Hello Forums

[The713]

First I'd like to say I like how everyone has kept their intro short, quick, and vague. Let's home I'm as nice.

I'm new to these forums, obviously, and interested in getting back into computer programming. I attended a tech school for half the day two years through high school, and the program was new so it was all very much teach yourself work at your own pace, which is a nice little bit.

Recently reviving my interest in programming because not scripting is driving me nuts, however I'm not sure what language I should start off with again. In school I dabbled in Java, C++, and VisualBasics .Net. Played with HTML 4, Python, AutoIT (outdated buy it's predecessor AutoHotKeys), PHP, and Ruby on Rails, but never enough to really retain an entire lot. It's been about two years now and I'm a amateur Graphic designer for a box company, which isn't a bad job and I'm lucky to have it, but not exactly on the end of the computer world I wanna be.

I'm curious about micro-electronics and would like to get into make some cool little gadgets when money isn't so much an option, but for now I would like to get into making little games, game bots, simple scripts, complex scripts. Learn through play, but learn something none the less.

Any have idea good suggestions on languages to start with or small projects to get into and give a shot?

Welcome aboard! Any of the languages you mentioned are good, but each lends itself to different types of projects.

For the scripts and games, I like Python, but just about any scripting language should work fine. When you're messing with micro-electronics, you will probably have to use low-level languages such as C or Assembly.

Hi the713, welcome to codecall, How'd you find us ?

Guest,
I've been thinking of getting into Python for sometime now, perhaps I should just jump in. Thanks for the input.

James,
I found the forums through google yesterday at work. I was looking for a good programmer forum so I could try to find some small projects and such people may have ideas for so I could try and get myself back into programming. It's been about a year now since I have even touched code and I figured a good way to get back into it was see what people are working on and try to write the code and learn how to do it myself.
