I want to turn coding into a sort of hobby.
Like creating small online games.
I already know the basics of the very basics of JavaScript. My teacher recommended Learn street.
i did all the JavaScript lessons, and learn street is shutting down. I want to get serious with JavaScript.
Does anyone know where i can go to learn everything i would need to know?
Like html and more advanced JavaScript.

Thanks!

scratch was the first programming language I learned to use.
I think it's a great starter because it uses little script blocks that say what they do so you don't need to worry much about memorizing code. After playing with the script blocks in scratch I found it was very easy to pick up.

After getting good at scratch I would reccommend the language IDLE Python 2.7 or 3.3.
This is another great language that uses typed up code but is still fairly simple. (this was also my second language.)


Enjoy your programming whatever language you choose.

Yeah i really enjoyed using scratch.
But it couldn't really handle what i had in mind for it.
Do you know a good place to learn python?

You should try C++ or Java for better games.

Pascal is simple to use.

I say you should learn Python first. It's really easy, much easier than Java or C++. The one annoying thing about it is its lack of semicolons and braces. Instead it uses tabs and newlines.

Go to www.codecademy I'm learning JavaScript on there and they hVe tons of other courses including HTML, CSS, jQuery, Ruby, And Python. Some others too I think but can't remember them all.

The HTML5 canvas element can be a really cool way to create games using JavaScript (if you want to use JavaScript; this was my first real programming language, so I say go for it!). If you don't want to keep using JavaScript for whatever reason, I'd recommend learning a scripting language (e.g. Python, Ruby, etc.) before one of the more serious ones (e.g. Java, C++, etc.). While Java and C++ may have some advantages (perhaps better design for large-scale projects, run faster, etc.), they are also far less forgiving and (generally) more complicated than scripting languages. With a scripting language well under your belt, learning them should be a lot easier. I like to say (and I know I'm not the only one who says this) when you learn one programming language, you've learned them all. My opinion is that you might as well not start off with languages that are known for being difficult to learn I'm not sure “baptism by fire” is really a good way to start programming haha. Good luck

Edit: if your ultimate goal is to eventually learn C++ or Java, some scripting languages translate more readily than others. For instance, if your first language is Python, it can be a bit disorienting to switch to using the curly-braces of C++ (or vice versa, which is what happened to me xD). JavaScript isn't that dissimilar to C++ and Java, so I guess my ultimate advice is what I originally stated above: try sticking with JavaScript and doing some more advanced programming/projects.

I started with C# - it's more difficult than some other languages, but it's pretty useful, because it's similar to Java and other C languages. (As well as JavaScript.)

I would Start at python scratch or unity

Thanks, but two years later this probably doesn't need a response. Please check the date before posting - we have lots of other, more recent, threads about other languages to learn. Thanks!
