[Kde-women] KDE Women - Introduction

[Henri Girard]

Hello :)
I have been a long time in your case... Wanting even to change job and working in computing... So I did it with books I baught... But at the end I got internet and learned everything with tutorials... At the age of 50y after waiting 25y I endly got the chance in France to get a training as Analyst ! 
But great deception : No much programming and old methods... i  found a job six years ago as analyst but I had a lot of work to train myself to a better level !!!
Now I soon in "retirement"... And just learned it won't be well paid ! As it should have been... Well doesn't matter : I just started to learn "POV-RAY" to be able to write a theory in maths and physics I am seeking for years !!!
So if you have internet and know english they are so many good tutorials than can make you a real good one, with patience and work :)
Kde-women is a good start : kdevelop will help you... I think what you have to do is in which "domain" you want to programm, and which language... c /c++, basic etc...
There is a good BASIC like visual basic on linux : http://gambas.sourceforge.net... And start ! Examples are many and working !!!
kdevelop too and kde apps... with gnome : glade (http://www.gtk.org) and follow glade links... http://anjuta.sourceforge.net an IDE ...
And if you speak french : Go to http://www.developpez.com...
You have all things from beginners to advanced programming : You can even be in a list or go in forum ... For linux you can get fedora or mandrake which are quite easy to install... And if you want more precise details, send me an email and I will see how i can help you... Communauty is a great family and when one is newbie.. (i am always newbie... lol.. Because there is so much to learn !! ) just ask for help... And be patient ! Some people are very nice other less.. But don't worry : Just tell them nicely they aren't very nice and usually they apologize !!! If there are gentleman or lady !!!
wish you good luck :)
Henri

  Talking about learning... I've been looking for evening courses like crazy and found nothing. No programming courses (unless you want to go back to uni and become engineer), no unix or linux courses. I even posted messages on the Brussels Linux message list and no one could tell where I could follow a unix or linux course??? The only thing I can find is expensive courses like red hat certification which must be 400 € for a 3 day course and you have to know the basics already...
  Any idea on how to learn programming when you're working all day and don't have much money??? ;-)

  Same for me. I did some basic and pascal in school, but today I wouldn't 
  regard that as real programming. I started learning C/C++ when I was 25, but 
  my main learning period was when I did a real large-scale project with 27+. I 
  learned all the things that can go wrong ;-) Today I'd say that 
  object-oriented programming like in C++ helps more against these faults than 
  structured programming in C. 
  I don't think age matt! ers and my experience is, that 14 year old boys often 
  want to show off themselves and that they can talk a lot of rubbish ;-) What 
  really matters is, that you don't only study books but do real projects.

  Welcome to the project :-)
