Learning how to program

Hey, I'm sure you get plenty of these threads and hate them to bits, but, here goes anyway.

I want to learn how to program, and end up in something like videogame development eventually, so, how do I get there?

There are so many different languages, and so many tutorials around I don't really know where to start.

Thanks for shitting up this thread with copy-pasta in advance.

Heh. Wow.

OP here, and I'd just like to say to you all, thanks. I really have been put off going into the Gaming Industry at any point in my life.

Really, I'd just like to be able to understand how computers work a bit better. Programming as a concept interests me, but I'm the kind of guy that needs a target to really get into doing anything. I was using the gaming industry as a target, but I guess that was a bad idea.


I don't know, really. I just like to learn shit. I'm just really bad at knowing where to start, heh.
