Tips for preparation

• The only real way to learn a programming language is by writing codes.
• Begin by coding simple programmes provided by any good textbook, run these, and debug them if they don't work.
• As soon as you feel confident, write your own programmes, like simple math, adding 2 2 together. Then, work in input statements "input a, input b:" and add those together. Then, work on a loop to make the program repeat and also to repeat until the user gives a command to exit the loop.
• Debug, comment, and think of more elegant ways of doing the same tasks.
• Then get into files, and reading in information.
• With the Open Source movement, you have a wealth of projects. Make use of these projects and try and understand these projects. You will also gain familiarity with some tools like version control and IDEs
