How to Program Software

Many people have great ideas and they want to make it a web software or a desktop software that other people can start using for business or lifestyle immediately!

1. Learn about open source software on the net. The greatest open source software is Linux. Try out a distro of Linux, like Ubuntu. www.sourceforge.net is a good place to find such software.
2. Download a free text editor such as Notepad++ or bluefish. Or for writing source code of a particular language IDE can be used. But IDE isolate you from some inner mechanics of the languages, so until you are experienced avoid IDEs.
3. Set up the coding environment. Download MySQL Database and use LAMP/WAMP Server for great ready environment to get started(if it is web programming). Set up JDK for Java and so on.
4. Use Google and Youtube to learn about programming. Read books on your subject too. http://www.daniweb.com is a cool place to discuss some problems of coding.
5. Use online ready built scripts that other have created to get you in the mood.www.planet-source-code.com is a good place to find them.
6. Joining e-learning services such as lynda.com and others works well for fellow programmers.
