Hello!

[CampArawak]

I have recently decided to dive into programming head first and this seemed like a good site to join for a few reasons:

1)Chili's videos are amazing so far and very helpful
and
2)Seems like there is a good, helpful community here.

I have almost no programming experience, but luckily I am armed with Chili's videos, a few other sites (gamefromscratch.com), and a book I bought (C++ Primer Plus, Sixth Edition by Stephen Prata)

Anyways, my reason for posting beyond introducing myself is to ask if there are any other resources you guys would suggest beyond what I have?

Thanks!

Hello!

Well I'm not sure how new you are to programming but TheNewBoston has some real nice and simple to follow programming tutorials that really helped me get into programming.

Hey welcome...!
Yes there are some great sources out there!

I use these myself:

http://www.thenewboston.org/ (A lot of programming tutorial videos on C++ and many other programming languages)
http://www.3dbuzz.com/ (Fairly inactive, but still helpful web community, you might find something on there)
http://www.cplusplus.com/ (A lot of the language explained!)

Thanks guys! Will definitely check them out. And I am extremely new, as in I have had no experience what-so-ever with any programming languages. I started about 2 days ago . However, I am on Chili's 8th Beginner tutorial, and have been able to complete the "assignments" on my own (for the most part...had trouble getting the cursor to move the entire pattern.)

Thanks again!

If you are new to the language, and want an extensive guide I found this to be very helpful.

It has a good amount of information, and gives good examples.
Whilst it may seem unrelated to gaming, you'll be doing Chili's tutorials and things will start to click
Also its good to play with the console in windows, makes you feel like your building from scratch.
