A thorough website to explain a bit of computer programming and basic computer/tech skills for the beginner?

Some sort of online manual for things like PowerPoint and Microsoft Word would be helpful; I would also like to learn the basics of programming. Is there an in-depth, informative (but easy-to-understand) website that would help?

You don't know what your asking. If you can't figure out how to use powerpoint and word then you might have trouble learning programming.





Programming is like a set of instructions or routines for your computer to do.





Each programming language has its own syntax, but most are very similar.


C is pretty basic. You make a text file called helloworld.c





/* this is a comment */


#include %26lt;stdio.h%26gt;


/* stdio is a header file which contains the printf function which basically print to your terminal


*/





int main(int argc, char * argv[]){


/* the main function is an entry point */


printf("hello world");





}





Then you go get a compiler. gnu c compiler is a free one that you can use on windows.


gcc -o helloworld.exe helloworld.c


Now you got a program.


Go to take a class.
