What textbooks for engineering are standard for all undergraduate and graduate students (1 Viewer)

The best way programming imo is learn Python -> Java -> C in that order.

Don't try to learn programming by doing MATLAB or R. If you can handle the languages above, you can handle these - you just need to learn syntax which can be done quickly.

I've tried the syntax a bit already, but that was me testing out C#'s language instead.
Also, THANKS!!
Man... This website is good gold!
So, once I begin my holidays, I'll get into python right away!
Oh yeah, one last thing - How long would you say it takes to typically learn python and java respectively? (I want to give myself a time limit)

Define learn? Use an online course. After 6 months, you should be able to code a simple game

Ok good, a simple game via a course. I think I can crunch all that to memory in 2 days (assuming that it's like most traditional courses that are concept and fact-specific --> unlike skill share)

Hello

Hello. This is my info hunting section on the website, where I look for ideas on how to approach my studies in the future. By the way, why aren't you don't your school work?! You have to worry about yourself, you don't need to be on here for another 10 years!!

Hello

How's this, in 10 years and you figure out what it is you want to do, me and Hiva will personally teach you even though we will be 27 by then, how does that sound? Hahaha, that actually sounds nice!
Edit: this was my 100th comment... IT MUST BE A SIGN!!

That's all now for my questions so far. Thanks everyone, bye!!

Depends on what field you want to specialise in. I do computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which is very intensive on numerical calculations. A lot of open-source and academic codes are written in C/C++ or Fortran as they need to be highly optimised and so need to be written in a low-level language (Matlab would be too slow). However, Matlab is typically preferred in industry due to its ease of use. But as pointed out above, Matlab licences aren't cheap, so Python is usually seen as a more sustainable option. Where I work, a lot of Matlab codes are slowly being converted over into Python where possible to reduce the need for licences.

That's actually really cool! Your company would save a lot on a free language alone!

Yes. There's an endless amount of mechanical engineering fields, each one having their own relevant skills. I'm just listing out skills that are likely to be useful based on what I've seen. My point is that it's better to learn Matlab than read a textbook in some obscure topic, as the former is more likely to be used and has a more employable and transferrable skillset compared to the latter.

I meant more in the context IT. But yeah I'll will take your word for it.

I messed the school I'm going to for help on the programming language advice that was given here, and they gave me two links to work on my development and design skills!!:
