Learn Programming The Easy Way

Hi guys this is my first blog about programming.
Here I intend to teach you how to write programmes on your own without having to read from the book after each line.
I have extensive teaching experience with students of all ages. I have been teaching for the past ten years. I have taught many programming languages and tools with ever changing versions and syntaxes etc. I started long time back in the early 90's with my favourite GW-Basic and fell in love with the concept of creating things from the scratch or watching somebody else use the utility you have created. Then I progressed to COBOL and FORTRAN in between all this I learnt dBase,Lotus etc. COBOL was a language I never could appreciate because I never got a chance to work on a big data intensive project.A shame really would have loved to harness the power of COBOL and see it in action.Then I moved on to something which would truly open my eyes to the power of computer programmes and that was C. Yes you must have read it 100 times in various places and whatever you read about the power of C most probably is absolutely true. I learnt how the system works specifically the internal workings and the ROM-BIOS routines
or the DOS routines, Graphics at its lowest level, device drivers etc etc etc. As you can see I am a bit of a fan. Through C I learn assemble language and its amazing power.From then on I have learnt many languages but my favourite is still C. On pure windows platform nothing beats my good old friend Visual Basic. During my masters I went on to become a MCSD in VB.NET.
As for the students I have taught none of them ever failed in Computer Science nor they have ever got less than first class. I decided it was a time to share my style and experience with a wider audience and see if my technique can benefit people from all region. Thus I have kept it free and non-commercial.
The first thing you must understand that there is no shortcuts to learning programming. I have no magic wand which will make you an expert coder by just wafting the wand thrice.
What I intend is to make you learn programming by following simple examples which are described in a non-technical language with proper illustrations to match.
I shall give you simple exercises to make you understand as well as revise what you have learnt
