I want to learn to code.

[juan090]

Hi guys, like the name says i want to learn how to code.. i need help to know were to start i have plenty of time since i am in summer hollidays

YouTube is the best place you will learn programming.
The tools you will mostly need are
-Java Sdk.
-C++ (2 Diffrent versions)
and a few other programs im not sure of.

Start off on VB and move on to C then C++ then ASM then do your hacks! Well.. that's how I started tho.

Stop telling everyone what they should start with.
They will start with what they feel comfortable with, besides, starting with VB, then moving to C or C++ isn't a smart move honestly.

What i would advice you to start with, would be C.
Anyway, if you are planing only on hacking you wont go far in programming, half of your code will be leeched.

And honestly, if that guy only wants to hack (he will fail if this is the reason), I don't see why would he learn either Java or VB.

Pro tip: Program if you like to do it, if you want to know how your computer actually works, and have fun with it. If not, don't bother, just download already made hacks and have fun playing. People in here always want to program for the wrong reasons.. Come on.. Grow up, this is not about epenis size.

Well, VB has the most basics foundation of programming. So when I learnt C, it was much understandable for me. It's up to him anyways.

I honestly dont see how, because both the Syntax and Logic are different (Not object oriented)

If your learning to make a program use C++
if your learning to make cheats learn VB
If your going to make games try using C++, VB and textpad with java ^_^

Actually to make applications I would advice VB or C#.
To actually make cheats, I would go with C. (C++)
And to make games, Any language where you have libraries for it.. Such as DirectX SDK, XNA SDK, w/e

I sorta agree with Akimo because Without a good foundation, aka VB, it will be hard to understand how coding actually works. But that's just my opinion.

No it wont be hard. Just a different Syntax (C Syntax).

It Kinda Depends What You Want To Make/Learn.
I Would Recomend Starting With VB( Thats What i Did ).
And Now Im Starting To Learn C++.
But You Must know That It Will Take Way Longer Than The Holidays To Learn To Code.
Good Luck, Have Fun.

I started with VB with a book from 1995, and then I realized I don't want to learn VB yet xD, So I just went with C++ to start with :3.

Visual Basic is alright, but the syntax is so different from other languages that learning Visual Basic first might hinder your ability to learn something else afterward. It's good for rapid application development and scripting for ASP.NET, but other languages beat it in most other areas. Learning C/C++ first will teach you better programming habits and get you closer to low-level details than VB, as well as give you more power and control over what you're doing. C# and/or Java(I'd say go with C# if you go this route) will really force you to learn object-oriented programming concepts, as everything in these languages is represented as an object. Assembly is the fastest, smallest, and most efficient; But a total beginner might not get the hang of it. I honestly recommend you learn C++ or C first, then maybe C#. Come on, look at all the languages that borrow 90% of their syntax from C. There's a reason for this: C was the best 30 years ago, and it's still one of the best today. Best languages to know/learn(imo): 1. C/C++ 2. Assembly 3. C#

Note: This is just my opinion, so don't flip out if you don't agree. Put away your e peen and state your ideas like sensible human beings.

Honestly learning C++ first is like milking a cow and u dont know what a cow is. Just start off looking for videos and watch them over and over till you understand what there saying.

try starting with batch programming
