Hello!

Was just wanting to see if anyone wanted to add me on something
like Facebook/curse/skype, etc. The one person I'm looking for
is Chakra.
Hopefully he will add me so we can talk about computer stuff.
Basically I wanted to know what I should start with when it
comes to computers.
Is there a special coding I should begin learning? I know Gosu
and Chakra know code, so it would be nice to get them to talk to
me.
Also hello everyone! I miss being part of the sheep tag
community, but I've moved on to League of Legends (I suck at
that game too, but it's my definition of fun!)

Hi Tollison,
If you're interested in coding, it doesn't really matter which
language you start with. As long as it's one of the mainstream
languages, you should be fine. When starting as a developer it's
important you understand coding in an abstract way. It's also
important to know your priorities. Do you want to develop mostly
frontend based websites and design them, or do you want to be an
actual software engineer and create an entire software
application.
If you're interested in software development I would suggest
starting with either C# or Java (I prefer C#, Visual studio with
Resharper IDE is awesome). Some good books/PDFs to start with
are: Head First C# or Head First Java. These books are very easy
to learn and explain you the basics of coding.
I've been told some people start with Python, which is ok I
guess. I have zero experience with this which means I cant help
you with this subject.
Say you want to focus more on the frontend aspect of developing
and enjoy visually designing stuff, I would suggest picking up a
language like Javascript(jQuery) or PHP (even though I seriously
hate PHP).
Out of experience I think it's easier to start learning C# or
Java.
Hope that helped you out a little bit.
Regards,
Runey

Hi.
Learn by modification of something that actually interests you.
I learned progressively by making making maps in SC1/WC3,
scripting plugins for bots, modifying bots, making websites, and
doing statistics/visualizations.

I agree with Runemining and Chakra. You can start with creating
maps in warcraft III, but I guess nowadays it's alot easier to
just start coding in a language like C#. There are tons of books
out there, but also just YouTube tutorials you can follow or
Microsofts official videos :

If you need anything, you have me on skype. Feel free to ask me
something.

This is a very generic question... Are you interested in the
software side of computers or the hardware? Are you interested
in programming and if so what are you looking to make software,
web pages, apps, games? Or are you looking to learn useful
skills such as Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, InDesign,
Pro Tools, Logic, Maya, Blender, Zbrush, etc.
There's an infinite amount of tools, resources, and knowledge on
the internet. Learn whats out there, find what you like, and
pursue it endlessly. Good luck!

As a lifelong developer and nearly a Software Engineer, I highly
recommend you start with either C# for desktop applications or
HTML CSS Javascript and PHP or ASP.NET for web applications, as
these are my favorites.
There's also c++ (which is a lot more difficult but I'm using it
for Fragile
HTML http://fragilegame.com
, primarily for speed purposes), Flash
development, Java, Python, Ruby, SQL, and NodeJS. These are all
what I would consider to be some of the most popular languages.
Focus on what exactly it is that you would like to do. Are you
trying to just become more technically proficient in general
(tinker with a bunch of different stuff), do you want to develop
a particular application (learn a language that's good for it
and continue learning and developing with great patience), or do
you want to start a career in this (go to school)?
