they want to go.
