Programming/Language Tutorials

Does anybody know where I could find tutorials on Programming, I'm just beggining, and Languages such as HTML or others?

What language do you want to learn?

This one looks fairly good for HTML:

Here's one with quite a bit of info on several languages (mostly web languages)

My sis recommends Programmer's Heaven:

Hope this helps!

Thank you. I'm confused about something though. Java is used to create chats right?

Yes, if you know what you're doing, you can use Java to make a client for chats. But I'm not knowledgeable enough about it to tell you more...-_-

You can do loads of stuff with Java. A popular one is teach it to every student doing every computing or computing-related subject everywhere >.<;;

I just learned a little JavaScript and I think it is helping, I like the buttons and that stuff.

I would recomend books if possible you should try "Hands on HTML". If your interested in java (and your like me) you may find dynamic HTML to meet your interest.

I know the basic's of html like changing the background colour and changing the font, pasting an image, all that stuff. I've learned bassically about 35or 40% of html.

What I am really looking for is programming like C++ but not so complex yet. Something where I could make simple little 2d games, or chats like from java, but does anybody have a suggestion on a program I could start off with that is as complex as those? I just don't think I'm quite ready for all that.

So you're going for programs and scripts already made then. If it's going to be web, then I would recommend taking a visit at HotScripts.com. They have tons of Java, CGI (Perl that is), PHP, Java Script, and there's a few others that I can't remember off the top of my head right now. As for books, buy O'Reilley's Web Design in a Nutshell. It's a great book that covers all of HTML and a little bit of everything esle. It's not a staight reading book but a reference book. I would just read the introduction of each chaper to see what you would like to use and to be able to flip through the book real quick without needing the Table of Contents so much.

It depends on what you want to learn to do. Personally, I'd recommend Pascal if you're interested in learning programming fundamentals, and importantly developing a good style. There is a visual version called Delphi, which adds windows functionality (and various components, etc).

As for Java,
Java is a nice language to use for beginners for the following reasons.
1) Platform Independent - Doesn't matter where you write the code, it will run on any Java machine 99% of the time.
2) GUI build in - unlike C & C++, Java has its own user interface system built in.
3) The syntax is pretty easy. Not IBM 370 Assembler easy, but easy enough.
4) It has a lot of programming constructs built in. Linked lists, Database access, networking: all built into Java. Cuts down on the amount of coding neccessary.

A word of caution though. Games (or any program bigger than Hello World) take a lot of work. Don't expect to sit down one day w/ Java and get up with a game programmed. If you want to do that, there are several "Game Authoring" tools that allow you to ignore most the the programming aspects of games. I am embarking on a Java gaming project, so if you want some help/code, let me know.
