Beginner next door: “WTF is this…, what is he trying to tell me?”

This happens to many people who read their first article or tutorial about game programming so
don’t be discouraged! It is normal that you don’t understand that much at the beginning.
Programming requires you to think abstractly!”
Beginner next door: “All these variables and these commands and I understand none of them…”
<-( , . -.- . , )->
01001101 01000101: “Yes this is normal, you will learn step by step and you will not rush!
Be happy about that you’ve already read tutorials on the first day …
Don’t start to program on the first day, you’re only willing to do if you know the basic informations!”
Beginner next door: “But what is the matter?”
<-( ? . ‘.’ . ? )->
01001101 01000101: “You should know how the PC handles programs, how the PC translates your code and also how it is executed!
You should make yourself familiar with the syntax, this is not like your native language!
Learn the basic writing styles, compare programming languages and find one that appeals to you and search suitable developer tools.”
Beginner next door: “Okay I did that but now I want to develop a game!”
<-( ! . ò.ó . ! )->
01001101 01000101: “No I’m sorry you will not develop a game now.
Be satisfied with little at the beginning, even if you just get a boring “H3!!0 W0R!D1″ displayed on the screen, be proud of yourself and try to understand what you’ve written there and also work often with same commands to learn them.”
