I've recently become set in stone with the fact that I want to become a computer programmer and more specifically probably a video game designer. I was going to become a video game tester which is a great way to get into the business...
But... I live in Detroit... And there are absolutely no jobs here... In that field at least
So I figured I should probably start learning some programming languages before I head of to college and get my degree in programming and desing... (I'm 16 btw)
Which language should I start with?
How should I go about it?
What programs do I need?
Can you point me in the direction of a book and or site that can help me learn?
Your better off mostly ignoring videos if you serious about learning all there is to know about the language and programming. Videos only provide a brief intro to the language.
I'm learning C++ right now (this is first program I am learning) and I agree, videos really don't help at all for me, I like to have the text so I can look at it for a long time without pressing a pause button and there's no time limit for how long text can be so it's usualy alot more deatailed.
