13.5 years old and want to learn c++
Posted by Fearless_War1683@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 18 comments
so basically when i was in 6th, i started learning arduino a bit (not like very comprehensively) and had like one of my elder sister's friend to help me with it but now they are not in like good terms anymore and idk anything about like programming in general. i've wanted to learn game dev so thats why i thought of learning c++ since it makes learning other languages easier but i dont know where to learn for and which would be the ngl. even my dad knows a lot of programming languages but he's a scary teacher so i just dont want to ask him much about it : )))

Shutup you want me to believe you? Karma farmer

Wth is a "karma farmer"? Btw, please don't use those 9 year old iPad kids insults to me. Also, learn grammar first and then start working in a "startup"

You said you were 13 .you are just some old guy with no job rn .

Someone having beef with a 13.5 year old kid trying to learn programming sounds like "a old guy with no job rn".

Whatever helps your ego.

ig ur running out of comebacks
Fearless_War1683@reddit (OP)
wth ur talking about, u started it first

You don't need to be a "old guy" just to know basic grammar. Also the way in which you punctuated the reply and capitalised the letters were wrong.

Also, maybe don’t format your résumé like a spam email from some sketchy brand that can’t even spell their ABC's properly

I did CS50 at your age. Although they teach C and other programming languages, they set you up with an amazing base to get started in anything programming related. Once you learn a programming language, you’ve pretty much learned them all

oh thanks!! so like cs50 teaches how like programming works and the basic principles of it??

Hey man. Mods hopefully don’t smite me but I wanted to say.
I’m 26 and I’m just now starting my career (sales in ent tech) and I’m starting now only to dabble in software development/programming as a way to upskill myself on the side.
Man, if I had started learning this when I was thirteen, my life would be so much different than it is now! Good on you for looking into this and take it forward to see if you like it! Consider what you want out of mastering languages and what you want to see come from it as you grow! In however many years time if you remember back to this comment feel free to reach out to me, or if you’d like you can just shoot me a message. I’d be glad to help you connect with peers in the field if you’re interested - everyone loves an ambitious person especially when they’re young.
I was always recommended launch school but I’m looking now at Python and Ruby myself to get started before making an investment. Good luck!

ty!! tbh, learning anything takes courage and even someone deciding to put in the effort to learn the language is a lot!! wish the best for u : )))
