so i'd like to look more into this coding
i know a little of html but i don't really know a lot
and after that what else would i use ?

so can anyone tell me how they learned
teach me your ways obi wan.

This may sound biased, but it's not.

While learning, the key element in programming is to practice it, programming is like art,
you can't master art by reading books, but to practice it.
Also if you practice it you will memorize the keywords and syntax very easily
much better then trying to memorize it by reading it over and over.
Always try new things, always read and practice.
The final thing you should know is to just have fun and always be curious, that is true learning unlike anything
you will see in school.

as for how to start,
your best language would be C, It is a simple language but extremely powerful. >
once you learn it, you will be very familiar with the other languages, making it much easier to understand others.

You will need 2 things to write code in C, a compiler and an editor.
However you can just download an IDE which has both combined.
I'm too lazy to do that for you so you just google it.

as for a "guide" that you seek, online guides are decent but for flawless learning you should
read "The C Programming Language" by Dennis Ritchie, it is the best book as of now on C, written by the guy who created it [RIP].

I dunno, C is pretty dificult but python is a nice simple intro to programming. Then move on to http then java is then c, and so on and so forth. Its really up to you but python is a pretty easy way to teach the idealogy of coding and how it works. Personally I started with DOS then html then python and next java and things are pretty smooth sailing for me so yeah.

I'd say you should go with python, or Java, depending on how fast of a learner you are, and what you (might) want to do with coding.

To learn python the best place (in my opinion) to go to is CodeCademy, it gives you a very smooth drop into the world of coding, and doesn't require any previous experience.

Java is a bit more tricky, but I found one of the best ways to be getting minecraft, or if you don't want to buy, then the SP version, and try to make a mod for minecraft. Well, that's how I got into coding in general (not just Java). You could also get a book, such as the "Java For Dummies", which is exactly what I have in my bag right now, the book is quite simple, and explains things on a level that can be understood by someone with no previous programming experience.

My only problem with codeacademy is that they change terms sometimes so it works with their site compiler which is really useful. If you go to a public library, usually there are shit loads of books on coding.

Online compilers are faggotry, one must stop wasting their precious time by getting an offline compiler.

Yeah, depending on the size of the library. I personally am working through the selection at my school library right now. (Although after I move I'll work from a public library) Also the thing about library books is that it partially forces you to work through them faster than you might otherwise (which in my case is good)
