Well I'd say that java is pretty basic. So if you want you can try that out. I did java for a year and it was okay but just not my cup of tea so I moved to C++ where I find it much more enjoyable to program in. It's really all just person preference and what you are trying to acomplish with programming.

I'm kind of interested in computer security, but I also want to be able to counter if there should be a problem.
So far, I've settled with C++, but I'm still debating on what I truly want to stick with...

Spanish... :trollin:

To be honest I think C++ would be the way to go. You can keep it simple (like making aprogram to add two numbers) or you can go very complex (such as bringing in other text files into the program to be used as a variable to be used in an algorythim to solve a problem). The possibilites are endless.


If you do decide to get into it I would recomend starting with the "Hello World" program because it gives some basic commands such as printing text to the cmd promt and returning your function, etc... after that you can progress and get to the point where you can pretty much do anything you can think of with some problem solving skills.

Three websites that I like to use are cplusplus.com, daniweb, and dreamincode.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking..
So far, C++ seems like the way to go.
What would you suggest for mod tools? I'm still thinking about what I'm going to learn, but at the moment C++ sounds like the winner. :3

What do you mean by "mod tools" exactally? Like give me an example where you would use one in a real life senario because theres a mod tool for a lot of things lol

I was thinking more game mods... :O

I dont generally use C++ for game modding but if you wanted to get into that you should first get the basics of it down, then find what you want to mod. Then try to find an already existing mod for that game (to either get an idea what you have to do or just use it as a base to construct your application on). Sorry I couldn't help more but I generally stick to real world problems and math wehen I program so I don't know too much about game modding. But if I learn anything I'll let you know.
