Learn a programming language first and try making a few programs for computer maybe?

You need to choose a language to learn. Lua is easier and can be picked up quickly.
C is harder but more can be achieved in this.

Most people code with Lua then switch to C

DEFINITELY start with lua.

ok, thats what i am doing, this is quite fun making programs saying "You are pressing the L button". maybe there is hope for me.

Im not sure how people remember all these commands and variables though.

It's easy to remember stuff, putting it to use is the hard part.

Lua is very easy to understand but C/C++ isnt as easy but eventually u get the hang of it

r u using the tuts at www.evilmana.com ?

yes silent bob, they are easy to follow, im having great fun with the tables.

Make sure you get a good understanding of the tutorials first, do them twice

i made the mistake of doing like the first 3 or 4 and jumping into making a game( bad idea )
