Determine which basic type of software development interests you. Applications Development is focused on creating programs that meet the users' needs. These can range from mobile phone apps, to high-production video games, to enterprise-level accounting software.
Systems Development is focused on creating and maintaining operating systems using life-cycle development. Systems Development often involves network operability and data security. Teach yourself a programming language. Anyone can come up with ideas, but a developer will be able to turn those ideas into something tangible. Even if you only want to work on the design aspects of software, you should have some familiarity with coding and be able to create basic prototypes.
There are a huge variety of programming languages that you can teach yourself. Some of the more useful and important ones include: C - C is one of the older languages still in use, and is the basis for most of the other languages on this list.
C is used to develop low-level programs, and works very closely with the computer's hardware. It is also a very popular language for creating video games. Almost any system can run a Java Virtual Machine, allowing it to run Java software. It is widely used in video games and business software, and many people recommend it as an essential language. C - C is a Windows-based language that is part of the.
NET framework from Microsoft. This language is especially useful for developers working with Windows or Windows Phone software. Objective-C - This is another cousin of the C language that is specifically designed for Apple systems.

Beyond books, the internet is an endless treasure-trove of guides and tutorials.
Search for guides on the language of your choice on sites such as CodeAcademy, Code. Take some classes. While you don't need a full-on degree in order to get into software development, it can't hurt to take a few classes at your local community college or learning center.

Classes cost money, so make sure that you are signing up for classes that will help you learn what you want to know.

Before you start trying to apply your new programming skills to real-world jobs, work on some projects for yourself. Challenge yourself to solve problems using your programming language.
Not only will this help develop your skills, it will also help build your resume. For example, instead of using your computer's calendar program to stay organized, try designing your own!
If you're interested in video game development , work on simple games that don't focus on graphics or complex mechanics. Instead, focus on making them fun and unique. A collection of small games that you created yourself will look great in your portfolio. Ask questions. The internet is a fantastic way to connect with other developers.
If you find yourself stumped on one of your projects, ask for help on sites such as StackOverflow. Make sure that you ask in an intelligent manner and can prove that you have already tried several possible solutions.
Practice every day. Work on your pet projects every day, even if only for an hour. This will help you stay fresh and constantly learn new techniques.

Part 2. A good program will perform a task that makes life easier for the user. Look at the software that is currently available for the task you want to perform, and see if there are ways that the process could be easier or smoother.
A successful program is one that users will find a lot of utility in. Examine your daily tasks on your computer. Is there some way that you could automate a portion of those tasks with a program? Write down every idea. Even if it seems silly or outlandish at the time, it could change into something useful or even brilliant. Examine other programs. What do they do?
How could they do it better? What are they missing? Answering these questions can help you come up with ideas for your own take on it. This document will outline the features and what you intend to achieve with the project. Referring to the design document during the development process will help keep your project on track and focused. See this guide for details on writing the document. This is a basic program that shows off the functionality that you're aiming to achieve.
A prototype is a quick program, and should be iterated on until you find a design that works. For example, if you are creating a calendar program, your prototype would be a basic calendar with correct dates!
Your prototype will change often during the development cycle as you come up with new ways to tackle problems or think of an idea later that you want to incorporate.
