What to learn first - Software Development

[jam1234]

Hey,

 

I am interested in learning how to develop software and possibly games.

 

I am wondering which you guys think is the best route to go down when it comes to this? I know HTML, CSS and JavaScript this is probably useless but I though why not include it.

Another thing that would be useful is tutorials that are could for learning this kind of stuff.

 

Any other suggestions are much appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance,

James

I started learning Python a few weeks back and it is really simple and gets you into good habits which you can use later on. I've been watching this guy's series on YouTube and it is amazingly simple and clear, so give it a try.

I recommend this as a starting point with Python: http://interactivepython.org/runestone/static/thinkcspy/toc.html#t-o-c

 

Sites like Code Academy are popular, but from what I've seen the quality of the material is variable at best, and that's putting it nicely.

That'll depend on what kind of software you want to write.

A thing that i think would be a good first project is a text editor or something similar. What language would this require?
