Coding

[WickedWeekend]

Hello, this probably sounds really vague(and I'm sorry if it does), but I want to start coding. Does anyone have links to really good tutorials on low-level languages?

Well, if you want to learn how to code, learning HTML is the first thing you should learn, its the easiest and once you get that, you can get anything.

http://w3schools.com/html/default.asp

Thats a great site that helps you w/ basic HTML stuff, and on the left hand side you have all those options based on what you want to learn. You can even get a certificate online (for a price) once you think you're reading. You can prob find other tuts online too, like Youtube.

Hope that helped :)

like stone said, use w3schools, one of the AP Java teachers uses it to show his class(not in the class but have a friend that is). youtube could work if you need small things, but other than that, learn the basic and then from there on, just mess around with it on programming software. start with HTML, then move onto C, Java, or Python. hopefully this helps.
just out of curiosity, why do you want to learn programming?

I figured it would be fun. Also, another skill wouldn't hurt to have.

And thanks for the input, guys.

You could also try Code Academy (http://www.codecademy.com/), though it's probably best if you try something easier -- like HTML -- first....

I cannot thank w3schools enough. From them I have learn't HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and mySQL. They are amazing! I'm also planning on learning Flash, C++

As several people said start with a simple language. I would recommend HTML or Python (2.7 or 3). As for good tutorials, if you do chose Python, try 'Learn python the hard way'.

I don't think that's true. HTML is a start, but learning it doesn't mean learning more languages will be easier. HTML isn't even a programming language.

Honestly, don't use HTML to start, Java is the first step in my eyes. Java has all the basic method etc, so once you move onto C++ etc it will be so much easier. Take it from me, I have finished Java, and started on C++.

Oh, and USE code academy. search it in google. Free online service that takes you through all the way, some friends said they used it and I used a few lessons. But I was lucky enough to have a tutor.

You could learn the basics of HTML, or you could try learning VB.net, I started with VB.net, moved to C# then to C++

I would like to point out something here, a low level language is machine code or assembly language, and if you actually, really mean a low level language, go ahead and try out a Little Man Computer Simulator (http://www.atkinson.yorku.ca/~sychen/research/LMC/LMCHome.html). Or you could go ahead and have a look at machine code, but it's just binary and won't make any sense to us.
In our modern time of course, we use third generation, high lever languages. These are languages like Delphi, Pascal, C++ and Visual Basic.

So if you want to try a high level language, I'd get started with Pascal. It was what we were taught in GCSE computing, and the major advantage over Pascal compared to the others is that although it may be older, it is remarkably similar to pseudo code, meaning that translating pseudo code will literally, be a doddle. Lazarus (http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/) is a free pascal compiler, go ahead and give it a download and have a look at some tutorials.

try codecademy, I'm currently using it myself and it has a variety of simple languages, Try Java or html first

Don't be a Quiche Eater. Real programmers don't use Pascal. (http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/real.programmers.html)

Oh, I must have missed that part where the OP said he was a real programmer.

I think you didn't get my humour.

[ECSTASY]

depends...
if you wanna learn web coding , try to start from HTML :)
otherwise start from C++ ;)
w3schools is the best website to learn coding ;)
