          If you don't know much, id suggest taking some A+ certification classes.

          Haven't you ever felt that way about music?
          Here's where it makes the most sense:
          You need it so you don't forget.
          Forget that...
          there are places in this world that aren't made out of stone,

          that they can't touch,
          that's yours"-Andy Dufrense

              yeah sorry for not specifying. to start in any field in regard to computers there are basics that all should know correct? Such as simple terms anyone interested in computers should know. i would like to learn to how write C, java, or basic html. i find it all so interesting. Btw thanks for the reply

                  You want to learn how to program.

                  You should start with a programming language called Python, as it's a lot more beginner-friendly than most other languages out there. There's an easy-to-use introductory page to get you all set up here.

                  I'd love to explain more, but my ride just got here.

                  Anyway, programming is pretty intimidating when you first start out. If you need someone to fall back on, you can hit me up on AIM at "Sic Trans Gloria"

                  Good luck.

                      If you want to learn HTML or any web coding, www.w3schools.com is a great source that takes you step-by-step. It's where I learned.

                                  I started programming with HTML which seems like the best way to work your way into the world of programming. Wow. That sounded cheesy.

                                      Maybe if coupled with a server-side scripting language such as PHP.

                                      As far as actual programming goes, HTML barely scratches the surface. The only thing they would learn from HTML is the concept of typing "code" into a text editor and having it appear on-screen (whereas they would still be left in the dark on all things related to variables, control structures, functions, classes, etc).

                                      That being said, XAMPP would be a great jumping-off point.
