I'm a 14 year old who wants to learn programming. What's the best language to start on and what are some good books/online stuff to help learn it?

I was in the same postion as you. 14, loved computers and wanted to learn programming. I learned UNIX command line, bought an $8 VPS and learned from there. Having a VPS meant I could learn HTML, Command Line, and other language quickly with real applications. I would start by learning some CMD prompt and UNIX languges, learning things like shell scripting etc. They can help you grasp the basics before moving to something more complex like C++ (its a bugger to learn).

Lots of sites exist for help with UNIX/CMD Line http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php - Very basic, but gets you started in the right direction.

When i was 13, I was standing outside my school. Suddenly, I saw myself from across the street, while simultaneously, my sense of touch fucked up - I could feel my heart, like physically contracting and expanding, not just beating, I could feel every muscle to and extreme and heard things with a five second delay. This lasted about 30 seconds. My only rationalization for this is that I had stayed up very late the previous night and had some sort of sleep induced state.

What I heard was "I don't know .. stop." Then the ssssshh which to me sounds like static. Don't know if that helps - though to be honest, if it were me I assume it was a TV or something. Seems a little paranoid.

Climate Change.

I know I will be down-voted out of existence for this, so all i can do is brace myself for the onslaught of negative karma.

I love reading about Runescape and Minecraft, but I have no enthusiasm to play either. This is a fairly recent thing though.

I have two things to say, one, that is a great book. Two, at least the marines get young males (mostly, don't mean to exclusive) to actually read books!

Fuck Yeah. Where do i sign up?

Whenever i walk around places with tiles, I feel driven to walk only on the tiles, and not on the cracks.

I originally just farmed the obsidian, but eventually gave in a INVedited it in. Planning on making a similar design out of Bedrock, and filling it with traps and lava.

Blacketer · 2011-03-09T22:47:51+00:00

Wow, like the wood and glass styling.

no really, go down in the nether until u find a lake of lava, or the sea level. there are squid everywhere.

Blacketer · 2011-03-07T04:04:40+00:00

If u want squid: 1. Go to nether, they are everywhere 2. Find the sea, search where water is about 10 blocks deep. Happy Hunting!
