If you like learning from video courses, here are two links for you to check out.
MVA: C# Fundamentals for Absolute Beginners - Free, one course Pluralsight - Monthly cost, many courses on C#, Unity and other programming related things (languages, frameworks, tools, techniques, etc) for beginners to advanced developers You can get multiple months for free by joining the free Visual Studio Dev Essentials program (you may have already done so for VS 2015 Community)  
OOP (Object Oriented Programming)
DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Why C++ or C#? There's certainly nothing wrong with either language, I'm just curious how you narrowed all the languages down to those two.

Personally, I would want descriptions of the meal to go along with the image.

You could use an online IDE like Cloud9

I managed to finish it all! Did a 90 minute workshop with a tutor to get me used to the program, and yes that was the issue haha the button was set to disabled by default.
Thank you anyway!

PyCharm is a great Python IDE

Hey all,
 
A few months ago I was very active in this section asking about python code scraping with the Kiva api and a ton of other things.
 
I finally got around to publishing the paper I wrote for the class. Published on linkedin, but published none the less!
 
You can read it here if you are interested.

Thank you all who helped guide me.

Hey,
 
Came across The Joy of Coding Humble Bundle today on Reddit and figured I'd share in case anyone was interested. I'm not familiar with all of the books but I know a few come highly recommended. Feel free to browse the Reddit thread for opinions, look up reviews, discuss here, etc.
 
Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with them in any way. I'm not sure if this violates the community standards or not. If it does, I apologize. I searched the forum and found a few posts that mentioned other humble bundles and they weren't closed down.
 
Here's the list of books
Note that some of these books are already free online in case you'd rather go with that option. Here are the links of those I know about (I'll update if there's any I missed).

Start by making a list of requirements. List and describe all the functionality that this project needs so that you know what needs to be done and how it's all supposed to work.

That's generally the intention behind homework... you have to do it. Yourself.
No. At least make the effort yourself. Your laziness is not our problem.

Yeah, there are a few out there.

I'm not very familiar with WordPress and PHP so I probably wouldn't be of much help. Hopefully some of the PHP people see this (might want to edit your title to include the CSS & PHP part).

What are you trying to do? It sounds to me like you want to make a desktop app with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If that is the case, check out Electron.

Chances are if you're going to university you'll be doing something like Computer Science/Engineering. Check out the Open Source Society University to see what kind of courses you can do in a degree. At University, you'll learn how to program, and you'll learn some pretty useful/interesting stuff, but you won't really learn how to build software. Some universities may have some courses focused on building software and other industry skills, but it probably won't be the focus. Getting industry experience with internships can help fill in some of the gaps, and you can learn a lot on your own time.
 
Python is perfectly fine to start with. It's probably one of the most common languages beginners start with so don't worry about it. You'll eventually learn more than one language anyway.
 
When starting out, regardless of the language, pretty much everyone starts off with command line applications. They might not seem super exciting, but they are useful and a great place to start learning. It keeps the applications simple so you can focus on learning the language syntax and basic programming principles. Check out the book Automate the Boring Stuff (it's online for free).
 
After that, decide what type of application you want to build. The type of application, desktop/web/mobile, will determine what new things you need to learn. Python can do it all, but so can many other languages, so you have plenty of choice.
