hey guys am kind of a newfag just browsing this thread. was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with programming. going to college soon and wanted to know if programming was right for me.
Literally just watch one of the thousands of free programming courses online from MVA, edx, codecademy, etc.

Don't do school unless its MIT, Carnegie, Stanford, decent school. Join a bootcamp/trade school if you're dishing out money. They guarantee a job unlike most of these "tech schools"

thanks! was hoping for a personal response but this helps
I would recommend starting with something like BASIC or if you want a newer language go for something like python. These can help get you started understanding how they work and such. My first language was a form of BASIC called SmileBASIC(From petit computer and it's successor, literally called SmileBASIC) kek

you could've literally just googled how to start programming and would've gotten the same result, you're wasting resources.
