How to become a programmer after completing Machanical Engineering?
You can never become a programmer after completing your mechanical degree , but you can do this when you are pursuing your mechanical course
I Personally feel that programming should be everyones second priority as now a days even mechanical engineering require programming when it comes to automation .
So just start learning from now you have to master atleast 3 languages I would suggest you go for C++, java and python after that go for data structure and algorithms .
Hope it helps!!!
hello roshan,
here is the brief explanation for you here
Learn
a language used professionally (like Ruby or C#; do research on how
different languages are used, how popular they are commercially, ... and
then go from there).
After that, practice for a couple years (the
length depends on you individually) by making small programs for
yourself, contributing to open-source (that'll probably come towards the
end), and just generally build your resume.
Do a lot of reading from
those who know a lot more than you (like Spolsky or Atwood, for
example). Read about advanced features of your chosen language (a ton of
resources online for that).
Read the seminal books of the field (like SICP, Code Complete, ..., and possibly TAOCP).
Learn another language if you have time, but don't mistake quantity for quality.
Finally,
a college degree in computer science/engineering or other such formal
education is VERY helpful in terms of both learning important concepts
and also looking more qualified to employers.
