With this post, I am starting a little journey making an attempt to teach programming. Quite too often, programming is taught from the language point of view - showing the data types, the control structures, the libraries, etc. Here, we will take a different approach - or rather we will try to!I dont know how much my enthu will last for this adventure. It will also depend on how people (you, the readers/friends) react to this. Feel free to comment on the posts, I will try to absorb them into the writing as I go along.
I will use Java as the programming language. But I dont think, my approach and content will depend too much on the language. The attempt is not to make you a master of Java (or whatever language); but rather to make you understand programming. Introducing constructs, as we need them. Showing how the constructs help you solve problems.
Ready? Fasten your seat belt and come along….

Though archives do exist, but they”re in some chronological order, if possible, make one post as an index post, and as and when you add a new post, add a topic header as an entry to that ”one index post”, this might help in organizing content, topic wise, and will act as a guided tutorial.
