My school never offered any programming classes but I took all the computer classes I could. For the past year I have been teaching myself programming in hopes of getting good enough at it that I could get a job doing it some day. I started with C++ but then gravitated towards Java and that's what I've been mainly learning this past year. I have learned a bit about other languages like PHP, HTML, C#, XML, Javascript, and a few others. I don't really want to LEARN a new language though until I feel I'm comfortable with Java I can use it to do anything I want. If you have tips, suggestions, or useful information that could help me as a beginning programmer it would be awesome if you could send me it. ^_^
