  51. ---PROGRAMMING INFORMATION---
  52. Learning To Program:
  53. https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming - Khan Academy has a long reputation of good programming courses and is well known. Always a good start.
  54.  
  55. https://www.udacity.com/ - I learned a bit of Java from these guys 3 or 4 years ago. The site has changed a lot since I last used it and they have a lot more content. They're also very code oriented; meaning they have a LOT of different courses for a lot of different coding languages.
  56.  
  57. https://www.youtube.com/user/thenewboston - This fucking guy, right here SAVED my LIFE in university. I passed my first and second year programming exams because of this guy. Really mellow, modest sounding guy, pretty good programmer and explains things in simple terms. He has a various amount of tutorials for programming. You'll probably want to start with C++. That goes with everything though. C++ is your all around best-bet.
  58. =====
  59.  
  60. Programming Resources:
  61. You're going to be on Reddit and StackOverflow a LOT. A LOT, A LOT. They are the biggest hubs for programmer information you can get. Especially StackOverflow. If you have a question, there's a 90% chance someone has already asked it on StackOverflow. And if not, ask and chances are someone will respond.
  62. Also, GOOGLE. IS. YOUR. FRIEND. Google everything. EVERYTHING. That is not an exaggeration, especially with programming.
  63.  
  64. http://stackoverflow.com/ - The best place for programming related questions. Like I said above, if you have a question, chances are someone has already asked it on StackOverflow. Search is your friend. Google is your friend.
  65.  
  66. If you haven't already, MAKE A REDDIT ACCOUNT. Reddit is a really good community for sharing information. LOTS of different subReddits for specifics topics and interests. Not just programming.
  67.  
  68. http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/ - Programming SubReddit.
  69.  
  70. http://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming - Learning to program SubReddit.
  71. http://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/wiki/index - Index of information.
  72. http://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/wiki/online - Interactive programming tutorials.
  73.  
  74. http://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/ - Game Dev SubReddit. Has a lot of resources on the right toolbar and usually a good flow of questions and helpful articles.
  75.  
  76. http://www.reddit.com/r/compsci/ - Computer Science SubReddit. Computer Science is more for the theory and university level algorithms and whatnot.
  77.  
  78. =====
  79.  
  80. What To Program With:
  81. An IDE is a "Integrated Development Environment". It is what you will be programming on and what will compile your code. Depending on the IDE, it will have different functionality and usually is more geared towards a certain language. Though, there are IDEs that excel in all languages.
  82.  
  83. https://www.visualstudio.com/ - The king of all IDEs. Universally used throughout all developers. Easily the best, and my personal favorite for coding in. You can get Visual Studio express for free but if you really want it, I can probably get you the latest, full version.
  84.  
  85. http://www.codeblocks.org/ - The standard option if you're going for the full free and open source model.
  86.  
  87. https://eclipse.org/ - An IDE more used with Java related programs.
  88.  
  89. http://www.sublimetext.com/ - Sublime Text is a glorified text editor but it is actually really awesome and aesthetically pleasing. It's good for the simpler languages, such as more web related stuff (HTML, CSS, PHP, JAVA, etc).
  90.  
  91. http://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/wiki/tools - A more complete list of tools and IDEs to use. Though, the ones I've listed are the best and most common.
  92. =====

  94. Learning To use Git:

  96. =====
  97.  
  98. Repository Programs:
