How to learn ANY computer language. EASY!
#1
This is how I learn all my languages, and become almost a master in 3-4 months.

Books:
Go check out a book at your local library! They are very detailed and easy to learn.

W3schools:
Horrible, un-detailed, short, and just plain old nasty.
I hate w3schools. It is the spawn of satin of coding. Never use it.

Why books, and not w3 schools?:
Think of it like this! Online tutorials are FREE! YAY! No...That means the author put less effort in that tutorial, therefore making it less detailed, and harder to learn (w3schools)

When an author writes a coding book, they want to make it AS DETAILED as possible, and good, so people will buy it. Use books. TRUST me.

I'll be learning Java next year in school. I'll probably take a book though and start learning early. Smile

You forgot to mention you can Google how to do something if you can't find it in a book, or too lazy to look for it.

I learn most things through examples. I am horribly afraid of memorization, so scripting would be very hard for me, I guess.

cplusplus.com is pretty good for learning C++.

Also, bet you haven't seen some of these languages in use:

W3Schools is okay for reference and testing out your code. At least HTML-wise.

Those languages aren't really "in use". xD

Just novelty, I guess.

There is a difference between creation and implementation.

Those have not been actually turned into a workable program.

You can compile them, in fact, some of them have multiple compilers.
