**** my Toaster !~!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've always wanted to learn how to program, I've just never gotten around to attempting to learn.

Yeah, thats what I'm currently enrolled in college for, but haven't gotten to it yet, and have not attempted to learn anything on my own.

So how did you learn? Books? Internet? Just messing around?

Any tips or suggestions?

I feel like a bum, I'll be 21 this year and I know minimal if not nothing about programming..

Books and user applications. For me I started to really get into with RFID, then I decided to goto school to get more into the web side of it, like ASP, ASP.net, php etc

Once you know how things work in one language they carry over to the next, only thing that changes is the syntex, which im sure you've noticed

best is to just mess around and try out everything you see on the internet.. you can just start with like copy pasting into C++ and try to edit stuff.. that way you will learn different codes and at the end u can make them urself =P (also doing it this way)

For C++ you could better just daily spam yourself with C++ spoonfeed.
