Back to school, back to school to show my daddy I'm not a fool... packed my lunch etc etc...
Anyway I'll try and keep this short as possible. (with a little back story to clarify)
I'm currently living in regional Victoria, next year my girlfriend is moving to uni and I plan to move with her to the city.
In the instance I have decided that I want to take all my unused brain power and enroll myself in a video games design course of some description.
I'm currently re-educating myself with max and photoshop but I want to be able to do more than just create things visually, and have become more increasingly interested in programming, also reading anarticle in PCpowerplay the other week, where a videogame exec stated that they would pick the designer who can code over the guy who can creatively design 9 times out of 10 made me consider this more.
Anyway I want to introduce myself to all things programming so I can put a small portfolio together so I can apply for a course as I don't have any formal education for a few of the prerequisites.
I've been doing a bit of reading online, got myself a compiler etc, but I wanted ask any of the coders on here in particular if they have any helpful resources for someone wanting to get started.
I also plan to use knowledge gained on some ff7 mods if i get the chance
Any resource on any language is good as I can't see how learning different programming languages would be such a bad thing.
Thanks in advance
