Computer Programming. Where to go, what to do?
Hi! My name is Darren. I want to pursue a career in computer programming but I don't know where to start. What are the first few steps I should take? I know that a first computer language is needed but I don't know which would be the most effective or the easiest. (Java, C++, ect...) What opportunities would be available to a 11th grader in high school living in SF? Are there places or websites that I could visit to learn more? What college choice would be best close to SF? I hope you get back to me on these questions. Thank you. #programming #computer-hardware #java #developer #operating-systems #website-creation #application-developer
