How does i program

Name: Anonymous 2011-08-08 14:00

I cannot for the life of me attempt to program. I have tried a shitload of C,C++ tutorials, and i can do the simple

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
printf("Im a fag");

getch();
return 0;
}

But thats really it, i cannot remember all of the complex stuff.

What do you think i can do to learn ANY programming language, i dont care if i have to start from scratch. And do you think there is any hope for me in the world of programming?

Eh, really? With all the spamming in this board about SICP? Well, that's the acronym for an introductory book on programming, which is thorough and uses a the simplest subset of the simplest language out there. But using only what it teaches you'd be hard pressed to make an actual application (it doesn't deal with user input, for example), but it gives a good foundation. You can download the Racket language to mess around and doing the exercises.

If that's too hard for you (and it could be, if you don't pick and choose the material it can get hardcore at times), try with some Python book, like Learn Python the Hard Way.

Maybe it's best to do both, as the first book covers a lot of topics but you'll want to look into other things in the mean time. Like doing GUIs.
