Can someone help me with computer programing?

I want to learn how to write computer programs for a hobby. My uncle works with computers all the time at work, and he tells me that there are websites out there that will help get me started. Heck one of them even my very young cousin (less than ten years old) can do. Does anyone know where I may find them?

Depends on the language you want to learn. Web programming isn't terribly hard, so you might try that first:

That site has TONS of free web programming tutorials.





If you're looking for a little bit deeper of a language, Java is kind of up-and-coming and is relatively user-friendly (although, be forewarned, it is a HUGE language with lots of features and stuff to learn:

You can get free IDEs from Microsoft for C#, VB.net or C++. Look for the Visual Studio Express editions. Also, more info than you'll ever need:

Reply:If you have a specific language you want to learn, there are sites for specific languages, such as Visual BASIC, C++ or Java. One excellent site is Planet Source Code, which has source code samples in multiple languages. You will need to have the language's Integrated Development Environment (IDE) installed on your computer in order to run the samples though.
