What should I learn/ is most important/ what does it do.
As of now I'm going to learn C++. I don't even know what its used for though.

ROFL no way you will learn C++ without knowing any other coding first. Try learning something simpler like MySQL PHP and HTML

If you're planning on learning programming languages like C++ eventually, I suggest that, once you've learned HTML ( Which I suggest starting with ), learn JavaScript. It is a helper programming language for HTML, simple compared to other programming languages, and it's syntax is almost identical to Java and C++. After learning JavaScript, other programming languages should be relatively easy.

@Mcnoobster

Yea this was pretty much on a whim. I was like "Hey, why don't I learn C++, I mean how hard can it be?" Then I googled how, got a tutorial, searched for an hour where to type it in, and then posted this thread. I dont know anything about any kind of coding other than some of the names (HTML, LUA, C++, BASIC - thats pretty much it). I don't know what good it will do me or what its used for.

tl;dr: giv mi infoz

Suggested you learn C++ and Objective C. They are quite good if you want to get into a iPhone app creating (Which I am).

Check GeckoFPS' post.

And uh... someone mentioned a "compiler"? What is that and where do I type in the coding to do whatever I learn.

Well C++ is commonly used in making game engines and just normal computer programs such as calculators and other basic things. Your best bet would be learning HTML first it takes only about a day to learn it's hardly even coding. After that start with some more complex things like PHP or MySQL.

If you really do want to learn C++ first with out learning anything else before hand I honestly do prefer using thenewboston.

Search xoax (.) net, it has C++ and HTML video tutorials. I think it also tells you about them.

Codeblocks is for writing C++ and C# it is a compiler and debugger.

Oh yes, check out Thenewboston's videos on Youtube as well.

That's how I learned C#. His videos are very understandable.

Also, a compiler turns your code into a exe so you can run it.

batch is possibly more simple than Lua, mainly because to crash one's computer:

:start
start
goto start

what it does: keeps opening cmd until the computer overloads

Don't learn C++ first, learn HTML and JavaScript beforehand. HTML is for basic web design and JavaScript is for making games such as CP but they will help me learn C++, which is for making game engines and programs like calculators. I can test my codes with codeblocks and I can get that by going to there website. Eventually I will be able to make a nice site and game with my knowledge of these. A good tutorial/ way to learn is watch thenewbostons videos on YT or his site.

It depends on your level of programming. If you really want to dedicate yourself to learning and already know say... Lua, than I guess C++ would be ok. But, I'm starting out with C#. Its a lot easier to learn than C++ which is good to know, but hard to learn. Sadly, there isn't a C# group on roblox...
