| 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.

| 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).
