| Post subject: Computer programming tutorials? |
I am very interested in learning the basics of computer programming. Perhaps how the command-line interface works with computers, or how to produce simple Flash games. Any ideas of any online tutorials or step-by-steps? Mac-compatible would be preferred. |

That has the basic concepts.
Essentially, once you learn one language, you've learned them all. Excepting moderately alien stuff like Fortran and Forth.
O'Reilly has some great books on coding.
If you are into Flash however, I'd probably recommend downloading some of the excellent Total Training DVD's from your favourite bittorrent site.
The Lynda tutorials pale in comparison.
Note that ActionScript has changed somewhat from CS2 -> CS3, so make sure that you install the version of Flash that your manual uses, otherwise nothing will work.
You may find that your goals vs useful stuff changes once you see what programming involves 
My first job was writing 8051 assembler for embedded systems. I got handed a data sheet, and a circuit board, and was told, go make that work.
Took a while before I got to use the hellishly expensive at the time ICE, so it was a matter of burn an EEPROM, test, etc..
Makes you test your code *properly* before you let it near a computer, haha. |
