@leec85 Dude thanks for the reply, Im interested in android and apple application development, have tried java in eclipse and i have the VERY basics, i find it very difficult though.

Do you have any tips for how i could go about learning it well?

@PossibleAsTheGospel lynda dot com , check out thenewboston on youtube, hes got a lot of Android tutorials. But you're right, theres not a lot of good online resources for learning programming in my opinion. I'm trying to figure out how to teach programming online well, in a way that will be effective for students. Theres a lot of different learning styles that factor in to how programming should or could be taught.

Hey, is math very important for comp sci and software/game development? Do you use it often? Thanks and i LOVE your videos!

[leec85]

@PossibleAsTheGospel Math is pretty important, yes, however DO NOT let this deter you from becoming a programmer. DO NOT BE AFRAID of math! I hear this all the time. "Well I can't do this stuff like you, I'm not good at math and you're good at math." No, screw that, you're a smart person and you can do anything you set your mind to if you want it bad enough. I'm a freak of nature with math and coding but that is irrelevant. ANYONE can learn how to code. Game development? I believe you can do it!

Yea I really want to but I don't wanna go2 school for it. Hate school so much. I just wanna do this , nothing extra! what should I do?!

@o0Tru0o In my opinion and keep in mind this is coming from someone who went to a pretty good college for CS ... college is way too expensive these days and is no worth it for MOST young people. I personally believe you can teach yourself just about anything using the internet. Tell me what you would like to create with code and I can recommend my opinion of the best way to go about it :) I'm here to help and empower aspiring coders as much as I can.
