Any of you guys here working as programmer/developer/coder?

I finally found a job and now I'm aiming at learning and achieving in programming.I am a total noob. It would be nice to read some of your stories about how you've succeeded in this profession and from where you've started.

And if you are here, reading, and you got nothing to do with programming and shet like that, download and watch Sherlock, cuz winter is here and that's the coziest series to watch

sherlock is shit for fujos.

to succeed in a coding job, it's better to know programming BEFORE getting into the job.

Coding takes a lifetime to learn and needs to be trained across multiple projects.

First thing to do is to pick at least 2 different languages to learn. Pick language that are available on many platform and that have a future.

If you have a PC, since you're into gaming, you could make your hand with modding, it's a very good way to learn.

I'm not into a programming job but I've spent my life programming on the side since I was 12

The job I'm starting has nothing to do with coding, forgot to point that. 😄 But it's good pay and 7 hours shifts, so I'll have all the time in the world for studying. As for languages I'm thinking of Java and C++. And btw, since you were 12 :o. How did you start then?

Good old 8 bit computer. Learned BASIC, hexadecimal, binary, and all that jazz, then learned machine code (machine code is VERY easy to use on a 8bit computer)

everybody should learn making small games on a 8 bit computer, managing limitations, modifying fonts to create graphics, playing with color restrictions and all that, it's so fucking fun.

basic fortran pascal c, all the same shit, but c is probably the best option since it can go down to machine level and now even to matlab and python level. what do you think?

some of these are different in style . I'd suggest a BASIC type of language and an OOP language (C++, java, etc...) because they are used differently.
