Looking to take programing classes online. Where can I go

[alanwest09872]

Ok I have looked at a few different places. I am looking to learn how to program.
I am mostly looking into creating games for the pc.
Does anyone know the best place to learn how to program. I would love to hear it. Thanks

I was hoping to learn with the unreal engine or something similar

For general unreal stuff I'd start with these forums and go from there.

If you want to get into creating game engines I would start with C++ or Java. OpenGL itself is used with C++ but JOGL can be used which binds java for OpenGL which might be easier for a beginner due to not needing to worry about memory management.

Im not looking to creating a game engine thou.

Im looking to use an existing game engine to create games.

Here you go, http://unity3d.com/unity/download/ remember this is a full fledged game engine so it may look like a bit daunting at first.But it has good support and you will be able to create something on a small scale faster.Actually creating a full fledged direct x/opengl game isn't easy, that is why most people start with modding.
