Hello PMC!
I would love to become part of the dev world but I fail to learn coding with videos and blogs. I like to have the ability to ask questions and have someone look at my mistakes. I would be very greatful if a kind soul could help me in my quest to learn how to code. Also sadly I cannot pay :/ Sorry if the turns you away I can respect that.

I have some advice for a novice coder. The first thing I would look up is TheNewBoston, which teaches lots and lots of languages through short and educative videos. TheNewBoston is located here.

Hey man, I am a dev, and I love to see people wanting to learn Java and get into the great community that it offers. This is my 4 year coding and I have had allot of experience, and I have to say, if you want to start, it is going to take allot of time, and allot of patients with allot of trial and error.

With the blogs and videos, I have not seen one extremely good video or blog because there is so much information to fit into such a small space. If I can suggest a good way to get you started, I would look at Code Academy, I have checked it out before and it seems super useful and very engaging.

Another suggest that I would have after you do that for awhile is, well, I don't know how old you are, but I took a class for my senior year a high school on it. And, im not talking a class class, it was just a little thing after school that a group of us got together with the tech department guy.

One more suggestion, I know my local Junior Collage offers a class to, and it is a class class, so if you eventually want to get into it for a job or something to make money off of later, I would check out your local JC.

And, the fact that there is such a great community around java, you can ask most of us any questions. Feel free to ask me any, and try bukkit because there is a ton of people in that little community that love to help.

If you have any questions just ask.

TaledusLet me provide you with some advice.

I honestly have no clue how to make mods for this game, but am working my way through it. But, of course, I have 7 years of programming experience, just not in Java, so the move to a new language is coming along fairly efficiently.

However, I started learning how to program on my own. Just starting out might seem like the most daunting task that there is, but from my experience, starting from the very basics is the best way, and not just jumping into a new language...very few actually learn anything this way. Experienced Java developers will tell you the same thing.

You're only 14. I started learning when I was 25, so I can promise that you will likely have a lot more success starting out now than at a later age like I did.

You have probably come across the site already, but thenewboston.org has some very good Java tutorials. I do not use them because I have a firm foundation with understanding programming languages and structures, but I have heard of others that swear by the tutorials on the guys site.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to give a stranger advice. I do know some basics but think I might revise before taking on a teacher though I usealy take a head on approach. Thanks for your input and have a great day!
