Teach Genia How to Program and Win a Prize

[Amanda Morrison]

Yeah, so I'm not a comp sci major anymore, but indeed I was once, many moons ago. I thought I liked technology... I later realized I just loved language in general. However...

I bought this book when I was a senior in high school. It never left my desk at home during that year, and early into college. For just beginning, especially with if/then statements and such, this is an excellent reference. That, or go to a local college's bookstore (in Genia's case, Purdue) and look for the CS courses. Look for low numbered classes, like 101, 102, etc., and look at the books that are required for the class. These are often really good books to look at (and, instead of buying it, you may be able to get some for really cheap on Amazon or from the local library).

HAHA I guess it just runs in the team. I do the mechanics stuff on the team but being a senior I figured it would be fun to take a programming course so I ended up taking a Java course. Long story short even our teacher can't understand what I am doing but she says as long as it gets you where you wanna go it doesnt matter how many sidesteps I take.

Some of the words I've created Wrecktangle, Wreckedtangle, Advntrr, Xplrr, Byse, UhHuh, UhUh .... and that is just for my greeter.

(I started learning C# today...)

EDIT: It's .Text not .text, like I said, I started today.
EDIT 2: This wasn't meant to be taken serious, I highly don't recommend learning C# as your beginning language, however I just found my old PHP tutorials so I'll post those.
