If you've never programmed before, here's your chance. I'm not very good at it, but I know the basics.

Part 1. Introduction

What is programming?

Programming is where you get to design applications. You can design stuff from simple web browsers to extreme games to everyday applications.

What types are out there?

There are quite a few. I'll name some of them:
Visual Basic
C++
C#
Delphi
SQL
Java
Flash
and many more.

What should I start with?
Usually you should start with Visual Basic. It is the easiest of the programming languages and allows for basic application building.

Part 2. Getting Started
First, you will need Visual Basic Express 2008. Once that has been installed, it's time to code. Note you can also get VB6 at a mere 3MB, but I prefer the 2008 version simply because it is more streamlined.

Part 3. Creating your first app
Because Microsoft already supplies information on how to create a web browser, I am going to put that aside and do something more advanced. You can do that if you wish. It will give you more knowledge into VB.

I will create a Flash loader instead, seemingly because I play to hack AQW. First, start up VB2008. Once the Start Screen appears, click Create on the left hand side of the Start Page. Name your application whatever you like (in this case, AQW). Once it opens, click and drag the window to a more reasonable size like 810 x 730 (enter it in VB as 810, 730). You can see that the size changes once your mouse finishes dragging. Next, name the window under the Text property. I’ll simply name it AQW Loader. Create a Flash object. Go to the Toolbox (hover mouse over the tab). You cannot see that there is a Flash object there. We could use a web browser object, but there will be problems later on. So right click anywhere in the toolbox and click Choose Items. Click the COM Components tab, and tick Shockwave Flash Object (you need Flash installed). When Shockwave Flash Object appears under the General category, drag it up to All Windows Forms. Click it, and drag a Flash object and size it to 750 x 550. Next, drag a button and 2 textboxes so they are positioned somewhat like this:

Make sure the one that isn’t next to the textbox is not visible (change the textbox’s ‘Visible’ property to false). It is now time to enter some code to make this work. Double click the Flash object and enter the following:

So basically this is a guide about programming that teaches nothing about programming.

FANTASTIC.

Hey for all beginners i suggest using this new program called small basic. it is much alike visual basic but for the sort of projects you should learn 1st(really basic ones.. i think that making web appz and calculators and stuff isnt very useful since it uses premade and very little input and thinking.)

Here is a little blackjack program i just made in little time Laughing
