Programming has been a hobby of mine for a long time.I even used Basic on a Commodore 16 a very long time ago, but it really got started late nineties with PHP scripts.These PHP scripts can still be found on this website.A few years later I got started with Java and C#. In 2008 I managed to learn the basics of C++.

If you have no programming experience, but you would like to start programming, I would suggest Java of C#. Java has the advantage that it is platform independent and that there is a huge community for Java. Programs in C# can only run on Windows systems( although the Mono project aims to make .Net software able to run on any platform). The syntax of C# and Java is very similar, so if you know one, then it's relatively easy to learn the other. C+ is the most powerful programming language , it allows anything from very low level operations (pointers and bitshift operations) to high level Object Oriented Programming.(OOP).But because of this it also has a more steep learning learning curve then the other 2 programming languages mentioned before.

On this website I collected some programming resources, I hope they are useful for you.
