I'm quite technical with programming, but you're all excellent when it comes to computers. How did you get where you are?

^ I think I followed the same steps, excluding the C++ part. I haven't decided to learn anything else, I want to get better with Lua first.

It's not too hard to learn these things, it just takes a lot of time for some people.

Started Roblox
Started making stuff with free models
Read wiki to learn scripting
Took strange advice from a sagely moderator and scripter to learn C++ first
Failed
Read wiki again, no luck
Read DingDong272's tutorial
Learned how to script
I don't remember exactly what happened past that

Uhmm learning C++ before Lua? Lol, in my opinion Lua is more simple than C++, because you don't have to mess with library including and stuff. Syntax for both of them are is neat.

It took way to long to manage to get compiler running, and not even talking about getting new library on it(haven't done yet).

C++ is harder because of pointers, memory allocation, polymorphism, OOP, and templates.

Go to your local library and find out that your town probably doesn't care much for programming. Try your school library and get more depressing results.

I started by using free models, and realizing I would need to learn to script to customize them.
Then I discovered that I could make my own games without free models.
I dove into Java, don't judge me! The syntax was easy for my young eyes.
Learned all I would ever need to know in Batch(Basically nothing, for me, results may vary with others)
And I started to learn Python!

Have a question, just google it. *I love how 'google' has become a verb due to the company's success and public-outcry of love*

@MrGames

What would you define as "An actual programming language"? Assembly?

I didn't know anything about computer until I played roblox for 2 years, tried learning Lua. But them my mom met somebody that owned a computer company ( LENEX ), he showed my HTML and CSS, then I jumped off from there.


And then I learned the best language in history, LOLCODE!

Qbasic to Java, and from Java, a crap ton of languages (20 or more).
If markup languages counted, 40 or more.
I can learn most languages in about 1, maybe 2 days now. Well, at least the basics of them.

@kools, There was a study done, people preferred the search results from Bing at almost a 2:1 ratio. :p

And before that study, the company had noticed their search engine was more relevant than Google's.

Also, why is 'google' underlined in red on the Google Chrome web browser? I think you can find it in the dictionary, and yet Google's own browser says it is spelled wrong. (Maybe it's only in the Webster dictionaries found in the US).
