Need some Programming help

July 13 2013
I'm trying to learn some programming and right now I'm at a very basic level. I have a few apps I would like to work on for Stonewall Vanguard and need some guidance as to how to go about completing these projects. If you're willing to give me a hand or point me in the right direction, please private message me so we can get in contact.

Thank you!

It really depends what you're trying to do.

When you say apps do you mean web-based apps? web-based for this website? Android apps? iOS apps? Windows apps?

If you want to try your hand at some coding there's a few tutorial websites out there. http://www.codecademy.com/learn is a good one with step-by-step "lessons".

Also, depending on your ultimate goal, something called Phonegap may be a viable option. It lets you write apps in HTML/CSS/Javascript and compile to a multitude of platforms including iOS, Android and Windows Phone. The restriction about iOS however is that it must be compile on a Mac.

Some of the function calls can be tricky (such as getting a picture from the camera) But there are tutorials and examples out there that should help. If however your goal is to actually learn coding, this isn't the option for you.

Hey Elquin. You play guild wars 2 with me. :)

I can help you out in this field. I can definitely help point you in the right direction. I found out too late that programming was not for me, I'm more of a designer. So, what I have is a series of books and power point presentations that I can send you that can help you out a lot. My instructor at full sail university was a software engineer for Riot Games, and my platform engineer instructor was a employee of Rockstar games.

Any help would be great! I think I'm like you where I have a designer brain, but I'm just curious and like to reverse engineer stuff! I would love to build my own programs. At the moment I'm reading lots of books on programming. Got through a few HTML5/CSS and Javascript books so far. Taking the courses on codecadey.com as well. I'm really trying to come up with an interactive map for commanders to use in GW2 to show where they want troops to go to in real time by use of pins that they mark on the map or notes. Kinda like my temporary solution here: https://realtimeboard.com/app/5852704/My-first-board

Whatever programming languages you recommend for me, I will delve into. I went to school for graphic design... kind of thinking of a career switch due to demand in my area being low.

Thank you again so so so much~! =D

If you're looking to learn web development, I wrote a little blog post here on how I learned and some great resources out there.
