How To Become a COder?

Three things i learnt overall in 5 months and i think i am good in them.

Adobe Photoshop, flash
VB.NET - Can make own bot but i don't waste time
HTML

Three things are necessary to build money ;)
 
I would not suggest .net unless you are heavily dependent on its source codes from other developers.

I would suggest c# or python as a beginning language. C# is IMO better as a starting language than .net because of its syntax. There is no real other syntax like .net (but IMO .net is the easiest to understand for those without any programming experience), but with c#, the syntax is very similar to alot of programming languages out there and when you understand c# -- the transition of learning a new language such as java would be much easier than a transition from .net . my 2c
 
i want to be an eXtream coder..!!!!

will do whatever says the expers.
 
If you're a starter, read the ebook 'programming for dummies'. Im sure that would help alot.
 
Regardless of what platform you are looking to work on the best way to go is start easy.

Personally I learnt HTML first, then PHP/MySQL then JS, I taught myself Perl in some downtime yesterday and am working on .NET at present.

Create a hello world app.
Then create an app that performs a conditional hello world
Then create an app that grabs manipulates and displays data (web scraper)
Then begin work on something useful and you will learn as you go
Once you complete an app begin something new, once you complete your second project go back and completely rewite the 1st app with what you have learn writing app 2.

This is a really quick way to learn.

Why don't you just concentrate on PHP and be more Professional on it?

To clarify, you mean VB.NET, correct? Since C# is a MS.NET language; the post doesn't make much sense as-is.
 
THE BIGGEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE : Don't be too greedy at first, start with some simple things. Too many loosy ppl start to think "yeah i can do this

HTML:
<div style="color:red">Hello</div>

... so let's make a mmorpg game..." Only thing they can do it's to write the game's title without any SEO :)

Start small end big, be patient and try to understand how code works.

Personally, i've never learned any programming langage from ground 0, i've just learned practicing it in doing what i needed to do and few years later I run a webhoster :)
 
Some Great Gyan Out there eh :D

One thing to add, coding BH != coding WH.

You may be an expert .net enterprise application developer, but you might know shit about coding a bot or a captcha OCR module.

If you want to make a real career in IM, try to focus on BH side of things.

HttpWebRequest,HttpWebResponse or socket programming, Curl (if php), cookie manipulation and tools like live http header, firebug, paros proxy, http debugger etc etc

Learning browser automation could be handy for doing small methods or quick tests if a method works or not.
 
I started with php (easy to learn, fb api i s based on php)
next was java
and recently some 3d api for web like molehill and webgl.
Remember that money for coding is not such good idea, there are lots of programmers. It is better to make apps and sell them or better outsource part of the code making and only integrate it in your app. Very efficient, cheap with programmers from asia.
Start with php
