Hello World...

/g/ could not come close to helping me, so I figured that you guys could :D

I had a small foray with C++ a long while back ( First and only language), but I was too young to understand it at the time and I lacked the knowledge of its practical applicaton.

Anyway now that I am out of school and secure in my shitty job at some local computer place, I think I want to get back into programming. I am still open to the language, but from the information that I have compiled (get it?) I think I will be trying C++ again.

I plan on using DevBloodshed C++ compiler, and just learning out of a book. I know next to nothing about what I need or what I am doing, so any tips or advice that you may have would be much appreciated.

OP here.

Thanks for the people who offered some advice, but this thread strongly resembles what happened in /g/...

I might take a look into Python, I have heard some people suggest it before. I might also take a look into LISP Scheme, some people have mentioned that as well.

It is hard to separate who is trying to help to who is trolling.
