Phoenix Network Forums

good to see i can find a place full of people that know what they are talking about, and i can get a free shell account, which is hard to find these days.

Well my name is John, im not like a lot of these people. I dont have that nice colorful background, but i am 15, have no life right now, and i dont have any interesting job with computers.
I know a decent amout of information about computers but im no programmer.I am trying to learn C++ right now on my own, but that is difficult.

anyways, im the new kid on the block for a bit and cant wait to have fun and play around with some of these tools.

Well I commend you for not going directly to VB (Visual Basic). Not that it's a bad language (okay well it is very weak), but it almost serves you no purpose later in life. C/C++ on the otherhand is the cornerstone of modern day computing so there isn't any language you can use that hasn't at least been touched by the glowing hand of C. Thankfully there are lots of amazing links and tutorials on the internet for learning C and C-based languages. The first site I ever really got a lot out of is http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/notes/sx1a.html. Hope that provides you with some information you didn't already know and feel free to ask more in the programming forum if you have any questions.

I think assembler is cool;];]

assembly would be a kinda hard to program in.
but i would suggest java since is object oriented programming
