an introduction to programing

[Kenshinsama]

whats crackin guys? well Ive been looking all over the net for some advice on programming but I honestly dont know what to look for. I decided to make a post and see if there are any programmers on the .. I dont have much experience but I like to learn new things and Im pretty anal about figuring stuff out. Im interested in doing a few projects and just getting my hands dirty really. any help is much appreciated!

 

stuff Im looking for

reccomended reading for study

 

any info lol

I have only dabbled in Javascript, Basic, Visual Basic, Ruby and a little PHP. It is ultimately up to what you want to achieve. What is it that you want to do with programming in general?

[Weirdy]

I recommend C then C++

 

from there, everything else (besides ASM) is pretty easy

hmm well in all honesty I want to try and create a program that keeps users together in the gaming world...if that makes any sense...make it to where theres a database for the users that need it.

 

 

I have a few other things I wanna mess with like a fighting game that was made specificly for the internet and let you customize your own characters.

 

lol I know I dont even know the basics and Want to make all of this crap:P but everyones got a crazy prject they wanna try right? lol.

 

when I get back to the pad Im going to download C and C++ thanks for the help guys!

How about someting different like PLC? I"ve played a little with Omron and Allen Bradley.

Java seems to be the easiest/most common introductory programing language for people these days...

 

I learned C, but that was because all the engineering libraries i have to use are written for C...and no one wants change them to another language...

I know Z80 asm/machine codes, and C.

 

Plus a few others that are no longer in general use.

 

Good luck with your project.

yep, something like that (with a gui) would require the use of, say, windows API libraries (which are in C) and, if you plan on communicating through audio, directx API (C++). But you don't even know the languages yet.

You'll need a compiler and a decent text editor too. I would suggest gcc for compiling and notepad2 for editing.
