i have all ways wanted to learn how to code but find all tutorials don't go deep enough into the actual goings on in side. then they only give 2 or 3 examples of working code and leave you hanging hungry for more examples.

is there an in depth course here that will teach how to code with lots of examples i learn faster by doing rather than reading (not my strong point). i get lost easy reading. i can under stand the logic of the flow of code just need practical examples to follow. and be able to extract portions and combine pieces to make other working examples. i have several programmers and some chips to program i can list the types of programmers i have.

i would like to eventually design in maybe atmel or pic and help others that may have my learning disability.
thanks in advance

Do tell us what chips, programmers and software you have.

And do use proper capitalisation and periods when posting otherwise you will receive a citation from the AAC grammar cop.

 

here are pictures the first 3 are for a pic programmer next 2 are a atmega 128 could be modded for other uses later on the last 2 are an atmel programmer learning board with at89s52 on board and atmega-16 and atmega88-20 also came with2 line lcd and remote control. none of the soft ware is loaded to any of my computers i have serial to usb converters and can locate the software for them if and when needed. thanks for your responce

 

i think the atmega board might be the easiest one to star with, i don't know if it can program pic's with it.

 

the board is a deccanrobots.com EEDT-4.0-Lf-2.0 i am looking for software and manuals if available

 

Learn to read. It's much more important than coding. Once you learn to read...........you can learn anything.

If you can't understand reading, how can we answer you? Are you using a text to voice application?

 

i never said i cant understand reading, its comprehension. its comments like that which makes members not want to learn. thanks for your comment

 

I don't think you should bite over all three. Pick one that you think look most interesting, and start to search with Google.

 

the last one is the one i will start with i found all the info on it here (h**p://microcontrollershop.com/product_info.php?products_id=3741) it's my exact board.

Hah! What good is being able to read but not comprehend. I can read french, mais je ne comprends pas.
It's like hearing and not listening. It's like looking and not seeing.

 

it takes me longer to understand than some but i will get it with or with out your help. i have bin at it for some time now and have not given up yet. thanks anyway. just think the next greatest thing to come just might be me who invented it.

"Programming" can be broken down in to multiple phases, with the most important being understanding a problem and coming up with an algorithm to solve the problem. The actual coding is less important than the test plan that's developed to make sure the program actually solves the problem and is working as expected.

Being able to follow someone's code doesn't make you a programmer. Knowing multiple programming languages and hardware platforms isn't very useful if you can't solve problems.

I think the best way to learn is to find some problem you want to solve and work at it until you get it right. If other solutions are available, do yours first and then see how they compare. Did yours take more/less code, did it miss any (or catch more) conditions, etc.

 

Noticed that you "liked" my post while I was editing to add the third paragraph...

 

thanks i am just starting allover again from scratch going over the tutorial that came with the programmer.

 

Why do not use capitals in your sentences? Playing the stubborn millenial?

Now that I think of it, I learnt basics of programming with no so many examples (nor long ones).

Please focus on the most basic things (like how to set pins as IN / OUT, registers as counters or to hold data bits). And then how to read any of them.

After blinking the proverbial LED you could start facing more complex algorithms. Since I started I use flowcharts so writing actual code is just clerical work to me.

Sincerely, I prefer to study the datasheet and go from there. Buena suerte.

 

Many people start learning programming wrongly.
The best practice is learning the basic concept of programming first not the language or syntax.
Once you know and have clear pictures of programming you can go with any language (C , Java ,, Assembly and every programming language)

 

i obtained the op codes for the atmel programmer that way i can follow easier whats going on. i started taking a class years ago my teacher 's favorite comment was "order of operations" the one thing that stuck in my head. i guess i need to go to a avr site to look for more help. thanks every one.
