Ok People i see alot of you that want to start programming but you all dont know were exactly you wana start so lets go over some basics

What Is Programming

Programming this the act of using diffrent languages to integrate a computer with the hardware..... Thats my diffinition to programming and i find it accurate

How To Start

Most people recommend start programming with Microsoft Visual Basics
I Dont

When you start with visual basics you get into the habit of the program doing it all for you like correcting it for you or adding (); to the end well this is why i dont recomend starting with visual bascis becuase when you start C#,Java,Or C++ its not gona correct you and one small mistake with mess up the program even if it is minor like a capital thats not spoced to be or vice versa.

Instead of starting with Visual Basics i want you to start with Visual C Sharp also called Visual C# or C

Microsoft Website Download (Only the registered members can see the link.-Visual-CS) (thats the 2010 version if you want 2008 google it)

Why

I Recomend this for all of the resons above and its a bit closer to java and C++ both of which should be your goal in the end.

Whats Next

After you learn C# also called C Sharp. I Recomend moving on to Java it is very similar to C# But i its a bit harder and will take a bit longer but is fun to learn you realy dont need to move on to java but its fun and i thinks its the best programming language by far.

After C# Or Java
C++ .... Your guessed right. C++ is a powerful but defently not a lightweight programm like Java. C++ is also not net bound like all of the above which means you have to alot of work but its not limited on what you can do which i like about it.

How To Learn
I Realy cant tell you how to start learning C++ because i myself took a class and learned alot from a freind i got so i dont exactly know what to recomend for you mabey watch come videos on youtube or read some book tutorials i think there is a thread that is stickied in the tutorials part of this section. You could probely pm c-- and ask him if he knows any good ebooks because i know he knows C++ to and he is head of the programming section.

Need Help
If you all need any help in the above pm me i know all of the folowing lanugaes very well if you need any help in them pm me and i will do my best =).



Microsoft Website Download (Only the registered members can see the link.-Visual-CS) (thats the 2010 version if you want 2008 google it)

That includes all of microsoft 2010 download vb C# and C++.

Good Java Programms

forgot to add this There is a program called NetBeans I Wont post a link but you can find it online just google it. Netbeans is lightweight and fast programm for programming java games and anything else you can thing of in java its very very nice a bit harder than visual C# but it is a very very nice programm i strongly

You can't even spell 'friend', 'maybe', or 'languages' correct, i doubt you know very much in any of these languages.

Ok People i see a lot of you that want to start programming but you all don't know were exactly you want to start so lets go over some basics.

What Is Programming?

Programming this the act of using different languages to integrate a computer with the hardware..... That's my definition to programming and i find it accurate

How To Start?

Most people recommend start programming with Microsoft Visual Basics
- I Don't

When you start with visual basics you get into the habit of the program doing it all for you, like correcting it for you or adding (); to the end. Well this is why I don't recommend starting with visual basics because when you start C#,Java,Or C++ its not going to correct you and one small mistake will mess up the program even if it is minor, like a capital that is not suppose to be or vice versa.

Instead of starting with Visual Basics i want you to start with Visual C Sharp also called Visual C# or C

Microsoft Website Download (Only the registered members can see the link.-Visual-CS) (that's the 2010 version if you want 2008 google it)

Why?

I recommend this for all of the reasons above and its a bit closer to java and C++ both of which should be your goal in the end.

Whats Next?

After you learn C# also called C Sharp. I recommend moving on to Java it is very similar to C#. Its a bit harder and will take a bit longer but is fun to learn. Really you don' need to move on to java but its fun and i thinks its the best programming language by far.

After C# Or Java
C++ .... You guessed right. C++ is a powerful but definitely not a light weight program like Java. C++ is also not net bound like all of the above which means you have to a lot of work but its not limited on what you can do, which is what like about it.

How To Learn?
I really cant tell you how to start learning C++ because I took a class and learned a lot from a friend. I don't know exactly what to recommend for you.. maybe watch come videos on youtube or read some book tutorials. I think there is a thread that is stickied in the tutorials part of this section. You could probably pm c-- and ask him if he knows any good ebooks because he knows C++ too and is head of the programming section.

Need Help?
If you all need any help in the above pm me i know all of the following languages very well if you need any help in them pm me and i will do my best =).

Forgot to add this but, there is a program called Net Beans. I won't post a link but you can find it online by just googling it. Net beans is lightweight and fast program for programming java games and anything else you can think of in java, and it's very very nice. It is a bit harder than visual C# but it is a very very nice program i strongly recommend.

Spelled checked it, and fixed some grammar issues so it makes more sense to the English viewer.

You didn't actually tell anyone anything. You basically just told them some bullshit order they should learn in, you hardly even give reasons as to why you picked that order.


You could probely pm c-- and ask him if he knows any good ebooks because i know he knows C++ to and he is head of the programming section.
Who the hell is c-- and why is the bottom of the OP cut off?

This thread is 90% crap, and frankly I refuse to allow this to be in this board. Closed.
