Help me Code? For love. =]

Just read a book OP.. That's how most of us started learning.

You can add me on skype and I'll go over some general stuff, but I will not teach you a specific language..that's what books are for. My username on Skype is same as here on mpgh.

Added. What Books can u recommend the most easiest EBooks that are free?

Didn't get a Reply... Looking for someone who can Skype with me and help me Understand/Learn from their own experience or per an E book

Hmm I have skype on my phone...I'm usually signed in..I don't see your friend request...either a glitch in Skype or you added the wrong person.

I can't recommend a book until you've picked a language to learn...and lua is not a language I'm familiar with...I recommend c#.net or c++...we can discuss that later I suppose.

I live in ..not sure the time zone, Alaska so you're a few hours ahead of me...I'm not on a PC until like 10pm your time (I have a 9-5 job...not just sitting at home waiting for you lol)

Get used to waiting on me...or get a book. You can probably find some at your local library..for FREE

Andrew B?.................

Just tell me ur skype user

That wasn't a statement or a question...looks like a command to me. You are giving me a command. ...not ok. Some people need to learn how to speak to other people.

And yes that's me...I'm currently online and have been all day.

edit: I'm home now and on the PC version of Skype..I definitely don't see a friend request - but you got my name from Skype, so you must have found the right person.... only other thing I can think is that I've added you in the past and at some point blocked/erased you. (?)
It's 6:35pm here...if it's past your bedtime, then I guess this won't work..sorry, can't help the time difference.

Lmao you're too nice abuck, should have just told OP to pick up a book and left it at that.

Not much of a Time cap
EDIT: I've added u countless times... My Skype user is gabelikespooding

How old are you ?

@OP Apparently I've added you in the past and decided to block you...I can't clearly remember, but I'm sure I had my reasons for blocking you... It's not something I'm interested in repeating -- I take back my offer to help you; I am unable, sorry. gl.

Why do you ask?

Can someone help me?

Ya man I can help you. Get C++ Primer (There's a download for it in the sticky, or google)
Read it
Understand it****
If you have questions ask, or google. There are no answers to the exercises for this book but it's the #1 recommended one I've found. And at 1k+ pages it goes very in-depth on things it's teaching.

From what I've discovered you really, REALLY, need a good understand of the basics of the language before you can even do anything. For anything. I'm almost 7 chapters in (I type everything I read, re-read it if I don't understand it, if it still doesn't make sense I'll come back to it when I'm revising my notes. By revising I mean going over every sub-section, making sure I understand it, copy out the really important stuff into another file of a complete list of notes I've taken. Usually by the time I've finished the chapter I can understand the stuff I didn't understand before.) I probably can't do much but I'm getting a lot closer.

Ex. This topic - http://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread.php?t=858021
I made code to do this (well mine's a diamond, I didn't wanna stop at the middle) - http://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread...=201964&page=4 (last post)

I really liked that idea, creating a patter using a character. So I made it, using for loops, that's early on stuff (chapter 1, but goes into much greater detail in chapter 5) but I'm passing on the character and # into another function, also needed to know string operation (isprint(character) s(x, character) chapter 3) and arithmetic operators (% I didn't even know what modulo was until chapter 4) operation in order to accomplish that.
