Where to start?

Nov 11, 2014 at 10:03pm
I want to get into coding, i can write a basic hello world program, and i know how to change the color of the program and text. Where should i start? and how can i learn more about coding? I'm 15 if that matters.

Programming is all about learning how to do things. (You very rarely know how to do what you want when you start.)

Pick a program you'd like to write and start doing it. Here's a bunch of ideas from Bazzy:

hmm...you could always try learning from the tutorials section(http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/) first and more stuffs in the reference section(http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/) afterwards. AND btw, age doesnt matter in programming, unless in companies. Good luck learning c++. :)

First off, here is my personal opinion. Do NOT try to learn C++ off of websites and online tutorials. They are generally very poor quality in terms of teaching beginners. Get the book "Jumping into C++" by Alex Allain. It explains everything very clearly and is honestly the best-written beginning C++ book I have ever read. I have gone from zero programming experience to writing fairly complex programs in a few months. Of course I still have a long ways to go but I have been progressing rapidly. Highly recommended.

watch Bucky at https://buckysroom.org/videos.php He's really good and I learned all I know from him and the people of the forums I also recommend trying to help out in the beginners section to see if you can learn any more from observing the help from other people.

I think the best way to learn is to think of something you want to make, and figuring out how to make it
