Learning to code
I want to learn to code but don't know where to start, i was thinking about starting with c++ or is that a bad idea? Can anyone point me in the direction of some guides for complete noobs.

RE: Learning to code
C++ is generally learnt after C.

Umm, I guess you can try C first if you want to - if you find it too difficult, start with some scripting language or try BASIC.

For guides - just Google - there's plenty 'o them :P

RE: Learning to code
I started with visual basic. If you plan to make nice and pretty simple pc stuff do that, however, if you plan to program for linux or psp try C, and if you plan to make websites you can chose either visual basic and then learn ASP which is like it, or learn PHP

RE: Learning to code
http://www.psp-programming.com/forums/in...ments;id=1 «- For C/C++ or PSP

As to which, it all depends on what you want to do. As an overall beginners language, I'd probably say VB or C++
is your best shot. I find C++ easier than C or VB, personally, and it's pretty useful. It doesn't really encorporate
GUI programming or networking though, so you'll have to explore that on your own.

RE: Learning to code
Hmm, I still can't force myself to use Visual C++...  _VEndeTta, what do people use for those cross-platform GUIs?  Other than things like Java.  Python?
