Okay so I really want to learn how to code. Which is the best language for beginners? I know coding in general is a complicated subject but there has to be different levels of difficulty.

There are, but coding is a little different to most practices.
I would actually reccomend starting with a harder, less forgiving language, than an easy one. That way when you get better and change between languages frequently, you'll be really good at the concepts because the hard one you started with didn't allow for mistakes. Do you want to make applications or games? |

I would like to make games. EDIT: What language(difficult) would you recommend? _________________ Trying my best to better myself as a programmer! Please visit my programming blog, any and all tips are welcome!: https://conceptsexplained.wordpress.com |

C++ is a good place to start, if you want an assignment I have something for you that I just started in my computer science class.

Well to understand C++ and its capabilities we are starting with a really nooby program called "Alice". All you really have to dp is set up a simple process cycle and execute it.
1. Identify your goal (make an animation using the program or w/e) 2. Identify what the finished product will look like 3. Design an algorithm (A recipe - if you will) 4. Follow the algorithm to get to your goal In the end you should have a step by step process on how you created your goal or got to it - so to speak -, quite simple and is a very good for an introductory to C++. It's really nooby and quite easy but organizing your work is really needed for working with code. and YES I am very new to coding so don't be shy on correcting my terms. _________________ |

Just get Alice and screw around with it for a bit, get used to the terms and such. Ya that was a hell of a mess and is purely from memory, just ignore what I said there.

It also helps if you have something to do with the programming language too. Start up a small widget project or something.
