Hello! My name is Kristoffer Andersen and there isn't happening anything much in my life so I decided to start coding and I'm 16 years old now so Its the perfect time to start.. I started coded a few months ago and have now downloaded and fully installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and I have a HUGE question for all of you.

Do you have a Template for me? Doesn't matter if its half-finished or finished... I just need something to practice on.

Thank You.
Regards
Kristoffer Andersen

Solution 1

Don't try to learn programming be "templates", this would be counterproductive. Take some book on programming and programming language of your choice and read it from the beginning to the end, trying to solve all exercises. In the meanwhile, try to read other books on theory and other languages and technologies, trying to focus on the fundamentals. (The second advice is very vague and hence much harder to follow; I almost never had to answer such questions from a person who is starting programming in general, usually such questions are asked by people trying to learn some particular technology and/or language. The idea is to get some general education, not just concrete knowledge. Anyway, this is quite possible.)

Good luck,

+5, while boring, starting off with fundamental tutorials will help greatly in the future. New programmers should expect to do a few months if not more of boring console applications that teach things about basics like math, if/else, loops, etc. Don't complicate things by trying to shoe-horn new experience into a "template" that doesn't end up teaching anything but bad habits.

Thank you, Ron. I would only say that it is not boring. For people who are really into this activity, learning some part of technology from scratch (if this technology fundamental enough, not yet another boring API for yet another boring application system), is usually the most exciting part. Yes, polishing more complex exercises when the idea is already clear could be somewhat boring, but even that could be made exciting if one approaches such work from the standpoint of perfection and making far-reaching conclusions for future steps. Your point in last sentence, "don't complicate..." is very good; indeed, what seems "simple" turns out complication...

If you mean "template" = "sample code", please refer this: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/[^], BUT... i would strongly recommend to read Sergey's answer carefully and start learning with good programming book.
