Best ways to get into coding / computer science?

[Profoundsoup]

What would you guys recommend for someone looking to get into the computer science field in the future? What would be a good place to start? Raspberry Pi, buy Unreal engine and watch tutorials online, or try and find some programming / design classes?

Start learning Java. There are tons of good tutorials online.

raspberry pi is always good, but just do allot of tutorials and practice allot

Before starting to wonder about more or less expensive hardware you should learn to actually program first.

Pick a language and start learning it. I think many would recommend C++ for a first language, though I am not an expert by any means. There are plenty of tutorials online, and even a great online compiler, here:

I would say one of the best introductory things I have seen was Barnacules and his CODEgasm videos.  He's got four or five up now, and it's -really- simple programming, but it's a good start if you can memorize it and learn and he's so far pretty good with his teaching

C++ is a great language but not necessarily a good one to start with. Java's compiler is much more friendly and it will still teach you the C syntax. Java is in my opinion the best first language.

code academy is a good place to start if you're completely knew to it

I have used all except code school,

I would look at codeacademy, it has a great teaching style
