Hi all, I started going through the [Tutor] archives looking for resources on where to start. I have wanted to program for many years, but only just recently have made the time. I thought through different languages to start with: C, C# (My work uses .NET), Java, Python, Ruby, and others. I think I will still learn Java, but I have settled on putting most of my effort into Python first.
So, where do I start? I have very little money for books, but I expect there are good resources on the web. My eventual goal is to write either a sci-fi rogue-like game or a rogue-like game engine that allows "anyone" to create their own. I have glanced at PyGame, and like what it can do, but I don't even really know many basics of programming. Anyway, Thanks for taking the time to read this. Oh, some background... I graduated College with a music degree and a music teaching credential. That led into, believe it or not, a night job doing internet tech support, then a full time customer service manager at the same company, then help desk support at a non-profit, then help desk at a for profit.... Anyway, I'm a teacher by schooling, a computer tech by learning, and a programmer by yearning. :) Ok enough... Thanks for your time.
