hey guys, i have been wanting to learn how to program for myself and utilize it to my advantage (legally), any suggestions for a n00b of where to start learning or what code to learn first?

Well do you want to code? Or do you want to learn how to hack?

(Hacking is not illegal unless you do illegal things with it!)

Either way the answer is the same, depends on what you want to do. If you want to hack you should start off with very low-level machine-based languages like C, look up "The Art of Programming - Openlearning" for a free course on learning C. Networking is a second thing you could learn but C is most important

i mucked around with Notepad ++ and also i did ipt and Graphics in my years at High school.

A great way is to make a website from scratch, or just at least learn how to there is some very basic and helpful things you can do for the project. There is also some great game that implement coding, and i mean real coding to.

Web programming is sort of a different thing altogether.

If you want to learn the real intriciacies of programming languages, finding a deep knowledge of how to program, C is the place to be! IF you want to program some quick things, learn the basics and be able to make kickass scripts and stuff, python is probably your best bet. Python is much easier to learn than C, but you may learn less.

If you're wanting to learn how to program I would suggest learning Python first, it's probably the easiest to pick up. Trying to pick up C, C++, Java, etc. right off the bat is pretty much jumping straight into the deep end. Trust me, the first language I learned was Java in high school. It was a bitch.

In terms of hacking, I sorta just picked it up, my school IT department don't like me much

HTML is kinda fun, using scratch is a good place to start to make a website, but it sorta depends on personal preference. some people prefer other ways because they find it easier, but that may not be the case for you
