Programming, where to start?

[Fishy4004]

so, I've built a pc. I think that's nothing. But, now I wanna start programming. With those Arduinos and stuff. Where do I start? What do I do? Could I get a brief tutorial? I've read about those Arduino Uno's, I wanna start small. Maybe make something that blinks. Some small stuff you know? I just wanna know when and how to start.

Here would be an appropriate place.

Getting Started with Arduino and Genuino products, might be one place to start... (brought you by "your friend" and mine...)

Migrate there?

There is a lot of arduino tutorials and samples. Even android apps that do that. This thread should be in programming and not highly technical. ask a mod to move it.

Start with basic C/C++

It depends on what kind of projects you are interested in. Programming isn't something you can really study. Its a set of tools and principles you use to solve problems or make cool stuff. So the best way to learn programming is to solve problems and make cool stuff.

So if you are interested in maker boards and arduinos then buy one and play with it. Seek out tutorials on arduinos. Do your own research and experiment. It will come together, as if by magic, sooner than you think.

raspberry pi has a good OS (linux) and Mathematica included. It's a much higher level language (interpreted). It might be easier. Since it's pretty typical for linux OS, you can easily use the gcc w c compiler and get into simple standard languages like c. eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5dGFc-J1rM

This. You need a project/goal to work towards. If you have the desire, the tools don't matter. Mac, PC, C#, Java, Python...you will find a way.

You must know some programming language to start for this. You can start from any of the C/C++, JAVA, Python etc.
