Satisfying things to create?

[TechBlitZ]

Does anyone know of any satisfying tutorials on programming? I've made my own website - http://www.springbankkennels.co.uk/ - But that's about it, mainly because it seems a little boring making things that are just text based. I'm happy to learn, but can't find anything fun I could create or w.e :-/

I'm a visual kind of guy, studying Tv and film, so I really enjoy things beings very visual based.

Any ideas?

You seem to be pretty interested in web development.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to learn HTML5/CSS3. From what I've seen, some nice things can be achieved with those in terms of visuals: http://www.creativebloq.com/web-design-tips/examples-of-html5-1233547.

Javascript might also be interesting, it's a very powerful language.

You could also expand this knowledge by learning how to work with a database to put behind your websites. But that's more technical stuff, not really visual.

Maybe mobile app development is something for you?

There is some official documentation/tutorials for Android development for example: http://developer.android.com/training/index.html

Hope this helps :)

The New Boston has some of the best tutorials for programming, web development and surviving in the wilderness :D

He has tutorials for a LOT of languages all of which are of excellent quality.

You might want to look into Visual Basic. It has text code entry but a very nice "visual" way to design the layout of your programs.

If you need something just to mess around with, have a play around with producing fractals :)

I would also like to recommend New Boston. Great tutorials and guides there on a great number of languages and likes in tech.

Rainmeter skins are very satisfying to make. They can be made in less than an hour all up for something really basic like a custom button. I made one that launched ARMA2 for me. I was so excited when I pushed it and ARMA2 started loading. Like a boss. :D

When I started to learn PHP I decided to create something that would be interesting for me. In my case I enjoy to golf so I created a personal web app to track my handicap and previous rounds. By doing this I wasn't specifically using a tutorial to create it but I was applying what I had learned by following basic tutorials such as validation with HTML5/PHP and doing basic math with PHP.
