How to force yourself to read books on programming?

Question

Books

As a newcomer to programming, it is very difficult for me to read technical literature. Share the secret of how to force yourself to read these huge volumes of incomprehensible text?
PS: The option of working at McDonald's and sweeping yards is not suitable.

Answer 1

If you want to earn 10 thousand bucks a month, read on.

Answer 2

You yourself rejected the most effective options, I’ll just leave this here
PS without the purpose of offending or offending ─ just the most effective motivation in my opinion

Answer 3

As usual (this is a toaster) a million answers, tea is not something specific asked.
I'll add my five cents too.
Do not listen to stupid advice "start with thin bullshit books for beginners" - this is the way to shitcoders. If ahead - ten years of a leisurely process "learned - realized that it was wrong - learned - realized that it was wrong" - then yes, a hobby is no worse than any other. If the goals are more practical then:
That is, again and briefly. - English. Only bibles. Practice.
PS And stop asking "how to force yourself" - this is a scam. Sat down and did. If not, go sweep the yards.

Answer 4

This is not fiction, you just can’t read it - you need to put it into practice in parallel, then everything becomes clear. No more difficult than a textbook on mathematical analysis.

Answer 5

Start with examples on websites: hello world, variables, loops, functions, working with files, working with a database, a guest book. Try to understand how it works, break something. After that, if you like everything, you yourself will want to know more. And since there was experience with simple things, you will read most of the big book in one breath - just understand what you did right and what you didn’t. But then you will learn a lot of new things that you will also want to try.

Answer 6

No, either you understand that you need it and read it, or you don't. The results are according to the choice.

Answer 7

I see no reason to read "huge volumes of incomprehensible text." If you're not interested, you probably don't need it. Just practice, when the need to study deeper comes, you will feel the need to read. The main thing - do not do what you are not interested in.

Answer 8

If you force yourself, then nothing good will come of it. Try to show interest in what you will study.

Answer 9

Start reading books thinner and clearer. It is better not to read the yellow "For Dummies", but you can read almost any other thin ones. Then it will no longer be scary at the sight of a "thick" book.
Personally, I consider thin books less than 500 pages, that's what I've lived up to.)))
