  • i know batch...

  • Lol, It's not a contest of who's youngest.

  • im 10 and i make gamse with Game Maker and i try with C++

  • Dude just learn programming and development on your own its never to late.

  • I'm a hybrid programmer, I do the design and code development and I enjoy it. However, because of my dual capabilities I am always called on to do almost everything at work. Meetings after meetings, if you are a hybrid-pro you never rest, make sure you get your REST and go on FAMILY VACATIONS it is crucial to your life as a creative developer.

  • Create your own proggraming language quickly and easily with this website:

  • I'm 12 and I AM learning python, shell scripting and C.

  • @TheShadowFog I've reported your account as you've admitted to being 12. The minimum age for Youtube is 13.

  • Comment removed

  • @Machinimastone I am going to be 13 IN a month. Gawd. Your annoying.

  • i wonder if this guy even know how to code.....Talk talk talk,all common sense steps...even the dumbest programmer noes your dumb advices-.-

  • I guess my opinion on books is different, because as a programmer, you're tethered to the screen long enough already. Books let you rest your eyes a bit and are more comfortable to read in more positions.

  • Anyone interested in quality soundscenes for your games inbox me. i do all genres at great prices :)

  • Even if peoples will disagree with me, I'll say Books can suck my balls. They're costy, not really to find good ones and can be eaten by your dog. The Internet is an infinite and almost always free source of info, and only requires what you should already have if you're gonna be a programmer

  • @TheMasterMind555 for learning programming i like the idea of having books that set you assignments and give solutions, giving a clear solid pathway to learning the language. Also investing money into books makes me feel guilty if i dont keep with it :L

  • I'm 14 and know C/C++ - 7.2, C# - 8.8, ECMAScript derivatives (ActionScript 3/JavaScript) - 9, HTML - 10, PHP - 10, CSS - 7, AutoIt 3 - 8, Python - 7.5, Delphi - 8, and Brainfuck (wrote an interpreter for it) - 2. Ability in each language is indicated by the number next to it from 1-10. I've taught myself programming from scratch, from the foundation of algebraic concepts to classes, pointers, loops, and other programming constructs. This was thanks to three years of school without homework :D.

  • @failwhale22 lucky. I started web design at 13. and i am now starting to program using objective - c/ c++ and such..... and whats Brainfuck? hahah is that an actual language?

  • @TheSchmitzrunner Cool. Brainfuck is really simple but unusable for general stuff. It has 8 different commands, each one character. '>' moves ahead in memory, '<' moves backward, '+' increases the value at the current memory location, '-' decreases. '[' begins a loop until the value at the current memory location is non-zero, and ']' ends that. ',' asks for an input of a character and then inserts it into the current memory location, and '.' prints the character at the current memory location:)

  • @failwhale22 oh and to add I'm starting my switch from web design to programming at 16

  • @failwhale22 omg same except for python and delphi

  • @failwhale22 How did you get the school to let you off homework for 3 years . Im 11 now an so if i get homework off for the next 3 years ill be like you in programming skills .

  • @FahimAliTV I am a special education student, got placed into a school for learning disabilities. They didn't assign homework, but that gave me the opportunity to find something that I was passionate about and work on it. Just goes to show how much of a waste of time school is ;)

  • @failwhale22 DUDE, im 14 also, and i want to learn some of this stuff so bad.

  • @failwhale22 how did you learn, what books did you use, interested in field and would like to learn some. Thanks

  • Comment removed

  • @TheHalgeo I used online tutorials and read the languages' manuals. You just need a bit of persistence, it can be pretty frustrating when you're just starting off, you think everything is going to work fine, and then you get hit by tons of errors. Also, be sure to get an editor with good code completion, since I found that to be a wonderful learning tool as well.

  • @failwhale22 Dang man, I'm 14 and I only know C++ and I'm nice at it know all the way up to typecasting, polymorphism, inheritance, string functions, templates, etc. C++>ALL OTHER OOP LANGUAGES!! If I didn't have homework I would be such an awesome programmer.. I did use HTML before and know some JavaScript

  • @failwhale22 Right.... and I'm a cowboy astronaut millionaire. Don't lie kid, absolute bs.

  • @Soap360 I'm actually not kidding. If you're interested in some code samples, I would be happy to send them to you. It seems like a lot, but once you learn the basic concepts, it isn't that difficult to learn another language's syntax/features/etc. I know I sound like a smartass in the first comment but that was a half year ago :p

  • @failwhale22 When people say, I "know" the language, knowing how to pass a pointer or knowing the syntax of another language is the farthest thing from "knowing" it. Don't kid yourself.

  • @Soap360 I never said that all I knew was the syntax of those languages. Look, if you don't believe me I can happily send you some samples of my code.

  • @failwhale22 WOW, thats amazing. Im at your age of 14, but dont really know where to start, what did u do? Thanks :)

  • @DazNoobs I started out with a simple scripting language called "AutoIt". It's a wonderful language for beginners, and then you can move up to something like PHP or FreeBASIC. After that, you should have a good foundation for learning other languages. I'm only going by my route, so you might try something different.

  • @failwhale22 hey could you send me a pm of a list of programs that i would use as a total"noob"? i have Unity but im far too stupid to use that, or is there any books you can recommend? thanks.

  • @failwhale22 Same, (except for all the languages) then highschool came along. Saddly I only know Lua, and highschool disrupted my C++ learning due to all the stuff I had to do. Then I just got lazy, but I am not learning Java fo reals. Where did you learn all those languages?

  • @AutomatonGames I learned them on my own with a lot of free time from reading documentation and using code completion as a learning tool for each language. It isn't that difficult, you just can't be lazy.

  • i have done, shockwave, php, html, asp.net, vb.net. and next will be javascript. i dunno if i am missing any others.

  • This is pure idiocy.

  • i'm 12.I already did a FPS now i'm improving it graphics(USED C++ AND PYGAME, PYTHON TO CODE)

    PROGRAMMING FOR LIFE.

    I'M CURRENTLY DEVELOPING AN IPHONE GAME(RELEASE DATE AROUND SEPTEMBER 2011.

  • i just starting learning java but i'm not at the level with programmers who actually find this easy. Would it be hard to find a job in my field?

  • I started basic @ about 8 years old. Stoped about 15 years ago, Just started geting back into programming 6 months ago, I started with C++ found that great but decided to go on to java. Been doing java for about 3 months i suppose & im still very beginner. For me reading an actual physical book is the best way of learning i can absorb it better :)

    Good luck dont rush your learning, Good programing takes 10+years to achieve not over night

  • I'm a unicorn! lol

  • if you wish you knew how to program etc why dont you learn how to and then gibe the best advise

  • @yyjyhyjijihyui oh you. youtube had launched 6 years ago. You claim seven. Your argument is invalid.

  • i started programming when i was 11

  • I'm a double threat.

  • lol unicorn

  • @yyjyhyjijihyui no, i asked you first, and if you'd like i could show you some AS2.0 or some Visual basic

  • @yyjyhyjijihyui prove it

  • public class Penis

    {

    public static void main (String args[])

    {  System.out.println("Shut the fuck up");

    }

    }

  • @superninja234 Ah, so you're one of those "Hello World" programmers! LOL

  • @yyjyhyjijihyui you dont know shit.

  • @yyjyhyjijihyui Interesting... If you've been using YouTube since you were 4... And now you'rs 11.. That would make YouTube 7 years old... Which it isn't...

  • hey i am 13 and before you guys go bitching to me how i probably am lying i went to the world competition in robofest this year (April/May) and came out 9th. there are people who can do it you know >.<, oh me and my teammates (3 all together) programmed in NXC, a version of C and C++ so that the robot can understand. We just hacked into the Lego mindstorms because regular robots are really expensive. i dunno if our names are there or not but if you want pm me if you want SOME kind of proof.

  • @bayzarea925 *my teammates and I >.<

  • @bayzarea925

    Im not going to doubt you on that, i started programming when i was around 13, and Lego mindstorms is awesome :)

  • Lol, I'm in the middle of learning prgramming and reading isn't involved THAT much.

  • Hey guys, I'm (insert age 11-15 here) and I know HTML and a bit of (Language I read a chapter on once while my mom was shopping for gossip magazines)

  • wow. a 20-ish guy doesn't know programming. And he consider's himself a geek. I'm 11 and I know Batch, BASIC, Visual Basic .NET, HTML, C++, C#, Assembly, and Assembler (There is a difference. Assembly is text like "mov ax, ; "or" .db" Assembler might be binaries.) Well, what do you expect from a Mac user. I didn't get taught by anyone. I taught MYSELF. I even wrote my own OS! It's called OS3. I wrote it in assembly. You can get it at... No, I don't wanna get get marked as spam. Comment for link!

  • @buildingmovies no you dont.

  • @buildingmovies You dumbass you never made a os in assembly, you probably don't know how to program at all.

  • @buildingmovies

    I know all of them. There are really 3 categories and how much they very is like how people speak. Of course each language has something special about it. I highly doubt your truly experienced in any of them. I'm surprised your definition of geek is HURRR DURRRR PROGRAMMING. You remind of one of my Bro's friends called Patrick. He thought he knew a lot about programming and stuff but he didn't. So please, think before you post.

  • @buildingmovies

    yea, your post is horseshit and you know it. Assembly and Assembler are the same thing. Batch is not a programming language and neither is HTML. You did not write your own OS. And if you did, inbox me with the fundamentals and requirements that an OS requires and i will determine if you really did or not. And Assembler is always complied to binary idiot. What the hell do you think runs the code? binary is what the computer reads.

  • @gm3dgames (sharp)define AS$HOLE gm3dgames

    (sharp)include (pointy thing)iostream(dot)h(pointy thing)

    void main(void)

    { cout << "You suk, AS$HOLE \nGet a life!";

    }

  • @buildingmovies

    you forgot to include the std namespace dickhead... NICE FAIL

  • Im 14.I use Linux. And I got my school to switch all of its servers (4) to Linux, And about 50 workstations to Linux. I write in

    Mono

    Java

    GTK

    QT

    Python

    PHP scripting

    a 14 yearold Server Admin? Kinda wierd now. Butt it pays good!!! Lol

  • @farter1255

    Good job on making the workstations that much less efficient in your school then... The reason most schools use Windows is because of the support. The only support you have with linux is unofficial community support. Also, GTK and QT are not programming languages, They are API's. I would be seriously worried if you are a server admin.

  • @gm3dgames <y school and all the schools around my school use macs. o.0

  • @bayzarea925

    Mac's are fine aswell since they offer support from an official company :) even though i don't like them, i admit they are easy to use and have a clean interface.

  • look iv never programmed my self and i dont know where to start because when i grow up i want to be IT can u help me?

  • To become a web developer.

    Here is a guide in on how to approach the subject in stages.

    stage 1) Learn xhtml, photoshop to make some basic webpages and sites.

    stage 2) Learn javascript, jquery to add some cool client side stuff.

    stage 3) Learn some PHP to do some cool server side stuff.

    stage 4) Choose a CMS like Drupal, Joomla or Wordpress and learn how to manage and develop with it.

    stage 5) Learn your CMS to a framework level so you can create you own components and extensions.

  • HTML ftw

  • It might also be safer to program within a virtual machine, it's safeer if it dies there because it's easy to backup vs your actual computer which can be backed up but if you don't have a back up then that's that. Just make a virtual machine programing but back that up, because there is less information at risk.

  • is to easy to be a programmer , specialy when u can understand the english , and is really funny , because the programmation makes feel like im a king , because i give just the orders and orders ( select , insert, delete, if , do , while ...etc ) ,

    but the lessons is not really Sufficient to learn , the right way to learn this languages is by trying and trying ;)

  • @SimohammeD007

    Sorry i mean 'too' not 'to' (bad english)

  • Suggestion: Place the ten tips in the description in text format for people to save time.

  • Why all programmers are weird

  • @JesusWASdarkSkin not all programmers are weird IMHO

  • @JesusWASdarkSkin Why other ppl aren't?

  • @Tylerdx C++ is easy! look at arduino

  • 3:33 stop taking a dump on camera!

  • I'm almost 13 and I used to code webpages for fun. Proves I'm just the typical Geek.

    HTML, PHP, SQL, Javascript etc. etc. You name it. I have 100's of pages of coding in my documents, 100's!

    I quit it though. Because, well, I was going no where with it. It got boring after a while

  • @Acceptable76 Maybe you would just enjoy a change. HTML, PHP, SQL, Javascript -- those are all web languages. I'm pretty sure none of those are full turing-complete programming languages. Maybe you should try C?

  • @kbg2289 Yeah, I get what your saying. I tried C++ once. It was okay.

  • i know these languages: C+ C# java mysql javascript html php visual basic 4tran an im only 12!!!!
  • @JakobKorber lol sure...

  • @JakobKorber jack of all trades?

  • Comment removed

  • Real men use vi and gcc.

  • in my opinion, start with Java first, and then go on to C++

  • im 14 and iknow HTML, bit of java , c++, visual basic and trying to learn c#. Its really hard at the start but then you get the hang of it later.

  • I learn by myself, I use these free tools:

    1. Xcode

    2. Interface Builder

    3. HyperNext Studio

  • It's fun to make your own programming language. It's not very hard you can easly make it in c#.(And it seems like everyone is typing their age so I'm also going to do that) And I'm 11 and 362 days old.

  • @lasarus199818 u mean to make a program right?

    cause making your own language is hard, not as easy as you think....making a compiler is even worse

  • @lucirz I actually meant making a programming language and a compiler. I made a video of my old programming language.

  • i cant read stories but i find programing book so interesting im currently learning java

  • im 14.. and i really hate being patience ..so i hate reading for hours to learn those languages .. but i want to learn a programming language ... im a FAILURE

  • @q8sauod You why, im 14 too though the key is to practice u can read a lot but if u practice it alot it will stick in ur head

  • @q8sauod don't learn, its useless, be thrown in, you learn over 9000 times faster.

  • it's OVER NINE THOUSAND!

  • Hey man, I started programming at the age of 13 and I'm actually really really good at this.

  • Hey man, I'm mexsin3, I was another computer and didn't realized I was signed in with that account, anyways to be honest I did a web browser project when I first started programming, I look at the project now and it's easy progamming. Regarding to your project it's not bad but there are a lot of things to do (you might know this). I'm 15 now, could you give me your email so we can chat ?

  • Sorry for grammar mistakes.

  • @pac741 you can chat at my groups website if you want... n e t r e x l a b s . c o m

  • @pac741 plz sign up to it

  • oh no man, i just meant im part of netrex sry.

  • @mexsin3 im 13 and i want to learn this stuff it sounds really interesting! but where in the hell do i start? im in 8th grade and taking all AP classes im up to integrated algebra in math. basically, where do i begin?

  • @Zake4688194 c++ for dummies was really easy for me to start learn c++ using code blocks which is awesome btw

  • @mexsin3 Me too.

  • @q8sauod

    You are not a failure, you just have to find something that you are really passionate about and put your heart into. Even if you want to become a programmer, take your time and learn a little bit at a time.

  • @q8sauod Oh, you'll have to, but don't read for hours at a time! spend a lot more time on writing code than reading, and more importantly, write practical applications, even if that means just simple things like how to find out if a string is a palindrome.

    I spent too much time just trying to remember a particular language feature, or some part of the standard library, and that proved to be a big mistake.

  • @q8sauod By the time you are out of high school, you will already have become a master at some of those languages.

  • @q8sauod i am also 14, i have read about 3-4 books on programming. if you arent into reading, dont program.

  • @q8sauod hi, I started with it around the same age as you are now.

    I have no patience and didn't read for hours.

    start with a game engine for making games and scripting a bit in it

    you will get it eventually

  • @MrDpsc

    Starting with a game engine is one of the worst idea's in the world. Start with learning about the fundamentals of the language and the syntax. Write console programs (not batch!) that gather input to a variable, learn basic IO and especially about dynamic memory allocation, pointers, and arrays. It will all eventually get stuck in your head, then you are ready to move forward.

  • @gm3dgames

    why? I started learning in a very basic engine and did some scripting.

    the scripts became more complicated and in the end I learned java, vb,...

  • @q8sauod You have to be patient :[

  • @q8sauod I haven't been learning for hours to program, what I did is just read a page of html and then copy small bits etc..

  • @q8sauod lol bro, I know how you feel... and im 22... sooo... ya

  • @q8sauod Stop reading and start programming! Otherwise, you can go dip your balls in lava.

  • Comment removed

  • well mate i recomend you watching the new boston tutorials becouse well i wasnt a patience guy and also a person that doesnt like to read i also thought i was a failure back then when i was 11 years old when my father introduced me to LOGO AND QBASIC so i think you should get into easier languages like me and well im also 14 and im already in C++ becouse well i already know logo, basic , javascript and C !

  • @darkdevil905 lol .. LOGO, I HATE IT!!!!!!! they used to teach it to me in middle school ... i hated it coz its just so easy :<

  • does hackers relate to programmers?

  • it's like the relationship between squares and rectangles. a hacker is a programmer but a programmer is not necessarily a hacker.

  • Hi i'm 14 and i no Basic, some HTML, im just learning C++ now and im stuck on how to use the left keyboard button to move a person to the left in my game :(

    If any1 knows can u PLEASE REPLY :D

  • I'm 14 and I can code in xHTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP. I'm also a designer. It just takes some practice really. It is worth it to learn - I make over $50 per website design I sell.

  • wow you are such a liar

  • $50 a website design? If you're as good as you say you are...you could charge more, you know that right?

  • like how much? supossing that im a good wrb disigner,and other question,if u disign your own web does the advertisements in that page gives u money?

  • and realy a big deal im 13 know HTML, CSS, Java, Javascripts, PHP, Basic and some parts of C#

  • i found vb it works like wonders for me vb and c# ive made my own operating systems in c# there amazing lanuages and take about 2 years to learn but once you know them they are so easy

  • In my opinion, I think it's easier to learn Visual Basic first before any other programming language. I think that Visual Basic goes in a little more detail when regarding the differences in the sequential, selection, and repetition structures. For beginners with no experience in programming, I think Visual Basic would be the best choice. Then after learning Visual Basic, then they could take C#, C++, PHP, Java or whatever else programming language they want to learn about.

  • hey, i use a mac

    what is the mac equivalent of visual basic?

  • xcode is pretty good

  • @terrencej18 Avoid visual basics! it might give you good results from the start, but theres a lot of things you have to unlearn(and that is hard) when you're moving on to another language.

  • @speed717

    lol, that comment is about 8 months old lol. Yeah, I hardly ever use Visual Basic now because I focus more now on C++, Java, Actionscript, and PHP.

  • I can design websites. It's real easy!

  • Another couple tips.

    Debug and test in virtual machines only.

    Don't just save, use source control to track multiple versions of the same project. Subversion (SVN) is easy and effective at this.

  • Looks good. Could you rate my wip vids? Cheers.

  • This is a classic best buy sales man. Knows nothing with in the devices, but gives bad and good reviews on them. Then some how knows a friend who knows a friend who has it.

  • hey, i love your videos and thank you for the tips. im a second semester CIS major.. interest in web design and programming languages.

  • You look my like Italian teacher.

  • my personal computer programing fav is html im good at it

  • sorry, HTML isn't programming is a mark up language,, programming is different.

  • dam im starting to learn java script but its soo complacated i might go to java soon

  • they call it java script because you have to drink java constantly to learn it

  • Java is even harder -- no easy path just do it.

  • From a programmer to a novice. Learn C++ first. Read all Bjarne Stroustrup books.

    You will be a better C#, Java, etc programmer from there on in.

  • .NET languages and Java shield you from hardcore programming.

  • Really? Those are the only two languages I know lol. What do you mean exactly?

  • The problem with high level languages (Java, etc.) is that they shield you from really nice features that allow you to manipulate data so easily with so much power it is unbelievable. They have a lot of silly restrictions in the language. If you are learning strictly to do a project, by all means learn anything. However to be the real deal programmer, C++ is the way to get the concepts down. The rest is just bells and whistles for different software solutions.

  • I agree!  C++ is a excellent first language. Every programmer should learn to work with pointers. Once you learn C++, other languages such as Java, C+, php, etc. are easy to pick up and run with.

  • @cchampio my tip, learn one language first and try to master it!!!!! try c++ first and try to master that!

    it's true what he says, once u learn one, it's very easy to learn another.

  • Don't. the live is not worth it..

  • Yessir, I'm your nun!

  • I highly recommend open source software for anyone who is even thinking about programming. Get a copy of Linux or one of the BSDs. You can pick any little piece of the OS (like the clock in your tool bar), pull up the code, and see how it all works.

    Start with a multi-platform language. Python is excellent for beginners, doesn't teach too many bad habits.

  • Personally I believe that just going to be a programmer is rather useless, You are easily Out sourceable. Now on the other hand if you say posses a degree in Computer science you can program but are not limited to that. My father has Is a Software developer with a degree in computer science. DONT BE JUST A DEVELOPER - BE A COMPUTER SCIENTIST BE WE ROCK SHIT

  • C#, C++, & C---they are all the same language. They just differ in import files, object-oriented programming procedures, & modules (I think). Visual Basic is in my opinion better than Darkbasic Pro. I hope you have some books/pdfs as one of your resources.

  • "I think"

    Yeah, you think. C doesn't support objects, and C# is something different altogether.

    Visual Basic is just horrible.

  • I agree VB is horrible. But I was just answering another person's question when I posted it. I prefer Java, C, & C++. But yes, you are right they are completely different. C is nothing but procedural while C++ is a hybrid language (OOP & procedural). C# is suppose to be a OOP (not sure though), but from what I have read, it takes one too many steps to convert a source file into machine language..

  • As a third term engineering student I'm fed up with all the focus on the Unified Process to develop software. At the end of the day the CODE is the actual product, not all the mindnumbing documentation. The documentation should be a map for the developer so he can keep track of what he is doing or for other developers to quickly figure out how the system works so they can maintain and develop it in the future... So why all the details? Why 1000 pages showing how you get from point A to point B?

  • "#1 Read" is an excellent tip. Without a solid foundation in algorithms, logic, and general problem-solving, I think a person is going to be hard-pressed to put together a serious program. Knowing a language's syntax is one thing, but being able to take a language and build something useful and functional is a whole other talent.

    Good video.

  • i hate when people dont comment their code its annoyin as fuck.

  • Amen Brother, yes it is, and more when your fucking teammate try make all a complex method in a line lol.

  • how nice. I would suggest you take a good look at Walter Brights D programming language, it combines all good features from all common languages and puts it into a neat little language. Oh and its available as free software .. that unlike Micro$oft respects the users by allowing anyone to contribute ideas.

    So my point is why learn c++ when there are newer better alternatives around :) chers

  • My advice would be, install Debian GNU/Linux on a spare computer thats just standing there gathering dust. Then use aptitude to install python. This will give a idiot proof safe environment. Linux is nicer for people who know how to use a computer and in the end using free software that respects the users will lead to a better world for all programmers. So all you wanna try programming welcome to the free world of Debian.

  • I do it all. Best way is to teach yourself.
