How'd you learn your language.
It's been quite a while guise

How did

I learned C++ by Sams teach yourself C++ in 1 hour a day, and learned SDL with focus on SDL. I use an SRS program (Anki) to help me remember the gayass names of SDL structs and functions.

Only prob with the sams is the inconsistency of style in examples, it had 3 authors (collab effort)

Focus on sdl was confusing as hell because you have 4 pages of crap, 1 code example, then 4 more pages of crap on another subject
classes .
VB - Taught myself.
PHP - Taught myself
Java - I have a professor, but I haven't learned anything yet as syntactically it is similar to PHP.
HTML - Again I have a professor, but MOST of the stuff I've learned has been just from fucking around with writing pages on my own.

I can't remember if I know any other languages...I don't think so.
Taught myself everything ... minus lots of Googling (initially)
I know VB and Action Script. Both self taught with lots of Googling initially.
VB.NET was self taught (I lub Google). I learnt C++ from learncpp.com and soon wil be learning from C++ Primer 4th Edition.
Pretty much everything I know was me doing stuff ahead of my course, I used to go to c++ / java / python classes but it was slow as fuck. I just tend to work on examples, give myself a task / problem to solve and then learn what I need to know to solve it. That way I know what I need to know for my work
Idk. It seems like everytime I learn something, I relize I've learned just enough to understand I know nothing.
you realize sam didn't make the teach it yourself thing?

What are you talking about?
IDK MANG

I just did shit and now I'm good at it.

Honstly, I just kept reading books until I got them. I figured programming out at a pretty young age; but I didn't learn from hacking.

I started out with hacking - but that's not realy programming; then I moved to writing engines & games (The first three attempts where a fail, but you learn A LOT from failing) JevaEngine is a success

Then I read up on the window's drivers system, that got me interested in kernel. Then I learned a shit load about the kernel and tried writing my own OS(You learn a lot from that too.) - that got me in the hardware level of things. I tried writing some firmware for a couple devices - hardware engineering is so complex you really need to take a class for it; so I took a break from that.
VB - MPGH, google , Books, Internet
HTML - Making alot of websites..Worked xD
Batch took me like 5 years of youtubing to learn. It so hard :/
