I'm going to learn programming, going to start with C++. anything I should know before I start?

yeah, thats what I thought too, I'm just working on the fundamentals right now.

> It doesn't matter what language you learn.
My experience is the opposite, people get fucked by memory management and how close to the metal C++ is
> Once you learn one object orientated programming language (c++, java, Python)
C++ is general purpose, you can technically live without object oriented programming with it (but at that point just use C)
Java is forced OOP + GC
I wouldn't say they're the same at all
Though if he manages to learn C++, most languages will be a piece of cake after that

teachyourselfcs.com/ if you want more resources too, fren. An interest is the first step to greatness

this. I can't stress this enough from experience you'll get unfocused and not finish. That's why it is needed properly for the socks otherwise you are a doomed person to begin with

I have to learn a two months worth of course in 3 days FUCK

C (as in the language)

>C++ on the other hand, is a massive amount of bullshit to even start being productive. Use only for games.
>My experience is the opposite, people get fucked by memory management and how close to the metal C++ is
Whatever you do, don't listen to this user, what he said is so fucking retarded.

why is it retarded? orignally

Learn Javascript or Python depending on what you want to specialize in, those are the two languages in the most demand with the most job opportunities.

Don't bother, C++ is just Java but with more steps, which makes it good for very granular memory management, but you won't need that outside video games.
