I've got a new form of code for you, erm, coders!

Lol, that's pretty funny.

Looks really basic and inefficient, though :P

Hello World!

Just wait till you get to the loops :P

My favorite language by far is Perl just because of how well it handles strings. My biggest complaint is some of the syntax, mostly the inability to omit brackets from if statements, I love avoiding their usage :P


PHP is pretty nice, but it tends to get fat, annoying, and not very portable (due to having to rely on modules like curl or XML-RPC which a lot of web hosts disable).

I don't really use C++ any more, mostly because I can write a 20 line thing in perl that will take C++ either a library and 50+ or 200-300+ lines of code. Simplicity, speed and maintainability are what you need and perl definitely is simple and easy to maintain.

I don't know much computer code. I used to work with html, css, and php some, and I really liked those. I haven't coded in over three years, though.

All you have to know is how the logic operates, which once you learn it makes most things easy as eating pie. I don't "memorize" anything really, I keep a reference open for the language and/or libraries I am working with and proceed from there. People look at big projects and think "I could never do that", you don't jump straight into higher level math, you slowly build up. The best way to learn how to program is to program, you don't learn to run longer distances by lifting weights. Choose a language, sit down and write crap. You don't need to write an uberomgwtfbbq program your first try, start small and work your way up.
 
Quick question. How hard would it be to prank my mom's computer so that whenever she hits the backspace button the message "Ha! Another typo or misspelling!"
 
Programming is easy and with a 4-year degree you get paid a lot of money for it, as long as you can endure the schoolwork for the degree which is 75% irrelevant.
 
You have to grab the input so for winblows you will need to mess with direct input and grab that key, then you have to tie into the keyboard which I have no idea what library would do that...
 
actually coding the little snippet itself wouldn't be much of a problem at all, though finding out how to execute that little snippet so that it comes up every time the button was pressed would be the hardest part.

If you are interested in learning to code, I would recommend learning Java. If only because its one of the easier ones to learn that people love seeing on a resume.

Though I might be biased because as of right now that's the only language I can claim any amount of knowledge in. (scripting languages not counted).
 
For beginners I suggest either Visual Basic, or Perl...and that LOLCODE looks just plain out stupid...lol...hah
