by going to school, reading books, web sites, ... Start with simple "hello world" programs, then learn from that, try to focus on simple things before, like how to structure your thoughts and how to structure your small programs to make them easy to understand and make them easier to update and increase their complexity.

the same way we all did. buy a vic-20, and start typing in programs from compute! magazine.

Or a commodore!! I loved that magazine till it became PC Home Comuputing! :laugh: Geez, the old days. Even worse, get yourself a copy of vb6 and several books for a buck at any used store and go to town!

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know where the "Hello World" program came from, and why it is so popular? You could just as easily say "Hello Bob" or something completly different. Why "Hello World"?

I'll let you into a secret. All programming breaks down ultimately into 3 things. Programs have: Direction - i.e. they have a start, middle and end. Iteration - they can loop around and do things again and again. Decision - all but the most trivial program will make decisions at some point, i.e. if this is true then do this else do that. Everything else is just learning how to apply this. Now, read as much as you can about programming - don't limit yourself. Download a programming language or two to learn, there are numerous freely available ones; even the more popular ones such as C# or VB.NET. Then get some tutorials and follow them through. Congratulations and welcome to the weird and wonderful world of development.

I also didn't put Don't Post Programming Questions In The Lounge; I'll save those flames for later on.

the commodore vic-20 was the predecessor to the commodore 64 (which i believe is what you are referring too). all that power in a c-64, with all that memory and 9 hardware sprites, would be too much for a newbie.

If you really love it, just have fun learning a language and writing code. It will all flow from there. If you do not really love it, why bother?

Ah, but if they got the standard floppy drive, they would learn the joys of constantly opening up the drive and putting the belt back on the spinner! Or better yet, they would continuously try to use a tape drive and go mad from the experience! ;P I wonder how many people on here came from this similar back ground? Aaron
