Posted December 8, 2014 Stop centering stuff for the love of god; if it was meant to be like that normally, then it would. Start with something like Java, then work into C# and C++.

Posted December 8, 2014 Don't want to disappoint you but what you saw in that series is nothing like real programming. Try to learn c or java first (I recommend c) and than go to c++ and later try c#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2014 Just going to say that only a very small amount of people who aim to work at Microsoft actually do. Not to put a dampener on your dream but its good to be realistic. Also as a programmer you are going to run on caffeine Intel I9-9900k (5Ghz) | Asus ROG Maximus XI Formula | Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4-4133mhz | ASUS ROG Strix 2080Ti | EVGA Supernova G2 1050w 80+Gold | Samsung 950 Pro M.2 (512GB) + (1TB) | Full EK custom water loop |IN-WIN S-Frame (No. 263/500) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2014 I would start slow. I have started with CodeCademy and finished every course so i understand the Syntax and stuff and then expand my knowledge of other languages. First try some HTML and CSS, if you mastered that try some Javascript and read online about coding stuff. CodeGasm throws you right in to it and doesn't teach you a lot, it is meant to spark interest in coding (it obliviously worked on you ) Linda.com also has some really great stuff but it costs money. Also there are some great books to learn you how to code if you're more experienced. Remember, learning how to code/program takes a long time. The best way to learn is trial and error. Make a CLI program for something silly and if you use other peoples code, DON'T copy it! Write line by line, even it you take someone else their code. Best of luck!

Posted December 8, 2014 im 12 lol, i shouldn't be giving u my age Oh sorry I guess? It's a perfect age to start, at least a 3 year head start on everyone else! I would take something like Computer Science at GCSE level during high-school if your school offers it. I would then look into apprenticeships in software and web development after high-school.

Posted December 8, 2014 You know a bit of C# already so now try to code a small project. Doesn't really matter what it is. If you get stuck, just ask for help. You'll learn a lot from coding your own projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
