Meowball,
Thank you for including me in your Awesome post! Merry Christmas to my hyper family! I wish I had some kind of coding skills so I could help out more, gonna be going back to school in 2016 to get a degree in computer science. But until then all I have is my voice to help out this awesome project.
Thanks.

Even without a degree, you can still learn and become an awesome programmer! I know many people who don't have CS degrees, but with dedication and practice, they become programmers. Once you go back to school to earn a degree, you can become an all-star! Cheesy

If you would like to learn programming, I can point you to some resources that could be helpful. The important part is to be patient. And at a certain point, something will click in your head, and you'll finally get it.

That would be Awesome! I downloaded msft visual c++ but don't know where to go from there, or if that is even the place to start. any advice or links would be awesome!
Thanks

It depends what you want to learn. Whatever language you learn, the key is to be patient and learn everything there is about the current thing you're learning. Speeding through will NOT make you a better programmer. A lot of people make this mistake. I know that it can get tiring. It can get frustrating, and you may think speeding through is the easier way out. It's not. It's about learning whatever you're confused about to the point that you understand it. I would recommend checking out Codeacademy and learn Javascript and/or Python to start. Also, a lot of the concepts you learn in one language can be applied to other languages.
