Tips for learning programming languages:
  1. Know what is the reason that you are using that language instead of a language you already know.
  2. Keep in mind that all languages have basic common features  like conditional branching, looping etc.
  3. Feel like "communicating" with the computer using that language... I mean feel like commanding (or requesting) the computer to do what you want in that language.
  4. Have clarity of thought before using certain feature of that language.  I mean if you type a statement, know clearly what it does, otherwise DEBUGGING becomes a big irritation sometimes.
  5. Never think DEBUGGING as waste of time.  Try to learn new things when debugging.
  6. When initially exploring.... don't think typing in simple programs as waste of time.  Have interest in spending those few minutes that will lay a very strong foundation for saving lot of time in future.
  7. Try to follow a particular coding style when coding any program.  I mean stick to your coding style and then you won't have any problem that wastes your time unnecessarily.
