Learn to code.

Hello, i'd just like to tell you guys about a free service i've found, that could definitely help you out in the future.

http://www.codecademy.com/

Take a look around at the offered languages, find one your interested in. They're great skills to know. I suggest you do the lessons in one your interested, read a book on it, and try to apply it to real life. Maybe take a course offered in your highschool / college.

Offered languages on CA:

→JavaScript
→ HTML/CSS
→ PHP
→ Python
→ Ruby
→ APIs

I recommend learning Python or HTML to start, they are great for beginners.

Thanks very much. I promised myself that within the next 2 years I'd learn how to do this crap. I'll probably start with HTML. What do you think?

HTML is great to start with, if you really want to get into it, I suggest setting a certain time period out of each day studying it, or else you can procrastinate and not get anything done. Studying it everyday is great, whether it be making your own websites or just learning new stuff with it. Too many people try to get into programming but end up stopping because of lack of motivation or they just have no time. That's why it's a great summer thing. Plus, it's great to know if your looking to get a decent paying job involving programming.

Yeah, I really wanted to learn C. Looks like I have to look elsewhere

It doesn't have Java

Here's a good start.

Google for drexel's cs172 for the continuation course.
