Re: where do i start
if you have never programmed before mate i would go for either Visual Basic .Net or C# .Net, you can download the Express editions for free from Microsoft
get yourself some ebooks and get reading
You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.
Re: where do i start
thanks. when learning how to do things. what program would i need to input the code. is there one program for mostr languages or are there seperate programs for each language
Re: where do i start
there are seperate programs for each language
if your starting with C# for example (my language of choice at the moment)
download from http://www.microsoft.com/express/downloads/
for a starting tutorial try http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadf...torial1an.aspx

Re: where do i start
What do you want to write mate, apps, games?
It doesn't sound like you have much experience of coding, but depending what you are aiming to produce (apps/games) would depend on the best recommendation.
Re: where do i start
I am in the same boat really, left uni over year and a half ago, and trying to get back into programming, but really not sure what skills companies are hoping for now. I was taught VB.Net at a low level, which I know is not used alot within companies at the moment. For me video tutorials worked great, much better then books.
Re: where do i start
Check out the VTM's over at www.3dbuzz.com, I bought the C++ ones when I was at uni for about £120, helped me loads.Originally Posted by KevinJB88
Re: where do i start
Used them before, very good. Can vouch for. I just need to think whats the sensible career choice, games programmer or some other type of programming. As with programming, certain areas require certain types of languages.
p.s, sorry for the hijack lol
Re: where do i start
if your looking at game development then i suggest you look at Unity, check out http://unity3d.com/ its a free game development tool, you can create games using basically a modified java script coding language, just started looking into it myself but seems pretty powerful, not sure if it supports different platforms but definately worth a look

Re: where do i start
Unreal 3 Engine is also freely available for non-commercial use with all the tools you need to make high quality games.
Re: where do i start
there is nothing particular i am aiming to do at the moment. just want to know if i can learn it to be able to code. if i can then hopefully use it for a new employment change somewhere in the future. i have a friend who programs for his own business using java. he said if im serious enough then i could spend some time with him to help with my learning. im not really much good with computers hence why im a bit apprehensive but am willing to put ererything into learning
Re: where do i start
ok, so i have a book. ANSI C programming by Lawlor. anyone read it. my programming friend lent it me yesterday. looks quite interesting. an older book but he used it when in uni and said it was a good start. apparantly its easier to learn C before other languages. what do you all think
